Um sorry to break the bad news to you but any 2 wheeled motorbike weighing over 600lbs is what we call in the hobby a "barge"
And as adept as I am in loading 2 wheeled vehicles into pickup beds... I am certainly not foolish enough to try & load something so heavy from a "ramp".

I guess we can add a new group "the tailgate ramp police" Armchair know-it-alls have found a new subject to spout their drivel about. I'm always amazed at the breath of their knowledge..

you are not sorry and you are not breaking any news, you are just a troll. i honestly do not give one crap what you call something or about your lack of ability to load things into your truck. you are so insignificant you can't even realize it.

Hey OP

when you load the mower back the truck in a shallow ditch if you can, it will lessen the angle from the ramp to the tailgate so you don’t get hung up on the mower deck.

And don't forget to tie the ends of the ramp to your bumper or hitch.
Once the front tires go into the bed, the back tires will want to shoot the ramps out.

I’ve actually seen this happen

Someone (not me) was loading an ATV and goosed the throttle when the fronts were already in the bed and shot the ramps out the back.

It's amazing to me how snowflakey some people get when others have an issue with how they are doing something.

Theres no actual police here, no one will show up to hand out tickets are cart off to jail. Take advice if it seems solid, don't take it if you don't care, but also don't whine if you ever end up in a 'we told you so' situation.

Thank you for your attention on this matter- Mayor of Whinetown.

I've seen a guy run their prestigious antique car through the rear of their garage into the living room, as well.

And yet, they still make garages - the audacity!
