Hell, I would have just offered to ride it to his place... if he'd give me a ride home.

Ways to get a bike in a pickup

What a coworker and I did when I bought my bike and loaded it into his truck without a ramp was to find a ditch and back up into it. Then you can ride up into it with relative ease. Just driving around you may come across a nice little depression off the side of the road and just back that pickup into it. Its the cheapest option, but care must be taken.

I've used Imp's method a few times. Anything that slopes can be used. A ditch, a large pile of dirt, whatever's handy. Roll it in, or roll it out (hopefully with someone sitting on it with their hand on the brake).

My local mechanic uses a self built ramp made out of thick plank with a big hook on one end that attaches to his Van and strips rougly every foot ro so that give the bikes wheels something to grip on to...

Hey! You won't catch me argueing that this isn't a girl bike, Mike... but I think you'll get more of a rise out of telling all the guys out there who have the same bike that its a girl bike! hahahahaBubbaGump wrote:biker_rach wrote:My 750 was brought home in a pickup. We just backed up to a slope on the guys lawn and lifted it on. It was a little harder getting it off at my place but again, I just lifted it off! (and when I say "I just lifted it off" what I really mean is: my dad, brother, myself and a neighbor just lifted it off! It's that easy! lol
Ya..but c'mon Rachel - you're ridin a girl bike!I know there's a joke in here somewhere about how many Newfies does it take to lift a bike....
