Take it from a 50-year biker. Ride The bike and drive the truck to your local supermarket or Warehouse District with recessed loading ramps. put the truck nose-first down the loading ramp flattening the ramp you're using to enter the truck. I've done it a number of times and it works really well.
@@AAAskeet exactly. I have moved my motorcycles a few times with U-Haul box trucks, nose-first they fit right down into those loading ramps and it's a flat Drive-In.
I am both a biker (not a club member) and transportation professional. Moved many bikes safely over long distances, no issues. Loading a motorcycle safely from ground level to truck/trailer can indeed be done safely. Recommendations: 1 DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RIDE MOTORCYCLE ONTO TRUCK/TRAILER BED. WITH ENGINE RUNNING, THIS IS FOOLISH BECAUSE THERE IS NO EXIT STRATEGY. USE MOTORCYCLE'S POWER, IN 1ST GEAR, WITH CLUTCH, TO W A L K MOTORCYCLE ONTO TRUCK/TRAILER BED. 2 If Possible, build and/or use a ramp (1/2 inch plywood reinforced with 2×3 works beautifully) to load motorcycle. Ramp CANNOT be short. For every foot of height, you want 3 feet if length IE: 4 feet high, 12 feet long etc. 2 Ramp MUST be anchored securely to rear of truck/trailer. Rope is okay, use plenty, make sure ramp cannot shift backwards or sideways. 3 Ramp must be wide enough for both motorcycle AND loader who will walk motorcycle up ramp from LEFT side. If possible, build ramp wide enough for an assistant on right side. 4 Ramp must have slats (thin boards) installed horizontally for loader to acquire traction with his feet. 5 Loader MUST have an EXIT STRATEGY...if engine stalls (too much clutch/not enough throttle ?) and/or unexpected conflict between apex of ramp and motorcycle frame/engine/exhaust and/or unexpected loss of traction, loader can simply and safely walk motorcycle back down ramp, re-strategize/correct problem and try again. 6 Once motorcycle is safely aboard truck/trailer, shut off engine and roll motorcycle as far forward and to RIGHT side of conveyance as possible. Leave motorcycle in gear. 6 If motorcycle has a double-stand, set motorcycle onto it. If using double-stand, put a piece of plywood under stand to spread weight over a greater area, especially if floor is made of wood. If motorcycle has a side-stand only, again, put a thin piece of plywood under side stand. 7 Using ratchet-straps, anchor motorcycle down in FOUR positions. 2 straps preventing side-to-side movement (one for left, one for right). 1 strap preventing forward movement. 2 straps preventing rearward movement. Best pressure points include steering head and frame. When tightening ratchet- straps, make sure you are not putting stress on gauges, fuel tank, cables, hoses etc. If forks compress, that is OK. 8 If there is a concern with rain or snow, motorcycle can be covered with a tarp AFTER securing. Have fun folks. Safety first. Always.
I'm guessing that first guy and his wife completely failed geometry. How could he not see that this was going to be a high center from the beginning? Lol
If there is any way you can, buy an enclosed 6x10 trailer with a 6' roof. People can't see what you are hauling. Your bike is protected from the rain etc after you spent hours detailing it, while hauling it. You can haul furniture etc in any weather. Save up. It's worth it. Low loading height.
If you can't ride up a ramp from a ROLLING start and NOT let off the throttle you will lose because you sacrificed MOMENTUM. I rode my FXLR up a modded school bus bumper into my pickup and the look on the seller's face was priceless. People are too afraid of the throttle and brakes. Those moving truck ramps are wonderful if you buy them from salvage. I have two. They are heavy but totally worth owning.
Commout hello thank you for your comment. I respectfully yet categorically disagree. Walking a motorcycle onto a conveyance using the motorcycles own power will always always always be a better option than riding the motorcycle onto the conveyance. You can argue with me until you are blue in the face but you cannot deny physics. Walking a motorcycle at low speed, with or without engine power, will always offer you the highest level of control over the motorcycle . Have a great day. Peace
Momentum is not your friend when loading a bike. Control is. If you cant load your bike with out a running start then you need to just get a trailer or something else that is lower. This is the worst advice iv seen anyone give on the internet in a along time. Just because it works for you does not mean its going to work for the zillions of new riders that might see your comment. Its as good as saying you never use a helmet and you are still alive. Statistics still show you live longer if you do even if an individual gets away with it.
