But once the front tire gets on the ramp you have to release the front brake and just let it roll on off.

That's exactly what I do as well. After you do this a few times, it's easy. I also use the tongue jack to lift the front of the trailer as someone posted earlier to reduce the threshold angle as to not drag when loading.

When backing down the ramp, with the engine off, I use the clutch with the bike in gear as another brake which seems to work well.

[QUOTE=Taranwanderer;13826610]..... I added a diamond plate strip at the bottom of the ramp to smooth the transition from ramp to ground..../QUOTE]
How thick is that diamond plate? It turned out nice. I am ready to do something like that and don't want it any thicker than needed....
