They didnt give us a built in tailgate ramp, the least they could do now is give us “load mode” to load up the bikes. Anyone get their sportbikes loaded with tailgate closed yet? I’m itching to know if it will fit, my tape measure says maybe.

Nice bike, obviously. Can’t wipe the drool from my chin. Duck would dream bike if 30 years younger.

No reason age should stop you! I didn't learn how to ride until I was 45.

Agree. A good friend of mine (who’s much older) retired to start riding on the track. He was doing 30 track days a year, and was constantly trying to improve his lap times.

I did a test load and going to modify my wheel chock to act as a brace against the cab panel. It is very close and the overhang / sloped angle of the bed impossible to do the diagonal / closed tailgate approach. Womp womp!

Looks like we need a Cybertruck moto thread!

How do you like the Moto D ramp? Looks like it’s the right length and angle to be able to load a sport bike without hitting the belly on the tailgate.

I have their tire warmers (and they’re great).

Definitely agree

I love it, it is lightweight, good length, although it’s not very wide I always try to load up where I can use a slope to decrease the angle and take it slow. I had no problem rolling it in and out without the bike running. It also comes with a tiedown for the hitch. MotoD makes good stuff from my experience.

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.

I transported my Harley LiveWire by taking the bumper off, and placing it diagnally across the truck bed to allow the tailgate to close. I used ratchet straps and compressed the suspension on the bike. To drive it into the bed Input the truck on the street curb and the ramp on the sidewalk. Fun times!

looks good! Did you squat the rear to help load it in addition to the sidewalk height bump?

I probably should have! It was a little steeper than desirable. But I left it in entry-level mode and drove up the ramp!
