Thanks,
I gots 2 you can borrow, but you gotta come pick em up

When I die I want to go to Heaven, just don't want to do it real soon!!!
After seeing you load a bike on a trailer, please be careful!

Ya Im a bit worried about this to be truthful
I have a work truck with a Lift gate on it the ramps are a backup plan. The lift gate is 43" deep 52" wide and is 63" diagonal. The d675 has a wheel base of 54.7" so I'm hoping I can use the lift gate. Another Idea I have had is to use a board and back the bike onto the lift gate + board and let the front in sit off the gate and be on the board.
Let me think about the trailer, How big is it? does it require Trailer brakes? Can I borrow your hitch ball and post that it mounts onto, the truck has a receiver on it. Its a 2003 F-350
How wide are they? Picking them up is no Issue I don't think you live that far from me

I want the 2010 675 in the white w/blue frame

JJ,
I have a nice ramp you can borrow. Where did you get the bike? I can probably even help you load it up for the trip home.

Ya sorry no riding! im picking it up 5 hours away. One of my thoughts is to have zoom just follow me back and ride it home but thats along time to ride on flat land
well, then I can't offer the assistance with loading up, but you are welcome to use my ramp, straps, canyon dancer, soft ties, whatever. Just let me know what you need.
You'll be fine. Just take your time. I am sure the person you're buying it from will give you a hand too.
I got two large fold out/ curved Craftsman loading ramps. PM if ya'd like to borrow em. I'm in Highlands Ranch.
If you haven't lined anything up by Friday I have a small tilt bed open trailer you can borrow.
When life throws you curves, aim for the apex

One is about 10 inches wide and the other is 8 inches wide.
You'll be fine. Just remember;
- don't use the engine (bad things can happen)
- get a good rolling start to get it up the ramp
- always have one hand on the brake lever
- have other people stand on the opposite side and/or behind to help push
- buy tiedowns and possibly borrow Rybo's Canyon Dancers
- Maybe ask the other guy where he tied the bike down with straps and give you a hand.
- practice moving your current bike around a little just to get comfy
Just some ideas.
+1
Wow, there is a limit to Rybo's generosity.
Thanks for the ideas I'm sure the other guy will help me load as well. If I can use the Liftgate on the truck it will be my best bet I'm sure.
One of My Ideas was to pay Rybo to go with me to look over the bike and then help me transport it but then I got my hands on the one of my company's trucks.
Rybo hooked me up with a ramp, Canyon Dancer, and a few straps so I should be good to go! Thanx all!
JJ I have a ramp too if you need it. I only live across the street from ya too.
