Here's what I was rockin

The big heavy bike version acted as a tail gate extender as well.

nice Gas... yeah I want that type of ramp... but just don't have the $...

maybe it's because I'm riding a dual sport... riding off road you get into all sort of situations where you just have to add a bit of body english and give it some throttle... or you're gonna go down...hard. I don't know that I'd try riding up a ramp on a cruiser or sport bike though...

how in the fuck to you ride the 50 up that?

stay on the seams? cause those holes are bigger than the 50's tires!

No thanks, I got mine for $50 and it works perfect for me as long as I don't pull an ebbs. LOL

As ebbs can verify, the HF ramp is very good quality. I don't see having to replace it for decades, if ever.

I have seen it done. No joke. Was very impressive. It was a trials guy that I ride offroad with. He rode a DRZ up it. Of course watching him ride the DRZ on the trials was even more impressive, he made that big bike look like a trials bike. Made me really feel bad about how much I suck on my DRZ.

Yep I do the same...use the engine power, but walk the bike up the ramp. If you have a carb'd bike, make sure the thing is warmed up first.

The trouble with those ramps is they are too short. Most sportbikes would scrap the lower fairing.

How is that ramp? Im thinking about getting one of those for my truck. Ramp+bed extended sounds like a win-win to me.

yeah the only issue I have with mine is when it slipped off the truck it busted two rivets out for one of the hinges... no big deal as it's on the side I don't use...

yeah... I know. used it several times for my ZZR... very close... scraped when I tried to put it into my lifted truck... but not the stock one.

but I could care less now... no way am I scraping the DRZ
