Maybe a ditch will work? Kinda flat here too, but I used a ditch once.

+1... If all else fails, go to Home Depot, buy a 2x6 thats about 6-8 ft long (depening on height of truck and length of bed) and a ramp kit (preferably the kit with the rubber feet) I know the HD in Chesapeake has them, as that's where I got mine, so I'm sure the Beach has them too. Takes about 5 minutes to slap together...

Or pay for gas and I can bring mine down... Shoot, I'll even stay at my dads...

it's only a 3 hour-ish drive for me...

Try this; find some place local that has a loading dock with a ramp. You can usually back the truck up to it enough to get the bike in and out. Be careful of belly clearance on the busa though.

Also, with the gate open back the truck up to the side of the loading ramp (guage your position carefully so you don't hit the gate into the ramp). The side of the ramp should be close to the ramp surface. back the busa onto the gate and up the ramp, then ride it down the ramp.

Good luck!

Also, four strong guys can lift it out of the truck.
