For those interested the ramp is Black Widow BW-9440-HD
I like this guy. Very informative and thorough. Feels like I'm listening to a real friend that cares. Thank you for ALL your vids. Keep them coming.....
Yep...feel the same. Always good vids.
+jamm333 thanks, I consider you like a friend also. Thanks for watching
Front wheel chock is a must for safest transport
When coming down, clutch in gear
Damn you make it look easy!!! Big fan been watching all your videos BTW
which ramp do you suggest purchasing?
What kind of ramp are you using ?
This could likely be considered silly by a lot of people. I really appreciate your having shared this. Thanks Shawn, or is it Sean??
Where do u put the ramps and how do you secure them in the truck without scratching up the truck or the bike? They have to go along with you to unload the bike at the final destination.
I have a similar ramp with a strap under the bottom. In this video the strap to the truck doesn't look tight enough. If that ramp slides 2 inches away from the tailgate your bike and you will both be on the ground damaged. That strap needs to be very tight to prevent the ramp from moving away from the tailgate.
Great video! Smart idea tying the ramp to the hitch!
like i said you only make that mistake once, and i made the mistake with a 2002 kawasaki warrior
I prefer to rent a motorcycle trailer from Uhaul. The cost is only $14.95 per day, it has a gate/ramp, a nose in the front rail for the front wheel, and several tie down points as well as a full length rail. It only has a foot or so of rise from grade level. For those of us of smaller stature, it's much easier than a pickup bed. It's very east to tow as well.
Great job on all your videos Sean (I hope that's how you spell it). Hickock45 is the reigning King of You Tube for firearms, and you're the King of Motorcyles! Great job!

thanks and those uhaul trailers are great and super cheap.
I agree, that's the way I've always done it, plus you don't need a friend to catch you as you fall off, I only need to move my bike maybe X2 a year like that. the truck bed is a long fall when you back down the thing when offloading. the trailer is great as well when the bike has no power and is off to the shop, very easy to walk it on.
Question , is this truck Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD ? Bed Length 78.7 in ?
Good job bro 😊
Nice job
What size truck bed is this?
What's the length of the bed on that truck?
What bout screwing two 1 x 8's together say 16 in long to put in front of front tires to drive up on to lower the back end in order to decrease the ramp angle ???
Pretty easy with a really low bike like yours, little tricky with my Goldwing and it’s heavy as hell but good job
Thanks
Can we keep the bike off, but in gear and use the clutch as a brake?
What's the bikes name
0:48 to 1:00 ALSO...secure/connect EACH ramp to each other ( this appears to be 3 separate ramps ...if that is the case..ALWAYS connect them tightly together with good ratcheting tie straps as well in addition to securing them to the truck ....Fast Eddie from Motojitsu... you're welcome )
Hey brother can you use a 6 ft bed for a road king special wondering if it’s safe for the bed door
I use 6.5 gmc sierra all day. Back tire can rest in 6ft that fine. I've loaded my brothers road king in his Ford Ranger for him.
Good vid, I use ramps and a bar ditch lol.
haha
What brand ramp is that please?
Black Widow, I believe.
good to know :D
Read the directions on your ramps- you are supposed to remove the tailgate. It can't handle the weight/not rated for it .
I live in Ohio near Lake Erie, which is relatively flat. The hills start about 2 hours away from home, so by the time you ride there your butt is already sore and you're tired, so you don't enjoy riding in the hills as much. So, I'm thinking about getting an old pickup or van simply to haul 2 bikes down to the hills and start riding. I'm scared shitless about loading the bikes, though. I really, really, really don't want to drop one.
Where's the trailer
How much weight is the tailgate rated for?
They are not rated by the mfg.
On average 850 pnds
I usually back mine up the ramp so that it's easier to offload xD
How to use power to back up the bike? You cant just push it yourself backwards up the ramp can you? Or what?
whats the load limit of the tailgate? Another video says the gate may collapse.
You wont find a rating for the tailgate because they arent rated.
@@MrDirtysteve75 😆
You have links for everything except the ramps. Why?
Black Widow motorcycle ramps. Google it.
If you transport, where does the ramp fit?
