Yeah, I experienced that when I was being moved down here to FL... I got the Buell about halfway up the ramp and it started to go over a bit, but I had the presence of mind to goose it instead of trying to catch it... The moving truck guys were impressed... ended up skidding to a stop, cock eyed in the front of the truck with both wheels locked up.

Rule #1 - don't load your bike like that

Rule #2 - if you ignored #1, don't video tape it

Rule #3 - If you're going to panic, panic on the gas and don't bother putting your feet down

Rule #4 - as long as you make it inside the truck, your jackass friend video taping won't be able to YouTube the crash

I used bike power all the time, but I walked next to the bike up a secondary ramp.

I always use bike power to push itself into the truck, I never push it, but like you I always have a 2nd ramp and walk next to it.

I was always afraid to do that, but I have a HF trailer that sits prety low so pushing th ebike up is prety easy and usualy do it by myself.

With all those people around it would have been easy to push the bike up that ramp.

Also, he would have made it fine if he didnt bitch out halfway up.

yes but that would have required them getting up and putting their beers down to help LOL

"Y'all are gonna catch me, (and my 750lb bike) right?" I knew it was ending bad right there.

Loaded lots of bike in pickup trucks by riding them up but used a wide ATV ramp, just have to watch where you put your feet (Ebbs ).

That was hard to watch because you knew what was going to happen

Anyone else notice him adjusting the choke/enricher? Cold motor + unsure operator = gravity check

Wonder how many thousands it cost to fix?

It's called insurance. It allows stupid people to continue on.

Exactly.

What we have here, is a commitment failure.
