ok basically i want a bike ramp big enuff so when i back it off the truck, i can still use my feet easily, i dont want some skinny ramp that i can barely use my feet when i back it up.

 

They make one that folds up for quads its huge though. I just use a single fiberglass telescoping ramp hijinks. It really sucks but its good enough to get the bike in/out.

 

do you guys push them in or ride them??

 

Get two ramps. Or, you can get like a crate to use as a step.

 

i got a folding ramp from Nothern Tools and Equipmant, for about $70, and i load my 1000RR into my 4x2 S10 myself, i just put it in 1st and drive it up then step on the tailgate and drive it unto the truck.

 

be careful doing that--i walked my bike up my ramp in first gear a few months ago and the ramp spit out as soon as the front wheel was on the tailgate. I now have a custom dented tailgate. Use straps on the ramp to hold it to the bed.

 

ya thats what im worried about when riding it in, almost wish my truck wasnt lifted so it wasnt as steep.......

 

I got a cheap one from harbor freight for $60 which is kind of short and would be perfect if I had a lower truck or 2wd. It has 2 separate ramps which are together on a hinge so I can walk up next to the bike or pull the pin and use it for quads. As it is the angle is kinda steep and I can only put in my drz or xr without worrying about scraping

It's the best on the market, but not the cheapest. It can also be used as a work bench so that you aren't bending down to work on your bike. It will handle up to 1500 lbs, and is easy to install and use! I can't remember exactly how much it is, but I think it was around $500. A friend of mine had one and loved it.



There are some more at http://www.SuperSportbikeLinks.com under the maintenance section.

Me, used to use a 2X10 that I had put some non-skid bed liner on. It worked better if you take the tailgate off. Now I use a trailer with a ramp, much easier to load, but it takes longer to get everything going.

 

500!!!!! jeez mang thats alot of cash for a ramp.....
