Putting a dirt bike in a truck bed without a ramp is not an impossible task but it does require some knowledge and effort to get the job done. The most important thing to remember is safety, as it is easy to get injured if the bike isn’t properly secured in the truck bed.
The first step is to make sure the truck bed is large enough for the dirt bike. The bike should be able to fit lengthwise and have at least 8-10 inches of extra room on either side. If necessary, use ramps or boards to level out any inclines or depressions in the truck bed.
Next, remove any loose items from the truck bed, such as tools or debris, as these can be dangerous when loading and unloading a dirt bike. It’s also important that you tie down any loose panels or covers on the truck bed before attempting to load the dirt bike.
When you are ready to load your dirt bike, use two people if possible. One person should stand behind the dirt bike while the other lifts it up into the truck bed. Make sure that the person lifting does not overextend themselves and take care not to damage either themselves or the dirt bike during this process.
Once inside, secure your dirt bike using straps or bungee cords. These should be attached securely around both sides of your dirt bike, preferably around both its frame and its wheels. Make sure that you don’t overtighten them, as this can cause damage to your vehicle and/or your dirt bike.
Finally, check all of your straps before driving away from wherever you loaded your motorcycle up from. This will ensure that everything is secure and will prevent any accidents or injuries while driving with your motorcycle in tow.
Conclusion: Putting a dirtbike in a truck bed without a ramp takes some knowledge and effort but it can be done safely by following these steps. First make sure there’s enough room for it in the truck bed by removing all debris and leveling out any irregularities with ramps or boards before lifting it into place with two people if possible. Secure it with straps before taking off on your adventure.
