Problem loading motorcycle

I'm not quite sure what "unleavened" ground is :) but that's why I bought a couple of scissor jacks from Harbor Freight to put under the ramp. That means it's always supported and not twisted.

You never get on unleavened ground, I wont ride my bike up the ramp if both corners and the center are not touching the ground. In time I believe the ramp will get tweaked.

Yes that can and will happen, our ramp on our hauler was bent out of shape because teenagers drove quads up an unlevel and non blocked ramp, it tweaked the ramp bad, and i still deal with that today there is no way to fix it once it happens and it was Bad, very Bad.

Ramp dosent close or seal well, its even hard to open. I have tried everything i can think of to fix it, nothing works.

Teenagers never use our hauler again.....

I use a 2x6 board that stretch across the 3 rubber bumpers and a block 2x4 wedge at the bottom 2x6 to keep the garage door flat if uneven. Also I ordered a nice 6 ft aluminum folding ramp that has the adjustable straps that hook to the garage hinges and extends down t past the ramp about 3 ft, I unload my Harley in about 5 minutes with the bike running and in first gear using the clutch to hold the bike .

Just loaded mine yesterday. A 2x6 have enough room. It might have even worked without it., but didn't want to try. It was a lot resort than I thought.

This works for me. if it is too steep at the bottom, a 2X6 board will help by preventing the pipes hitting the ground. At the top, place a piece of 2X4 at the seam and it will prevent the engine area from hitting the ramp.

Just raise the front of your rig, that solves the problem. Then lower it back down once your done.
