Folding Motorcycle Ramps
RLCurry25
supposed to let you roll your bike into the back of your pickup truck?
I'm not sure what angle these things sit at, but the pictures show 1 guy
pushing the bike up the ramp by himself.
I hate to waste the cash on one, then not be able to push the damn bike up
the ramp.
Thanks for the feedback, and have a cold one on me!

get excited, it's only for emergency recovery!). Anyway, how high is your
truck? If it's a normal 2wd, or small truck, no problem. 1 man loading.
If it's high, back it into a low spot, like a drainage ditch, and lower the
rear end. I always got somebody to help when loading a bike anyway, lot
less chance of damaging it...

I've got one and it works great. They come in different lengths. I got the 6
foot because I've got a short bed and wanted to be able to get the ramp in the
bed. Have to park the truck low so I get a lesser angle into the truck. Fire
up the bike and drive right on. Getting it off is equally easy. I've
loaded/unloaded solo several times. If you have the long bed go for the longer
ramp, it'll make life easier.

it and it works great I carry it in my Chevy van . I can get my softail in
and out by myself.
When I used it with my pick up it was a little steep so I usually backed up
to a hill or ditch with it and it worked fine.
If you were going to use it on flat ground you might need cheater walk
boards alongside to put your feet down when necessary.
I also noted that when I tried to load my rigid pan or lowered softail from
the flat ground in to the pickup truck, when I rode up , the angle caused it
to bottom out in the center as I rode over the tailgate. So when you try
this at home, beware you could get high centered causing you to get stuck
with nowhere to put your feet down. Make a couple of assisted runs before
you get the hang of it to do it alone.

If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, why practice?

and out of the bed of your truck much easier. There are folding ramps
and also a ramp that mounts to the tailgate of your truck and only
takes up 4" of space in the bed. You put your tailgate down, pull the
ramp out and set the end on the ground and you're ready to go. It can
also extend the bed of your pick up truck by leaving the tailgate down
and using the ramp as a tailgate instead. This ramp also can be used
as a worktable when you have the leg accessories. You can pull your
bike up into the bed, put the legs on the ramp and use it to work on
your bike right there. They hold up to 1500 pounds and are designed to
break away and not snap if overweighted. We drove a '73 Chevy Blazer
up a ramp on the back of a Chevy Love. If you'd like any information
on them or if you'd like to locate a dealer in your area please let me
know if I can be of assistance. My e-mail address is

Hope this helps you out.
