Whats the easiest way to do this? I'm planning on bringing my bike up here to duluth so I want to put it in my truck. Once i'm up here i know i could have the help of a bunch of football guys but when i'm by myself I'm not sure how to do this. I've heard/read somewhere that parking the truck by a loading dock type thing then driving the bike onto the truck. If thats not possible what are some other options?

There are several threads here w/ recent activity that have plenty of pics and info about strapping it down in the bed of a truck, and the best ways to tie it down. I'll see if I can dig a couple of them up for ya.
Here's one.. but there a couple more too Im sure..just search the forums on hauling or trailering

You could also do it the old school way, by using you tailgate for a ramp.TDA Racing/Motorsports

I hate loading my bike in my truck. Scares me to death every time I do it.
AHF, which ramps did you get, I couldnt find anything that cheap on that site.

They're labeled as "ATV" ramps, but don't worry...the design is virtually identical to the "Motorcycle" ramps, and they are even stronger. I used them for my Kat, and now use them for the KLX.

That sooo didn't sound right!
Too funny, I had to have the lumber because the aluminum wouldn't hold up with the snowmobileTDA Racing/Motorsports

I know you shouldn't ride it up/over, but I do every time, even though I use two ramps. I use the second ramp for my foot, if I need to push off.
The key here is to crank down your ramps! strap them to the trailer hitch or something, or they will shoot out from under you as you give power to the rear wheel.
Everyone else has pretty much covered it in this, and other, threads.
If we ever reach the point where we can't openly discuss riding bikes on acid without even a modicum of civility, then the terrorists have won.
