Best arguments for low trailer AND long ramps!

The guy at 2.30 is not really a fail, the quad bike ends up successfully on the truck.

at 1:30, loading into the Penske truck looked familiar
for some reason....   thank god there weren't any cameras around...

happened to me on the way up the ramp ,i mostly saved the bike by having it fall on top of me. except for the clutch   lever

I always walk it up the ramp, me on one side on the ground and my wife on the other on the ground, hand at the rasy on the front brake lever.  Slow and steady up the ramp into the truck side stand down.  Strap it up and away we go.

I dumped a john deere garden tractor on myself once. Forgot to raise the mower deck and spit the ramp out from under me when it caught the edge of the truck bed. Not a pleasant thing.

I learned a long time ago that a low trailer is the best way to go. However, if you have to put it in a truck, have a lot of help, or drop  the rear tires into a low spot in the ground where the tailgate is. at most, two feet off the ground.
The slope down my driveway combined with the upslope in the street is a perfect spot for loading my bike in the back of the truck. Getting high centered as you go from the ramp to the truck bed is not a fun deal!