Just a dumb American here... do yall even have a proper pickup? Do they come with ramps? I feel like you have no idea what your saying and you are only saying it to be an asshole.
My ex father in law did this 1x. Cost him his pride, hospital bills and he had to go through excruciating pain to call for an ambulance. I asked him not to do this (fortunately I seen another dummy do it when I was young) I told him I’d be right there to help. When he said , “ I got it stud” , and that he knew “exactly “ what he was doing! I said, well Mr. Don’t expect me to come pick your butt up, you got it under control than I’m headed out on the boat. Then I hung up. Midnight I got the message. He lived but he got trapped under his bike
I've seen a man once jump an FX above the palm trees in SoCal with a ramp. He actually landed it. But its the hesitation of following thru in anything that leads you to fail.
Tail gate down, heavy plastic milk carton rack for your middle step up. Walk the bike up with it in gear. Feet on ground. Feet on carton. Feet on tailgate.
the way we always did it was to jack up rear of truck, remove the back tires and then lower the rear all the way back down onto its rims.....this always gave us a good 12 inches lower..with a less step ramp angle ...still very steep but . but a bit lower !!...we still had several tip overs but ..manage ta get them loaded !!
Name of the channel is Loadall Loading Ramp. He's demonstrating how well his product works. That's the whole point of this video. Whos the hoser? dumbass
I think the last guy in video is the most hilarious. While his "spotter" hoses down the ramp with a garden hose, he preaches" being in control 100% of the time" as if he were a professional loader of motorcycles on dubious wet ramps with nobody to help him if the bike suddenly decided to set out on its own. Priceless display of arrogance.
00: 00 - 01:43... 1 Ramp is too steep meaning conflict between ramp and motorcycle engine/frame very likely. 2 No exit strategy in case of failure. Anyone who endeavors to transport a motorcycle on truck or trailer...please read my comment.
Rode my FXD into a UHaul truck today with no problem , just stabbed it and stared, gotta have the ramp lifted or set properly in holes provided. Put piece of some 1inch past the ramp just in case it wanted to scrape, took 3 minutes then loaded my John Deere riding mower
Have to back truck down in a ditch or something to lower the bed. I used to load my heritage in my s 10 in my front yard drainage trench which lowered the truck
warrenfloyd what you have stated is essentially true however circumstances sometimes indicate that we need to transport our motorcycles by truck or trailer. Please read my comment. Peace
I had a guy turn up to buy my sporty .He had a pick up and 2 long boards. He said i an going to ride it up onto the pick up truck .I said you better pay me first .He paid me .
I like pausing these videos before they get on the ramp and guessing what is going to happen. First guy somehow thought the loose gravel at the base of the ramp was going to hold it once the rear tire started trying to pull it away from the truck. Those ramps come with instructions that say to strap them to the truck, and he's got places to do that. These people are too dumb to ride in the first place.
I back the truck down into the ditch so the tailgate rests on the ground and just ride the bike in. I make sure there's somewhere similar to unload where I'm going. Worst case - I borrow or rent a bike trailer.
first guy shouldve found a ditch to put the rear truck wheels in to get a better angle! Theres no way a cruiser or most sportbikes wouldn't catch on the transition from ramp to bed
ShadowOfd3ath hi thank you for your comment. Another option would have been to use a longer ramp and to have it securely anchored to the back of the truck and to walk the bike up the ramp using the motorcycles power instead of trying to ride it on please read my comment thank you have a great day
Save your money and buy a 6x10 enclosed trailer. Low ramp height, plenty of room inside for the bike and extra gear, no one can see what's in it, if you don't advertise with stickers all over it. Weather protection. Can be used for hauling furniture etc. in any weather. Can be used for camping. More weather proof than any tent.

