Loading ramps

[Gregbusa]

I will be hauling my hayabusa on the back of my Chevy Silverado, Until I get a trailer. What type of loading ramps do I need? Is it safe to ride the bike up the ramp or do you push it up? Thanks

Not to hijack your topic here, but what part of town are you in, I'm on the north end.

And about the ramp, I wouldn't try riding into the back of a pickup without a ramp big enough to give me the option of putting my feed down if I need to.

I agree with you on using a wide ramp (Safety first). I am in West Lakeland. I was going down I-4 and saw a guy with his Busa on the back of a F-150 (He had one of those 12in wide metal ramps in the back of his truck). My first thought was just like you said. What if he has to put his foot down?

any ideas

I've had a few bikes in the back of my truck, never the busa though. Each time we loaded it, I had at least two people. I've been thinking of making a pair of ramps that will store in the stake holes while driving, then can be removed, fastened together and used as ramps when needed. I haven't gotten around to it yet though.

try this man:
lessen the angle!
park your truck so the back wheels are in a shallow ditch.
or use a loading dock.
the less the angle, the safer the loading.

do that and you can use a smaller, folding ramp, like a fly aluminum folder

Hey Guys,  I will be picking me up the wheel Chock & a set of those tiedowns.

Kevin, I was thinking the same thing about the ramps. Building something that can be joined together while being used. We need to put our heads together and see what we can come up with.
Thanks for all your help

I have another good idea, it's Saturday afternoon, the weather is nice and we live in the same town, let's go for a ride.

Oh man, I would love to. However I just purchased the bike from another guy now I am waiting on Suzuki Inc. To send the title so it can be signed over to me. I was told by my credit union to keep it parked until then. Trust me that is a VERY HARD THING TO DO

That's okay, we'll do it another time. I talked my wife into riding and we made an afternoon of it. It was a great day for a ride.

They relist this all the time. Auction may end but they alway have another. If you ride up they I would pay attention the weight rating. If you hit it to hard, ouch. Well just be careful.

I plan on getting 2 ramps. Walk up one with bike running on the other. Also very carefull.

Someone noted fender will hit before tire. I almost found out the hard way. The day I picked her up.
