White knuckles the first time, not so bad after that. I jack the tongue up as far as it will go, that lowers the angle of the ramp so the bike doesn't bottom out. I got an 8' 2x6 and cut it in half. I put a 4' section on each side from the ramp to the ground so I can put my feet on something stable when going in and out before both wheels are on the ramp.. One tip I learned on a HD forum was to use the friction zone of the clutch to slow the bike down instead of just the brakes. I tried it with the bike off with a little front brake when backing it out and it worked great. I've done it a few time with my Limited, and it gets easier and less stressful.
