Who takes a motorcycle with them
Anybody here carry a big bike in a cruiser lift or hydra lift? I'm thinking about getting one and would like to hear from those who have them. Pros and cons, which would you recommend, etc. I'm kinda ...

We are going to carry our R1200GS in the back of our Silverado 4X4 towed 4 down. I have a Big Boy2 ramp. I also have a removable wheel chock in the bed. Loading the bike is an exercise in skill. The ramp must be long enough or you will have approach and departure angle problems. The pick up bed must have traction, something other than slick paint for sure. The ramp must be approached with the right momentum and your feet may not be able touch down.
That all said the ramp is about ~$500 instead of $4500. The Chock was about $125. My bike weighs just a little over 500lbs.
Check to see what your bike manufacturer recommends for tie down points, mine specifically says the handlebars are verboten.
There are also dollies and trailers designed to carry bikes alone or with a vehicle. Lots of choices.
Good luck shopping.
