Is it safe to load a big touring motorcycle into a TH??

We have a full-size HD touring bike...the thing weighs just over 900 lbs, and it a little over eight feet long...thinking...THINKING... about moving to a toy hauler so we can take the bike on weekends...

When it comes time to back your bike out and down the ramp, leave the engine off and put the trans in First Gear. This way you can use the Clutch as a back break while going down the ramp.
I totally agree with using the clutch instead of the brakes. However, I totally DISAGREE with leaving the engine off. If you do that, you run the risk of turning the engine backwards which could seriously hurt things.
