Morons Failing to Load Their Bikes



To be fair, loading/unloading a bike is a lot more difficult than it first seems, as anyone who's ever done it can attest. *raises hand* The preferred method for truck bed loading is the four-man lift, assuming your three friends (and you) are real men rather than pencil-armed geeks. (Also assuming it's a not a Gold Wing or some other obscenely heavy monstrosity.) If you have to use ramps, you're better off with a low-boy trailer than trying to get it into a truck bed, unless you have the convex ramps specifically designed for high-loading bikes. Even then it's a hairy experience, since you have to go fast and then brake hard before you hit the front of the bed. If you slow down on a motorcycle your instinct is to put your feet down, and then... well, what happened to those people in the video. Some of the drops were cringe-worthy. That plastic and chrome ain't cheap.

As for the four-wheelers... I hate the damned things, as well as most of the people I've encountered who ride them. I rather enjoyed watching those idiots attempt to kill themselves.
