[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 661815, member: 22658"] Tripdog - I used to struggle as well loading my bike in my truck - until i figured out a few "tricks" [list=1] [*]Use a ramp at least 7' long (mine is 8') [*]find someway to hook your ramp to the truck so there is no risk of if sliding off the tailgate as you load. Moose makes a thing for this - or what i do is hook a tiedown to the hitch then to a eyebolt in my ramp. [*]Set up your bike stand on the left of the ramp near the rear of the truck. Step up on the stand to see if it positioned so it is a comfortable step up. [*]Get a bit of a running start as you approach the ramp. as you approach keep your momentum up and step up on the to bike stand, then up to the tailgate of the truck. If you get good at it, its like one fluid motion. If you need to stop on the bike stand, squeeze the front brake to hold the bike in position while you get ready to step up to the truck. [*]have your tie downs already in place hooked into the bed, and the other ends laying up on the cab of the truck, hook the one on the left side onto the handle bar, snug it up such that you can lean the bike to the right pulling agains the tie down yet so the bike stays put. move around to the right side, hook that tie down. then snug both up like you normally would. [*]If you are loading more than one bike...make your riding partner help! [*]Head for the trails! [/list] [/QUOTE]
