ed here, seen that same thing happen

dude trying to load a mint 900RR into the back of an 18 wheeler w/ a shorter ramp......so therefore it was even steeper.

no test run, just ran up the ramp, not enough speed........feel over on its side.......slid all the way down.

dude shipped it anyways........

God, that was hard to watch.

I never NEVER load a motocycle in the back of a bed without the truck backed up in a low spot or at a loading dock. It's just too stupid to go that high.

Oh yes.

My bike currently resides in a building behind my house and the door is so narrow I have to bring my mirrors in. There was no ramp so I bought those metal ramps you use (2 of them) to load your bike/lawnmower, etc into a truck. Never having driven up a ramp (especially so narrow) before and not realizing the part where my feet can't touch (so you can fall over) I panicked and went into my shed too fast and hit the wall on the other side.

I wasn't going fast enough to hurt anything other than breaking a mirror but boy did it piss me off!!!

A VFRD friend built me a nice, wide, wooden ramp later so it's all good now. Now all I have to negoiate is my dirt driveway and the dirt road my cabin is on. That hasn't bothered me but boy did that ramp!

I rode my DRZ into the back of a Uhaul... too hard to walk it up... the only trouble came when I got IN the truck... damn things are slick as hell!

yeah I ride my DRZ and fiddy into the back of my truck, but I wouldn't care if they fell like that. I have done worse to them on the trail.

I have a trifold atv ramp though, so it's a lot wider.

funny thing is I tried riding my ZZR up in to my pickup bed on a tri-fold ATV ramp and it fall over on it... pinning my leg... lol... I had the truck backed too close to the garage and when I rode up I had to duck and lean to clear the over hang... went to put my foot down...found a hole

found out just how heavy my ZZR was trying to pick it up that way

Shit, I loaded my bikes onto ramps a lot higher than that truck.

He was fine until he hit the clutch and lost traction.
