Hubby has an 8ft. bed. Do you think we could get it up into the truck? :shrug:

Sounds like a flat bed trailer would be a bit lower to the ground and easier to work with. Wouldn't a horsey trailer do the job?

Also It would still cost you but I believe Lowe's had a flat bed dump body style truck they rent out. Used to anyway. Should be cheaper than a Tow bill though.

Flat rate on a with roll back gonna cost at least $60. That's pretty much minimum from when I was driving earlier this year. If the bike can be lifted and set on a dolley some kind of way then it could be rolled into the back of a trailer with ramp gate.

Can it be loaded on a regular trailer that a normal person loads a bike on to? Is it "pushable" to get up on a trailer?

I believe she was saying :dur: to herself.

If Bill's friends won't help, the ex has a pull behind trailer...probably 6 x 9 feet. It's not too far off the ground. Just let me know. I'm sure he'd let us borrow it.

My truck has no hitch and is too high to lift a bike into. But I got muscle if you need it.

:gossip: has a low trailer and has offered by PM but I think we need to pick it up and can't do that...HEAVY...

I have a bike trailer closed in but has to GO UP with a skinny aluminum type portable ramp...my horse trailer would only take it if it could stand..it has a ramp built on...I need to ask if it is pushable...I have a truck for either bike trailer or horse trailer..never thought of them just thought about crashed etc..laying on side...and flat bed roll back type...

If it is pushable...(I can not push it) and it was hard for Bill and I to get it up with him in the shape he was..but his friend could push it up easily...we have the strap downs and all for it in the trailer and it could just live in there till (or if) Bill gets home and wants to deal with it..I just know he would want to see it...

Do you have to use the ramp on the trailer? Can it be taken off? Use standard portable type ramps for loading wheeled gear (Lawnmowers) into a Pick Up truck. Slide a sheet of plywood under the bike. Use the comalong like that.

Sounds like you just need some muscle. We have a trailer, but we have to "ride the bikes" onto it. We couldn't push our bikes up on it, no way, no how.

Ours we push them up then it ties them in and stands them up..has some tie down type stuff..you know I never used any of this stuff...I only know how to work my horse trailer and my horses walk in...the bike trailer I can hook up and haul myself but do not know how to load and tie down...

Wide ramp or narrow? I am waiting for the deputy to call me back...I would love to just shove it in the trailer we have here and close the door and lock it and not have to worry about moving it etc...then deal with it later..then also I will NOT have to look at it ...bad enough I have to drive down that road where I saw him laying and see his body laying there every time I go that way..

I have a trailer and a come-along. Gonna be tied up for the next 10 days or so, but after that I can give you a hand if you haven't gotten it yet.

Paso,

I have an enclosed car trailer with a ramp rear door that a full size car will fit into... I can help if needed... just PM me if you need extra help or the trailer, or both.

I'll be happy to come and add what muscle I can.

Since the bike burned, odds are it won't roll. Pushing a bike with 2 flat tires is mighty tough.

Folks, a little idea if the bike did burn cheap skateboards work great for moving it. This is a way folks move/steal them in some areas.

I don't think it burned that bad. Gotta get the rear fender out of the way though.

Paso,

I have a trailer that can haul a bike, the gate lays almost flat on the ground, so it's easy to get things up it. I'm home all week from having surgery Friday so I can hook up the trailer and drive but we'd have to find muscle to get it up there. If I can help you out let me know.

Could be, I was just looking at the grass around it and it didn't look to me as if it even had time to spread out.

The tires might be ok and it MAY roll as long as the steering head isn't jammed. When my bud with the jet bike, burns other motorcycles for exhibition, the tires don't burn or burst. wierd.

Let me know if you need me to come down with a 6x12 flatbed utility trailer (single axle) with a drop gate. I am sure if another person can come and help load it we can get it right up the ramp... just let me know...

I have come along straps you can use with your trailer. or the motorcycle trailer. I have used the to load a dead car on the trailer before. it takes a little longer but they work.

Robin

You just hook them to the Angle Iron on the trailer or to your reece bumper hitch.

Paso, if you're getting it after 4:15 pm I can add some muscle. I also have an engine hoist (cherry picker) to get it off the ground if needed.

Quoted so Paso sees this (not that she has you on ignore), but I think this is a very important thing to bring!!!

No he wasn't mad about his car until he seen it (that is his baby and he is so fussy about his vehicals he drives me crazy) but he got the dent all out and you can't even tell it was there. I have horse shows Sat & Sun but maybe we will head out one evening on the bike and ride over if he is back in town by then. So glad to hear Bill is doing better...
