taking touring bike out of truck bed

It is an awesome setup. I never have to worry about where to unload, any open area. It telescopes into itself when not in use and only takes up about 8 inches of bed depth. Another nice thing, when loaded, all of the weight of the bike is carried on the bed and no weight is on the tailgate.

I tried to ride a dirt bike into a truck one time. A 8 ft truck bed get short to get stopped in. It never worked out to well for me ,with the sort stopping distance and the movement of the truck. I used a bank and a 2x12 several time to get goldwing in and out of truck. I walked it in and out. I now use this.

That set up is awesome. Even covered with snow or rain the ramp is not slippery at all. Traction going up or down is great. The only time that any slipping can happen is sideways. They make my 8’ long road king fit in my 5’6” truck bed. Also makes the bed still useful. I have gotten so much use out of it in the past year, and most of it was not for the bike.

Getting a bagger in and out of a pickup truck can be scary.
Good luck!
