If you plan on "riding" your bike up the ramp and into the truck bed, be very very careful and get some help.
One little off balance jig and over you go....possibly to the ground with a 600# plus bike on top of you.
The same if your backing it down the ramp.....get some help. One little tweak and bang...your down and so is your bike.

again, i'm not affiliated w/loadall. i just have one and recommend it, if you do NOT want a trailer and want to park it (truck/loadall/bike) in a single parking place even at a hotel/motel/your garage. weights 300 lbs, internal ramp(s) slides easy.

Does anyone load their dyna in the back of a truck with out using a wheel chock or boards or anything? I'm wondering if I can just load my street bob using ramps into the back of my F-150. It will have to sit on the tailgate though.
Thanks

Build a couple of small ramps by stacking some 2x8 or 2x10s to drive the front tires of the truck up on. Will lower the rear end on the truck and decrease the angle at the tailgate.

I have the tractor supply ramps and loaded my sporty for the first time. I too have a shorter truck bed, F150 crew cab. I mounted a front wheel chock and used easy straps and hauled it from home for 3 hours to where I am working. A little concerned about unloading tonight but the ramps do have chains to keep them from just sliding out from under. I too found a small mound to soften the drop. Should have bought that toy hauling travel trailer would be easier.
