Re: [ST] Ramp suggestions wanted

[Thomas Emberson <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

I have a '99 Ranger, 4x4 off-road with 265/75/r16's, not quite
33's, but I'm within 1/2" or so. To get a bike up there I have no
problem but have to find appropriate landscape.

In my apartment complex some of the roadways have a decent arch to
them for drainage. And at the rally last year I used a rain gutter
by the office. All you do is just put the rear wheels in the lowest
point.

The biggest thing that I do, which some consider bad, is I ride
the bike up the ramp.  I just carry along 2 2x8's for my feet for
balance. So far the only time I've had an incident was when I was
trying to strap down the 9r last year. Unfortunately Bill took the
brunt of that one. Unfortunately I was rushing, and not used to
someone helping me. But the help was appreciated.