Lol
Yeah, that angle at the top. I saw it before clicking 'play'
way too steep & short ramp
@@mikeymcmikeface5599- Yeah, a Land Rover might not even get over that
Lol. Some people are just dumb.
Last guy is like "let me just wash the oil from your leaky cruiser before you're done loading it." 😂

Arthur McHugh perfect logic!
what if the person recording is in a wheel chair?
@@Hahahahe then they should have been the one loading as they've had more seat time 🙊🙈
@Alex Stewart LMAO damn..👏
The show must go on, you can't film the disaster if you stop filming
The first guy is done before he get on the ramp .
He missed class when they discussed angles.
OK guy with the water on the ramp...my new hero!
We lived on a hill and the slant of the driveway and the truck being at the bottom made it easy to load. Unloading I wasn’t there but omg
A U-haul motorcycle trailer is your best friend.
no - a functioning BRAIN is your best friend. I've seen guys with motorcycle trailers screw this up.
If there is any way you can, buy an enclosed 6x10 trailer with a 6' roof. People can't see what you are hauling. Your bike is protected from the rain etc after you spent hours detailing it, while hauling it. You can haul furniture etc in any weather. Save up. It's worth it. Low loading height.
make sure the trailer is attached to the tow vehicle so it doesnt tip up.
Especially if you buy 1 at auction!
Second guy is lucky that bike didn't fall over and spin around the inside of that box thats usually what happens.
..I like the last one...lotsa bikers could use an elementary education about gravity, inertia, and physics.

As soon as I see CROCS.......😵💫
remember to WATER your RAMP! ha
I was having difficulty sleeping for a month but this fixed that.
The fact that most new pickup trucks in the US doesn't come with a good loading ramp yet still marked with an insane MSRP!
$70,000 trucks aren't made for hauling motorcycles - they're made to strip large amounts of cash from soft-headed idiots.
Just a dumb American here... do yall even have a proper pickup? Do they come with ramps? I feel like you have no idea what your saying and you are only saying it to be an asshole.
The fact that most new trucks today are so high that you have to have a ladder to get in the back is insane.
“You stop when you wanna stop, and that’s all it’s about.”✊✨
The first guy try’s to ride a lawnmower up the same ramp and fails on another video
Tries
A good way to load your bike is to back truck up into a ditch hillside and drive it straight on into the truck. Don't get tk stuck in ditch.
Agreed. You definitely don't want that steep angle especially when its time to unload that will be a bitch
Jacking up the front of the truck helps when your stuck in the city.
Didn't even need to play the video. One look at the setup, I knew it was gonna be a disaster.
What is the point of the water hose starting at 1:10?
imho its a commercial for anti slip ramp ?!?
@@xxxy9928 OH YES! Thanks
It's a two for one. Wash the tires while you're loading the bike.
@@gregdrivesdriver5104 LOL!
to reduce the friction !!

The fact you didn't double check he had it, says a lot.
You sound like a real catch
And he didn't think it would bottom-out on the high tailgate and short ramp.😮 What a dummy. 😊😊
I always find a empty dock or condo ramp to make a level crossing from ground to my pickup truck.
right shoes... right physics....right? omg
I've seen a man once jump an FX above the palm trees in SoCal with a ramp. He actually landed it. But its the hesitation of following thru in anything that leads you to fail.
Always wear a helmet when loading bikes.
These people should always wear helmets period!
Gravity has a way of bringing newbies back down to earth.
Any 12 year old would see that the break over angle wasn't going to work.
Tail gate down, heavy plastic milk carton rack for your middle step up. Walk the bike up with it in gear. Feet on ground. Feet on carton. Feet on tailgate.
Finally some common sense. You have the right idea. Please read my comment
I guess the first guy obviously failed geometry. Good grief.
The first guy's mental ability shows why he's riding a metric.
first guy should just park his truck slightly downhill, doing that helped me dolly a fridge up pretty easy
Second one, like a glove!
This wasn't a problem in England in the 1980's... Back then we simply faxed the bikes to each other! 🇬🇧
Never apply brake on your motorcycle while ramping.
You can apply brake after the back tyre reaches flat surface.
Didnt have to read the tile when I saw the angle on that ramp....lol
the way we always did it was to jack up rear of truck, remove the back tires and then lower the rear all the way back down onto its rims.....this always gave us a good 12 inches lower..with a less step ramp angle ...still very steep but . but a bit lower !!...we still had several tip overs but ..manage ta get them loaded !!
the first one lol, how is that even possible? that angel of the ramp...
Uhaul has easy load motorcycle trailers for $14.95 a day where I am from.
Much cheaper than dropping the bike on your truck lol
What is the second bike?
Don't trust those tailgate cables ,mine were recalled years ago for ripping out of the crimped connector on the end.🤔
He, he, he... I'll save 500 bucks.
Some Harley Rider Somewhere: DONT YOU EVER PULL THAT SHIT ON ME YOU LITTLE KIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!
yeah that last part watering the ramp so he can increase his failure rate thats a great idea this man is a profession hoser
That is to show our ramp works great even when wet🤘🏻 built in non skid traction
Name of the channel is Loadall Loading Ramp. He's demonstrating how well his product works. That's the whole point of this video. Whos the hoser? dumbass
I only saw one fail partially. The video title needs to be changed to Motorcycle attempts while loading.
Please don't make anymore videos.

