I am both a biker (not a club member) and transportation professional. Moved many bikes safely over long distances, no issues. Loading a motorcycle safely from ground level to truck/trailer can indeed be done safely. Recommendations: 1 DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RIDE MOTORCYCLE ONTO TRUCK/TRAILER BED. WITH ENGINE RUNNING, THIS IS FOOLISH BECAUSE THERE IS NO EXIT STRATEGY. USE MOTORCYCLE'S POWER, IN 1ST GEAR, WITH CLUTCH, TO W A L K MOTORCYCLE ONTO TRUCK/TRAILER BED. 2 If Possible, build and/or use a ramp (1/2 inch plywood reinforced with 2×3 works beautifully) to load motorcycle. Ramp CANNOT be short. For every foot of height, you want 3 feet if length IE: 4 feet high, 12 feet long etc. 2 Ramp MUST be anchored securely to rear of truck/trailer. Rope is okay, use plenty, make sure ramp cannot shift backwards or sideways. 3 Ramp must be wide enough for both motorcycle AND loader who will walk motorcycle up ramp from LEFT side. If possible, build ramp wide enough for an assistant on right side. 4 Ramp must have slats (thin boards) installed horizontally for loader to acquire traction with his feet. 5 Loader MUST have an EXIT STRATEGY...if engine stalls (too much clutch/not enough throttle ?) and/or unexpected conflict between apex of ramp and motorcycle frame/engine/exhaust and/or unexpected loss of traction, loader can simply and safely walk motorcycle back down ramp, re-strategize/correct problem and try again. 6 Once motorcycle is safely aboard truck/trailer, shut off engine and roll motorcycle as far forward and to RIGHT side of conveyance as possible. Leave motorcycle in gear. 6 If motorcycle has a double-stand, set motorcycle onto it. If using double-stand, put a piece of plywood under stand to spread weight over a greater area, especially if floor is made of wood. If motorcycle has a side-stand only, again, put a thin piece of plywood under side stand. 7 Using ratchet-straps, anchor motorcycle down in FOUR positions. 2 straps preventing side-to-side movement (one for left, one for right). 1 strap preventing forward movement. 2 straps preventing rearward movement. Best pressure points include steering head and frame. When tightening ratchet- straps, make sure you are not putting stress on gauges, fuel tank, cables, hoses etc. If forks compress, that is OK. 8 If there is a concern with rain or snow, motorcycle can be covered with a tarp AFTER securing. Have fun folks. Safety first. Always.

Take it from a 50-year biker. Ride The bike and drive the truck to your local supermarket or Warehouse District with recessed loading ramps. put the truck nose-first down the loading ramp flattening the ramp you're using to enter the truck. I've done it a number of times and it works really well.

Didn't even need to play the video. One look at the setup, I knew it was gonna be a disaster.

I always find a empty dock or condo ramp to make a level crossing from ground to my pickup truck.

If you can't ride up a ramp from a ROLLING start and NOT let off the throttle you will lose because you sacrificed MOMENTUM. I rode my FXLR up a modded school bus bumper into my pickup and the look on the seller's face was priceless. People are too afraid of the throttle and brakes. Those moving truck ramps are wonderful if you buy them from salvage. I have two. They are heavy but totally worth owning.

Commout hello thank you for your comment. I respectfully yet categorically disagree. Walking a motorcycle onto a conveyance using the motorcycles own power will always always always be a better option than riding the motorcycle onto the conveyance. You can argue with me until you are blue in the face but you cannot deny physics. Walking a motorcycle at low speed, with or without engine power, will always offer you the highest level of control over the motorcycle . Have a great day. Peace

@Clickmaster5k

Momentum is not your friend when loading a bike. Control is. If you cant load your bike with out a running start then you need to just get a trailer or something else that is lower. This is the worst advice iv seen anyone give on the internet in a along time. Just because it works for you does not mean its going to work for the zillions of new riders that might see your comment. Its as good as saying you never use a helmet and you are still alive. Statistics still show you live longer if you do even if an individual gets away with it.

We lived on a hill and the slant of the driveway and the truck being at the bottom made it easy to load. Unloading I wasn’t there but omg

Gravity has a way of bringing newbies back down to earth.

Never apply brake on your motorcycle while ramping. You can apply brake after the back tyre reaches flat surface.

Always wear a helmet when loading bikes.

1:23 that ramp shifted, looked like it was about o break

the way we always did it was to jack up rear of truck, remove the back tires and then lower the rear all the way back down onto its rims.....this always gave us a good 12 inches lower..with a less step ramp angle ...still very steep but . but a bit lower !!...we still had several tip overs but ..manage ta get them loaded !!

What is the second bike?

Second one, like a glove!

I've seen a man once jump an FX above the palm trees in SoCal with a ramp. He actually landed it. But its the hesitation of following thru in anything that leads you to fail.

Don't trust those tailgate cables ,mine were recalled years ago for ripping out of the crimped connector on the end.🤔

Any 12 year old would see that the break over angle wasn't going to work.

the first one lol, how is that even possible? that angel of the ramp...

Always back my tires down in a ditch THEN ride up the ramp.

now that he watered the ramp, ...it will grow up to be a full size car ramp😂

Dont ever tell a man I dont think so ! Because he will try .

Rode my FXD into a UHaul truck today with no problem , just stabbed it and stared, gotta have the ramp lifted or set properly in holes provided. Put piece of some 1inch past the ramp just in case it wanted to scrape, took 3 minutes then loaded my John Deere riding mower

I back the truck down into the ditch so the tailgate rests on the ground and just ride the bike in. I make sure there's somewhere similar to unload where I'm going. Worst case - I borrow or rent a bike trailer.

I had a guy turn up to buy my sporty .He had a pick up and 2 long boards. He said i an going to ride it up onto the pick up truck .I said you better pay me first .He paid me .

I like pausing these videos before they get on the ramp and guessing what is going to happen. First guy somehow thought the loose gravel at the base of the ramp was going to hold it once the rear tire started trying to pull it away from the truck. Those ramps come with instructions that say to strap them to the truck, and he's got places to do that. These people are too dumb to ride in the first place.

I think the last guy in video is the most hilarious. While his "spotter" hoses down the ramp with a garden hose, he preaches" being in control 100% of the time" as if he were a professional loader of motorcycles on dubious wet ramps with nobody to help him if the bike suddenly decided to set out on its own. Priceless display of arrogance.
