Just bought this...

It is supposed to be rated up to 600 lbs and the bike isn't near that much. Hell it was just as expensive as the ramps I wanted except I get to use my bed space and I feel that I can safely load and unload the bike on my own.

I should find out this afternoon or tomorrow whether my bike is totaled or not but I am rolling the dice and going with no. If not, this can just go to Alaska and get sold again lol.

The insurance lady said I could take the bike with me and drop it off up there for repairs. I am sure there is at least one bike repair shop in all of Alaska.

And on top of all of this, I reserved a uhaul car carrier and I plan to take apart my Mustang tomorrow and then tow it to southern Illinois where it will sit till I win the lottery and fix it up again.

Also put my first tank of diesel in the F250 and I managed about 16 mpg and that was with a wonderfully heavy foot.

I just don't feel right about those. Maybe if they attached in two or more points I would, but not with just the single receiver. ???

I gotta agree, I can see that thing just twisting left and right.

I'd feel better about putting the bike in the back of the truck, packing stuff around i and putting soem small light stuff in a basket on teh hitch.

agree 100% ever watched one of those go down the road. They aint looking too good. I would have a hard time trusting my bike on there.

Can't do it. My beast wouldn't fit even with the tailgate off. Put it in the bed, strap it down, and pack shit around it.

yep, if you got a store near you, go to it. I got the 12" tire one cheaper than that on sale, the store near me has cheaper prices than listed there.

Problem is then I would have to find a home for a trailer all summer while living on my employer's property.

Thats a great idea but in this situation I can fit this shit in my room or just leave it hooked to my truck without worrying about flat tires or having someone run off with it.
