Author Message   Fio835 Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 02:21 pm:        I just ordered a 11 Ranger. I gotta get a ramp to load the bike in for long trips! Any reccomendations? Ive seen the suitcase 12" style. I like because its small and portable but you cant put your feet down on it.   Fio835 Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 02:27 pm:        Ive also seen the "Black Widow" (Discountramps.com) Anyone have one of these?   Sprintst Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 02:31 pm:        I would recommend pulling into a ditch or something else where you can get the ramp to lay pretty flat makes life a lot easier   Fio835 Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 02:37 pm:        Yea, next door neighbors driveways got a good grade to it But id like to have safety/security of a good ramp. The black widow looks nice..$299.99 plus shipping though =/   J2blue Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 05:03 pm:        I have an '02 Ranger that doesn't sit up high like the 4WD models do. I recently started taking the rear tailgate off and setting the ramp I use on the bumper to lower the Y dimension a few inches and it really helps. The ramp I use is actually an ATV ramp I got at Harbor Freight Tools. It is a three section piece that spans the width of the bed and give the bike and person pushing it plenty of room.   Methyman Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 05:04 pm:        This is the one I have. Cycle gear had it on sale when I bought it earlier this year. http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1=&L2=&L3=&L4=& item=TUC_56-0062_G   Buellitup Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 07:59 am:        I'm a fan of the ditch method. I've also used the ramps from local places. If you really load/unload bikes that many times, it's worth the $300. But if you only need a few times a year, that's a big investment. I'm sure you already have, but if you haven't, you should consider other options. If you see mine on a truck, call the police; it's being stolen.   Fio835 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 08:26 am:        Thats why I was thinking of just the single runner. Its only 177.99 http://www.discountramps.com/folding_motorcycle_ra mp.htm I only use it to load maybe twice a year for trips and god forbid a break down.   Fio835 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 08:27 am:        This is the Black Widow $299.99 Nice quality from what I hear. http://www.discountramps.com/black-widow-motorcycl e-ramp.htm   Htekwo Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 08:41 am:        Ditch method is the way I get it done with single ramp. When you get good at it, you can find a suitable ditch just about anywhere
