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?

Well, sorry I was dumb. Thought we might be able to help. I didn't know you had a bike 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.

: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...
