Ok, I'll rephrase. I wonder how many thousands it cost the insurance company to fix the idiots mistake.

Basically all I do is start it, stand on the left side, put in gear, and ease the clutch out and walk next to it. One ramp for bike one for me.

I like my wide ass ramp. Two people and a bike could go up it easily. Downside for some bikes is a low clearance bike wouldn't probably go up it without having a hill or something to flatten out the angle of the ramp.

that's exactly like mine... I'm gonna get some paneling to cover it and just drill holes and zip tie it to it to cover the holes... maybe throw some grip tape down or some spray on bed liner to avoid slippage.
