Couldn't you just buy a ramp and use the back of your truck though?

I got a Tacoma with the TRD tow package, why wouldn't I take advantage of that? And fuck getting it up that high! Trailers are the way to go, 100%.

enh, its all in where you load it if you use the bed...i know both tracks I have been to now have areas where there is either a ditch or a dirt ramp to assist in loading into a pickup...and having appropriate manpower helps...

I know theres 1 CR at jennings that has an insane cool method to get his up in his full size truck. Small guy, starts bike, has chair sitting near tailgate and ramp, give bike a lil go, runs with it, hits the chair and into the back he goes! Thats with his motard tho, he uses the dirt ramp for his honda...

Because towing is a bitch and a half... all the hooking it up, kills your gas mileage, you can't drive too fast, rattles all around in the tongue, backing up and parking is a pain, etc. Just get a wide ramp and clutch the fucker right up there into the bed as you walk next to it.

When I get a truck the bike will be in the bed all the time until I can afford an enclosed trailer.
