Loading Bike onto truck
06/26/11 at 11:15:51
 
Someone a short time ago was asking about how safe it was to load a bike onto a truck so I figured I would take a video of my loading my bike for my trip to the tail of the dragon.

The ramp came from one of those liquidation outlets. I think it was $50. It comes apart down the center so you can have 2 narrower ramps for a lawn tractor or something like that. I've got my money's worth out of it.

I like that.  I was expecting a rolling start.  Nope.  The Thumper just grunts and crawls up.

The "outrigger" 2X4's look like a great idea and safety factor!

Nice job Al.. We have an aluminum ramp that
folds in the middle. It is great to throw in
the back of the pickup or strap down to the
trailer and off we go.. Smiley kim
