what kind of ramp should i buy?

so i just picked up a POS truck that i'm currently workin on.:YEAH

bought it so i can tow my **** around on, + it'd be nice to have a car incase the bike is down.

lookin to buy a ramo....saw these cheap aluminum ones on ebay for $40, but they looks weak.

saw the black widow ones that are WIDE as ****, but they are like $300.

its true thatit doesnt weigh a 100lbs but its not a tri-fold either.

read the page:
Loading a motorcycle with at least two people is always recommended for single runner ramps. These single ramps are not recommended for riding your motorcycle up because they are not wide enough to put your feet down when loading and unloading.

...juss called harbor freight, they have that one for $114 in stock. i'm gonna pick one up as soon as i get my truck running.:YEAH

yea but its 8ft....my truck is sittin on 37inch tires...last thing I wanna do is rip my header off with a lil 6ft ramp

Ill still be able to load it by myself i just wont be able to put my feet down...Ill just ride it up. Im gonna buy some extra staps to strap the ramp to my truck so it doesnt slip off the tailgate and i should be fine.

Re: what kind of ramp should i buy?

if you go to home depot you can get a long *** 2"x6" board and then just buy the metal lip to make your own ramp. the metal lips are like 30 bucks for a package of 2 and then the board is i forget

if you can't balance for the 8 feet it takes to get up a ramp, you should quit stunt riding..
