Ryan_c_F Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Looking to go pick up my next ride this weekend, and need some way to transport. I'm going to rent a pickup truck from UHaul, but I have no way to get the bike into the back. Can anyone supply a ramp on Saturday morning/afternoon? I'd offer a sixer of your choosing as recompense.

zx3vfr Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Why not get a box truck for a few bucks more, they have pull out ramps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_c_F Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Why not get a box truck for a few bucks more, they have pull out ramps.That's probably a better idea, but I feel kind of silly going for a 14' box truck to move a 4' motorcycle... haha.

bark615 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have a ramp you can borrow if you can pick up tomm 2/20 between 8am - 4:30pm in Warrensville Hts. right off of 271/480. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhondas Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ryan,If you need a ramp, I have one that folds in half... 12" wide by 7 ft long. I am in South Euclid on Mayfield Rd near Warrensville Center Rd. I am i the shop from 10am till 4pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_c_F Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks guys! I think I'm just gonna take zx3's advice and get a box truck. Easier that way... Shoot, depending on the temp, I may just ride home tomorrow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 You might be able to ride, but I thought it was supposed to snow/sleet or something along those lines. Regardless, you can borrow my trailer in middleburg heights if you want. Depending on the time I might even be able to meet you over on the east side with it (cleveland heights/shaker heights area). You didn't mention renting a Uhaul trailer, so I doubt you have a hitch, but I thought I would throw it out there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YSR_Racer_99 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I thought "four foot motorcycle? Sounds like a Grom. Why not just lift it into the truck (or put it in the trunk of a Camry)?". Nice find. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting my first ride of the year in before a two-week cold snap was not the best idea... haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