He is a professional and the hose was just to show the ramp has built un aggressive traction. Been in business over 20 years bud, check us out 🤘🏻
Dont ever tell a man I dont think so ! Because he will try .
They make trailer’s for this!
Everything is Math, that is a Badd Badd steep angle...

now that he watered the ramp, ...it will grow up to be a full size car ramp😂
Do they not have motorcycle trailers just for this Reason
I could never understand such a short steep ramp
I did the second one, uphill, on a Road King.
Slid across the inside of the truck and broke the turn signal lens.
The 2nd 1, that guy is definitely trying to compensate for going baldy, lol.
1:01 - Well, it went in
Only one crash? This video is a fail!
🤘🏻
Have to back truck down in a ditch or something to lower the bed. I used to load my heritage in my s 10 in my front yard drainage trench which lowered the truck

FROM 74-82 I was a Harley Mechanic and all 134 lbs of me could load any Harley ALONE in any truck with a 2 x 12.....by hand.
Dude you spend a ton on that bike to trash it?!
Noisy and not too bright. I feel so sorry for their neighbours
Seen the same scenario dozens of times. It's a wonder as to what possesses people to think any part of this is a good idea?
You can look at the ramp angle and see there's no way that's going to work man
The first guy 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Where was the water going
With an automatic bike this shit would be easier.
dirt bikes, atv , no problem , anything else ...Trailer
1:06 "Well, it's in!"
I always backed my van up to a hill.
How can a person not understand this won't work.
I had a guy turn up to buy my sporty .He had a pick up and 2 long boards. He said i an going to ride it up onto the pick up truck .I said you better pay me first .He paid me .
I was you 100th subscriber
Thank you alex🤘
Betting your legs against 60 hp.
the second guy thinks revving the engine will help.
1:20 for what the water ? for better slipping ??
Park the truck on a hill to lower tailgate. Your centre is out.
U can see that the angle of entry is far too high. Common sense should tell u this.
Buy a trailer. Jesus. 😂
First guy clearly failed geometry, that bike would have high centered if he’d been able to get it up the ramp.
First dude had zero spacial awareness.
WHY IN THE HELL IS THAT GUY HOSEING DOWN THE RAMP ?
I CANT FATHOM WHY.
I think it might be a sales pitch for the ramp - super non skid?
@@probuilder961 Thanks for responding.
JEEZ, I realy can't understand what
Some people put on U tube these days
Like that vid.
I like pausing these videos before they get on the ramp and guessing what is going to happen.

maybe a skateboard.

I make sure there's somewhere similar to unload where I'm going.
Worst case - I borrow or rent a bike trailer.
I can't watch. You would think that old guy would know better by now. Why would you film it? His wife probably enjoyed it
If I can't ride it it dont leave the yard!!!
Second one panic two-thirds of the way up

find ANY little tiny hill or even bump. Put the bike on it, back up to it so the back end is lower than it would be otherwise. ;)
Guess what....he failed geometry class in high school! 😅
Way to steep, way too slow, way too scared.....
Small Trailers are so cheap, why go through this nonesense
Save your money and buy a 6x10 enclosed trailer. Low ramp height, plenty of room inside for the bike and extra gear, no one can see what's in it, if you don't advertise with stickers all over it. Weather protection. Can be used for hauling furniture etc. in any weather. Can be used for camping. More weather proof than any tent.
I just shell out the $50 for the u-haul motorcycle trailer
00:26 Typical Yamaha rider.
Second guy could have made it but he panicked and stopped when he hit the ramp.
That for sure is no POS ford fckn ranger heartbeat of America right there❤
Not a thing in the world wrong with a Ford Ranger. With the right suspension arranger can easily haul a dresser.
