So I've got this little CRF250L now and it fits into the bed of my truck. I have a nice ditch in front of my house that I can back my truck into and drive the bike into the bed. But I'm thinking I won't always be able to find a nice ditch at my destination to back into in order to get it out of the bed so easily.
Wondering what's the smartest/safest ramp system to get a dirt bike into/out of the back of a pickup truck?
Also, the bike only fits diagonally into the bed with the tail gate closed. Is there a smart way to strap it down like that versus straight in?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I've had a ramp like this for YEARS
Motorcycle Ramp
I've loaded FJR's, Super Tenere's, KTM 1190's, dirt bikes, etc. always on my own. Even now with a Raptor with a very high loading floor I use this ramp. You can always find some sort of small ditch, raised driveway or even a simple curb to help the angle a bit.
For small dirt bikes I now use a trail hitch carrier. It's also an easy one-man operation.
I notice some ramps are 5+ feet, some are 7+ feet.
Guessing longer is better in this case?
And less angle to the truck when you get up there. Not such an issue for ADV or dirt bikes, but if you've ever grounded your sportbike on that point, you know.longer would be better due to having less slope.
I have one, got it to do a review on it...Still have the ramp someplace, review was not favorable and they never published>Do not have this b/c of cost, but have always been interested in it.
