How to load a Motorcycle into a pickup truck 

Thanks man I appreciate that

Thanks, greatly appreciated

Good info I'll consider switching up the fronts. Where would you strap on the rear for bikes like v4's that don't have much frame exposed on the rear for tie downs and no pegs?

@@AlwaysGrinding24 I know this is a year late but you probably wrap the strap around the spoke. Like making a loop so there isnt metal hitting the bike

@@AlwaysGrinding24on my V4 I put Sato racing hooks in the holes left by removing the rear pegs.

Happy to help man! What do you ride?

@@AlwaysGrinding24 gxsr 1100 Suzuki . I just subscribed you're very good at explaining you should also do other topics I think it would be good keep up the good work

They're probably the best option for security and easy of use once it's installed.

Glad it helped out man. Bring a gopro out and what track?

@@AlwaysGrinding24 went to Buttonwillow in CA. Wound up getting a cheap stand from Cyclegear because it was cheap and also available to pick up, then modified it slightly by putting a steel rod through the front to give it more stability like the one in your video. Worked out great! Will have a go pro vid on my channel of the track day soon.

@@allaboutmd I'll be watching for it

Greatly appreciated!

Just noticed the profile pic, she looks very nice!

I'm a big fan of the new Aprilia line up. Even their smaller bikes, the effort they put into that RS 660, very impressive.

Let me know how well they work for you.

I use to be nervous about the back wheel but I've taken my Ducati from Minnesota to Arizona and Arizona to Minnesota and have even done some off-roading with the Duc in the bed without any issues ever. I think as long as the front is locked in with these stands, the rear can kinda do whatever and still be ok.

I appreciate the recommendation thanks man

Glad you appreciated it!

Thanks man!

Thanks!

Good suggestion, I'll try to put that together

@@AlwaysGrinding24 hey bud.. what size is your bed

@@blinkguy4ever 6ft bed

6.5 foot bed. You might be ok with a 600, smaller wheelbase

Glad you appreciated it!

Same thing except it's a little easier because the bars are closer to standing height. Same process though

Seems like people just want to save money. The sketchy 1 short ramp setups are often inspired by cost. And I compare that savings to tipping a bike over because the setup leaves too much opportunity for failure.

Same process just use the clutch and brake to walk backwards down the ramp. Occasionally check the rear tire to make sure you aren't going off crooked

Man I'm done letting anybody else touch my shit

I know they have the configuration setup for it but I don't think they'd both fit in a smaller bed side by side. Maybe slightly offset

I haven't, I think the bars would be your issue though. They and the windscreen typically sat pretty high above the roof line depending on the bike. Have you found one that could maybe work?

@@AlwaysGrinding24 I thought about the extended topper. But I don’t know. Thinking, they make a lift for toppers so you can lid atvs and then the topper comes down on top. No idea how expensive or how much the system would cost.

@trqmj wheel base for zx14 is 58inches and overall length is 85. So tailgate won’t close either way. But they make those metal bars that sit on your tailgate.

@trqmj was look at the crew 2017 Silverado max bed length is stated at 70inches.

6.5 foot bed

It is but I always compare it to what it'd cost if I tipped the bike over. So I'd rather spend 300 to avoid tipping over 25k. And peace of mind knowing it's not gonna tip over/is convenient has tangible value too.

@@AlwaysGrinding24 I think it’s $300 each ramp, means total is $640 for NJ resident

@@AlwaysGrinding24 but still, thanks for such great video and I am going to pay for those ramps. 👍

Hi nice set up what size bed truck is that a 6.5??

😂😂 Can't say it hasn't almost happened before

What tilt trailer do you have

@@AlwaysGrinding24 Having said what I did simply comes from a need for being fuel and transport effective a thing that many Europeans have to be for various reasons. There are plenty trailers out there that can angle down the ‘platform’ for any kind of smaller machine or vehicle like a bike to just drive up on it without a ramp. However trailers often have a very “jumpy” suspension so it’s important to strap the bike allowing it to rely it’s own suspension. Tightened straight standing, strapping looped through the wheels. Being a craftsman never buying anything not needed or if in case make it in shop. Have found out using trailer is for the most better for nearly anything keeping ware n tare down on the car and also makes everything more optional. Ok those things shown look good, seem to have some q but iron horses are supposed to have a rider not a driver/transporter. 45yrs on the roads now, intercontinental rider. (the US was nice).

Lol nah she's a big girl, I've just done it enough times to know how to feather the clutch and basically let the bike walk itself up. I just keep it from tipping over

Yeah go on then, bottom your bike out on the lip at the top 😂😂😂
