Ride it on. Have engine running when backing it out and ride the front brake. Be ready for anything.
I have mine shut off and in gear when backing out. Hand on front brake, and use it to hold about 50% of the bike; my front tire will slide on the trailer floor (but not the door). I then drag the clutch until the front tire gets on the grippy door lining and then the front holds a majority of the weight the rest of the way out.

I use that same technique and I ride it in to load it.
