Bike Loading Fails

[Firebolter]

I have seen some of these, some are new to me, all are "darwinian" to say the least!

Painful to watch

[phoo]

Especially that last one, I don't understand people not looking for ways to make the ramp less steep. He was parked right next to a 1' landscaping ledge. That would be way better than parked downhill with the tailgate up high.

Haha, I thought everyone dropped there dirt bike off a ramp at least once...

[phoo]

I learned that picking up some speed to look really cool loading your bike was a quick way to look really stupid years ago. It left a nice dent on the tailgate to remind me to not do that again.

I have, but it was from not paying attention and let the wheel come off the ramp. ANYTIME I have loaded a street bike (anything heavier than 300 lbs) I have help. Doing that by your self is just plain stupid, regardless of the type of ramps, unless it is a level on load like from a dock to the truck bed, that is safe to do alone.

I haven't watched it yet... don't want to see the carnage.

I'm just fortunate to have done my "ramp stupid" in the days before everybody had the ability to record video.

I hear you, there is plenty of stupid going on in that video. And muddy tires slip off the ramp really easy.

And.... I don't put street bikes in the truck, I ride em where ever
