KEFA Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 anyone got some good recommendations on some good loading ramps? been looking on craigslist. i want some that will last forever.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 are there a lot of disposable loading ramps? get a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUST THE TIP Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 i got my ramp from schucks if im remembering correctly. aluminum, folds in half, and ran ~$80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Just use a wood board. Really two people can load a bike into a truck bed with no ramp at all. First you get the front wheel in by two people each holding a handlebar and gripping underneath the fork. Next the guy on the right jumps into the bed and holds the bike steady while the other guy lifts the back up by the subframe. Just keep your back straight.

alloverthetown Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Just what Soup said, been doing this for years, and was doing this with my off-road bikes. I can unload a dirt bike from a truck bed by myself... practice makes perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Placement Only Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 park the back of the truck at the bottom of the driveway and have people stand in the bed. all of that will lower that back end to get the bike in easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 ordering helmets online is the most annoying shit ever. so far ive ordered 4. none have fit me properly the first time. shit is gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleSuplex Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 seeking go to a motorcycle store and get fitted. duh. havent you ridden before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 you are grossly overestimating the shops down here. you're also over simplifying the 'fitting' process. one day i tried on 4 different style of helmets from the same company. depending on the model, i needed anywhere from a small to a large. the helmet i just got today, according to the manufacturers measurements, should be a size too small. it's a size too big. the helmet i got a couple days ago should have fit perfect, but is too small. no one in the city carries a normal 3/4 helmet of any brand, that doesnt have ed hardy on it. i suppose if all i wanted some some dinky yamika looking brain bucket it would easy, but id like something actually offers a little bit of protection.

TripleSuplex Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 ii went into a shop here in cali called road rider. i tried on three different styles of helmets, all full face. try hjc helmets. they run pretty standard to any size and will fit. i know one thing, i put on one size, and almost instantly got a headache(lightweight). i don't have a b-bucket but i will be buying one eventually. and i feel your pain on the ed hardy faggotry shit. they had a helmet at that shop that cost 1,000 and you could get your face screen printed on the front for another grand. gay as fuck good. heres a guide to buying a helmet in a store.- http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/streetsurvival/motorcycle_helmet_guide/index.html good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 ive got a full face that fits good. surprisingly, that was pretty easy. getting a 3/4 that doesnt make me look like im about to head into space is hard as shit. im almost there.

TripleSuplex Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 i bought a half bell helmet at first. when i got home wifey said it made me look like a "dickhead". big ass head, small shaft. lulz. i took it back and got a full face. much better choice. seeks, with all the heat and humidity in georgia9i think i remember said you live there), you could get a scorpion hybrid fullface. the lower part goes up to the top and has a fighter plane shield that comes down for a sunblock. look it up. their pretty cool, yet a lil to $$$ for my taste. h-d even makes a cool version of this.

seeking Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 im moving very shortly, so heat isnt about to be an issue at all. ive seen those modular helmets. pretty nice. someday ill get one. just got a daytona 3/4. if not for getting the wrong size, shit would have been awesome. it's the smallest DOT helmet you can get. look em up if you havent before. none of that martian shit like with the bell (i bought one and immediately returned it as well).
