I have a couple of ramps made from 2x10 yellow pine with steel lips on one end to rest on whatever you are going up..Have used them for dynas, dressers etc never had a problem...even up into my truck....don't forget, the weight of the bike is distributed over the length of the bike, not in one spot.

Just remember if you are riding it in while seated on the bike, make sure the ramp is wide enough to place your feet. If you need to stop halfway up, and can't put your feet down, you could end up on your side in the lawn.

easy fix
I have a huge problem and thought I would turn to everyone here to get a quick solution. Here is the problem... I pick the bike up today and the only real place I have to store it is my shed... Building a new shop starting next week and I be dammed if I will leave the bike out in the weather. So I have the clearance to get the bike in the shed but I need a way to get it in there. I was planning on the ramps they sell at Lowes or Home Depot but after reading the reviews I don't really trust them. I was also looking at using plank 2x10x8 lumber but what would be the weight rating be on those? Like I said this is just temporary.
