10 Funny Bike Loading Fails

Let's face it, at the end of the day, we are all humans, and nothing is funnier than a good fail. Here are some motorcycles that failed miserably while being loaded up on trucks.

1. The Ramp is Still Alive

Getting the motorcycle to roll up the ramp is not the easiest of tasks, and this man can vouch for that. Nothing says a bad day more than missing the ramp with your bike. Watch this fail HERE.

2. Third Time is a Charm

No man has ever succeeded without enough persistence, and this man is no different, except that he never succeeded, but no one can say he is not persistence nevertheless. Watch this fail HERE.

3. A Good Head Start is Key

We weren't sure if this was a motorcycle loading video, or a stunt, simply because the man started from over 20 feet away before flying over the ramp. Also, the shades are a bit of an overkill. Watch this motorcycle fail HERE.

4. It's Him or the Motorcycle

To break up the list, here's a video of a man unloading his bike instead of loading it. Unfortunately, he learned that there is only room for one on this ramp, him or the motorcycle. He chose neither. Watch this fail video HERE.

5. Who Needs Real Ramps

In this video, we see that not all homemade ramps work. This individual learned that a small investment can go a long way, and he also learned that 2x4s are not ramps. We understand the photo is not pretty, but nothing about this video is pretty. Watch this ATV loading fail HERE.

6. Always Secure Your Motorcycle

Well, someone didn't think this one through. Not all motorcycle and ATV fails end in falls, some just end in... well, this.

7. We Need More Throttle

Sometimes, equipment can just fail, and unfortunately, it is still funny. Of course, after you fall, you always need to give it more throttle. Watch the loading fail HERE.

8. No. Just No.

Must we say more?

9. Still a Fail

This man almost survived an epic fall; in fact, he survived to a certain extent, but it's still a fail nonetheless. With that in mind, props to him for semi-saving the day. Watch this close call HERE.

10. Loading Burnout

Here's another example of why you should use a proper ramp to load your bike. The extremely thin piece of wood couldn't stay in place, because as physics taught us, if the wheel pushes backwards, the floating ground will be pushed back if it's not secured properly. Watch this educational fail HERE.

In summation, the best advice for properly loading your bike? Secure your ramp!
