what's going on here I even got rid off my gas lawn mower when I switched to EVs?

Used a ramp and service mode to deflate (squat) rear suspension from Medium. Note the nose clearance! The rear straps pulling back are critical to prevent nose from maybe hitting CT on hard braking or bump.

From one Panigale owner to another- rent a UHaul trailer next time. So much easier and less risky

It's not a problem to load a 400 lb. motorcycle in the bed of a Cybertruck if you know what you're doing. And it's a whole lot easier than renting a trailer with an inferior suspension from U-haul. The suspension of the Cybertruck is a lot nicer.

I rented U-Haul trailers with my Model X! With the CT, I can fairly easily load it in the back. Gonna get a wider ramp now (17in vs 12) and straps with safety clips. After that, I should be good to go! I tested my loading over a bumpy road with speed bumps going around 30mph-no problem!

I haven't loaded my R6 in the bed yet, but will be for a Chuckwalla Trackday in April. I'm hopeful the diagonal method works - I used to be able to fit it in my F150 and close the tailgate. To unload may be a little more difficult with that overhang though.

I rode an R6 before I fell in love with a Ducati

They're in bankruptcy currently, but you can get an Energica if you need that liter bike flavor in an EV ^-^

There's also the Ultraviolette out of India and Ducati on the horizon. Neither of them are going away soon.

One of the things I’m excited about having a CT is not having to bring my generator for tire warmers…but that assumes I can get a spot where I can put the truck where I’m pitted.

You are a braver person than I am.

As for a wider ramp, so far, I've been eyeing either:
1. Titan Arched Ramp (17" wide)
2. Ready Ramp (only 14" wide)

I'm leaning towards the Titan.

There's another ramp that someone posted on these forums (I forget the name) that has steps built into it but their website says it's only for dirt bikes (not street bikes) so I'm guessing it doesn't have the bottom clearance.

Here's a good picture from an Amazon reviewer:

THIS is the one I ordered-10ft x 18in:

Did you screw the chock to the bed

Did you screw down the front wheel chock

I did NOT screw the front chalk to the bed in this load (and drive) test. However, I did drill holes to be able to strap it to the bed in the future!

Nice, looks to be almost the same as the Titan ramp. Let us know how it works!
