I like the first ramp because you can get 2 and use one to walk up while loading the bike. The reasons I like them better are they take up less space which is great when on a trip and they are arched.
I use a hitch carrier to haul a 250l, it is pretty nice since I use a full size truck. It would be way to sketchy to load in the bed without backing up to a hill like you say, which not all places may have. I wish mine tilted like yours, because it can still get hairy without that! A longer ramp for it may help since the one it comes with is less than 3 feet and makes a steep angle to climb.
I've loaded thousands of motorcycles and have never used straps. But yes, you know better, by giving tips to people. I ran into this vid because I'm looking for a new ramp. Cheers!
I use two ramps similar to yours (harbor freight). I use winch hooked to strap around forks and through rear window pickup slider to eye bolt hooked through lumber spanning past each rear open door. I happen to load crf250 also.
Yeah agreed. On top of that, the two folding ramps take a lot less space when its in folded position. Remember, you have to bring them with you every trip
Yeah, but if you weld them together, they would take up a lot more space vs two singel ramps, when you fold then for your trip. Personaly i've go for two singel ramps
@@KorysRides yeah, he's a firm believer in using what you have on hand. Most anything that is rated for weight is under rated to make lawyers happy. I still wouldn't do it tho.
I have that ramp and a thing called easy step, it goes into the trailer hitch and has steps that fold out so they are even with the ramp, just push or in gear the bike and walk up the steps into the bed, I’ve never seen anyone with my set up but it’s been out for a long time
Yes they are. 500 miles in one day on this thing is taxing on the body. every spare location helps. I also put my legs up on top of the radiator guard and put my boots on the front fender just so I have somewhere else to put my legs so my body's in a different position
I don't remember for sure, but I'm six foot three and it was just a little bit taller than I am. I wish it would have been longer, because any motorcycle with a header that ran underneath the frame would get hung up on the tailgate when I loaded with that ramp into my Ford ranger. I did have a tall Ford ranger though.
@@KorysRides what is why I'm.asking us that 1 looked pretty tidy and very identical to the warrior 2.2m ramp and looking at your tlrause height at the rear it was a good height ....I'm plating with 0m6m (600mm) off a raised block/foundation and a 1400 gsx so a heavy bike and was wondering if it would work it states it's good for close to 350kg's so plenty there just until I put in a concrete 1 thanks
How do you halve the load on one ramp by buying two, put them on top of each other, rediculous?You are advising us to ride the bike up this ramp, are you mad?
You do not ride on the bike. Therefore, your weight is not applied to that ramp. Your weight is applied to the second ramp, which you are walking up while operating the controls of the bike as it goes up the other ramp. Also, most single ramps are rated for 750 or 1000 lbs, so you could ride it up the single ramp. I have ridden my CRF250L up that single ramp many times. Just takes skill.
Ive watched a few similar video's and this one makes the most sense to me. Good advice, thanks Kory!

Be careful with the extra distance from the hitch... It'll have an added leverage effect and might be over the 400lbs rating of the hitch.

You could get 2 folding ramps, side by side, one for the bike, and one for the human.
Yeah agreed. On top of that, the two folding ramps take a lot less space when its in folded position. Remember, you have to bring them with you every trip
Two folding ramps welded together...does the job for me...load/unload alot so it suits me and it is much safer for me
Yeah, but if you weld them together, they would take up a lot more space vs two singel ramps, when you fold then for your trip.

My father in law used to ride his bike up half of an extension ladder.
Yikes. No thanks. Most extension ladders aren't rated for over 300 pounds.

Completely satisfied.

Good video you did here sir.
Thanks soon I'm geting a dirt
bike thanks
where can I find this particular ramp. can you privide a link?
looks like itll work great for my 125 pit bike.
Check out the StepRamp.
Are those highway pegs on there? 😂
Yes they are. 500 miles in one day on this thing is taxing on the body. every spare location helps. I also put my legs up on top of the radiator guard and put my boots on the front fender just so I have somewhere else to put my legs so my body's in a different position
its a dirtbike, people who worry about clutch so much clearly have no idea how to ride
How long us that 1st thinner ramp matey ?
I don't remember for sure, but I'm six foot three and it was just a little bit taller than I am. I wish it would have been longer, because any motorcycle with a header that ran underneath the frame would get hung up on the tailgate when I loaded with that ramp into my Ford ranger.

Allan Byrne walk up one ramp, drive/push bike up the other. Duh, think a little.
"Duh" yourself, how does that make the bike any lighter? Unless you are still considering the foolish option or riding the bike up a 12" wide ramp?
You do not ride on the bike. Therefore, your weight is not applied to that ramp.