These huge ramps won't fit along side the bike, so you need a trailer to take the ramp with you.
I have that setup. Couple suggestions. 1) If your bike will fit all the way into the bed, take your tailgate off and set your ramp to the back of the bed. 2) Leave the bike in gear when backing down the ramp. With a little practice you can use the clutch to add braking force to the back wheel, preventing front wheel slip. 3) I see you did this but didn't mention it - secure the smaller foot ramps to the bike ramp so they can't scoot sideways out from under you. 4) Secure the ramps to the truck in a V pattern so they can't slide sideways.
That ramp system is all pinned together, it can't separate.
@@jerryferrell517 There are no pins or latches holding those three ramps together. As I said, I have the exact same ramp system. The three sections have to be secured to each other with the straps. There is nothing else keeping them from separating.
@@thomabb
Ok, My Black Widow ramps that look just like those, have locking pieces that won't allow the 3 sections to separate while using. It would be sketchy if they aren't tied together somehow...
@@thomabb Watching his video closer, it looks like he has black bungee straps holding the ramps together?
What's the name of the bike you used?
+Caleb Anderson that would be a Yamaha v star 950
I wanted to know, also. I seem to like the Yamaha cruisers. I don't know what it is.
What brand is the ramp???? Cost ???
Looks like my Black Widow ramps I have.
$1100 with shipping and tax for the 48" x 12ft arched folding ramps.
I will go with option 2. Just use the trailer that you got there.
See how much effort if it could fit
what type of bike is that
+kampfer v star 950
Srkcycles what would u say is better the Yamaha Raider, Triumph Thunderbird Storm or the Vtx1800 which is your personal favorite
Have you ever had problems without taking tailgate off ?
I Bent my Tailgate in the center from loading my 900 lb Harley. After repairs, Now I place a crane pad there where my wheels travel..
Either that bike has a really low seat or you're a bit taller than average. There's no way I can do that on my Harley Road King unless I back my truck into a ditch.
That's going to go really wrong for you one day. Tailgates aren't designed to support that much weight. That little 950 and you together is over 700 pounds, larger bikes with rider can be 1000. Sooner or later those tailgate cables are going to break and someone's going to be on the ground under a heavy bike.
I agree, buy Tailgate support rods like I did.
🤔
fun to get a face to your voice.
+Filigonpuck Skronkaamulen I do tons of videos in front of the camera. Where have you been ? Lol
in a totally different place obviously hahahaha
nice ramp.. where can I get one?
i got it from craigslist, you can buy mine for 200, i want to replace it with a longer aluminum one
Where are you located?
You say motorcycle.....??? :) :) :)
I'd like to have a ramp like that but it would need to be longer. My bike is bigger, longer and lower than that one and my truck is higher
i have another skinnier aluminum ramp that i can put on this to solve that problem, but a 10' ramp would be better for sure
Buy the 12ft folding ramp.
I load my 900+ lb Electra Glide Classic no problem. The bike and I together are like 1200 lbs.
Buy Tailgate support brackets too.
Well... I will be getting a trailer then. No loading my cruiser on a pickup truck's bed. Too high compared to just using a trailer.
EDIT: And I have similar cruiser as that red one.
Get a Kendon stand up trailer. Easy peezy. Safer than dumping a bike off a ramp, and damaging the bike and the truck. I hate hate hate loading bikes in truck beds. It never feels safe.
Nobody's impressed when you do it with a thousand dollar rack.
Do it like I do with two 2x8 boards.
Lol xxxx 😀
Riding up is dangerous as shit, unless you've been riding for a while.
Riding a motorcycle is dangerous as shit too....sheesh....
Are harleys so bad they live on the back of trucks now. What's up with actually riding them?
cosgrove notts those bikes aren’t even Harley’s! Man you are a real expert!!!
Haha loser... What's up with making a fool of yourself? Where's the Harley??
Get a buddy to help you. Shut it off....push it up. Too easy to dent the end of the truck bed, or other disasters.
Lol. Ya right.. Push 900 lbs up a ramp like that would be stupid.
I place a 2x6x7 on edge in front of bed to protect the truck box.
I just RIDE my kawasaki vulcan 2000cc everywhere I go, no truck needed
