Today, got to exactly just that......put my bike in the back of a pick up truck.

Was on the Fraser Valley Toy Run and started losing power, then just as I got to the end of the run parking lot, the bike died completely, and nothing happened when I pushed the starter button. Popped the fuse cover and yup, the fuse was blown, replaced it with a new one and it last about five minutes, so had to call my brother to come and rescue me. Here are the pictures on how I did it.















Of course afterwards, be prepared to be abused and ridiculed by your friend or family......in my case, my baby brother.....what an "o"ring.

hmm wheres the in betweeners lol. Actually wheres the helmet buwhahaha.

You make that look easy!

I think the local law enforcement might frown upon me trying something like that though. Considering I'd have to dismantle a public fence to get anywhere near a good enough hill hahahaha.

I was lucky enough to have broken down where there was an accessible hill to use......that a kid brother with a pick up to rescue me along with a flea market being held and a kind hearted vendor who loaned us the wood to create the makeshift ramp.....

I use a tri-fold ladder style ramp for everything from Quads to street bikes, dirt-bikes and snowmobiles. It came with slots for 3/16th plywood that I cut and put in which removed the risk of dropping a foot between the rails. Riding up the ramp was never an issue and most times with the truck sitting at the right angle I don't mind backing the bikes down it either. You just need to be confident that you won't need to put a foot down at the wrong time or

creems, have no worry whether it had been a hurricane, tornado or rollover that motorcycle was not going anywhere the way you had it tied down not 1 but 2 4 inch strap plus some more! :win:

That was my kid brothers doing....he was afraid that it would fall over and scratch up the bed of the trucks paint work...didn't have the heart to tell it was already scratched up. He even stopped three times to check the tension of the straps.

ok just checking

My boyfriend loads it himself but he cheats doing it. We have a big ditch in front of our house and he puts the truck down in the ditch and uses the ramps that he has to get it in the truck. But the truck is almost to the ground when he puts the bike in it. If you can't do it that way then you are going to want extra help. One person on each side of the bike in case you lose your footing and one behind the bike to help push. Do not ride the bike up the ramps you will get hurt. No one needs to be in the truck when you do this to guide it because you will have one person on each side of the bike that will guide it. Most bikes will not fit all the way in the back without be in the on a diagonal. Please be careful. Good luck.

are their people making out in that 2nd picture??
