    I use 2x6 to load them in my van. You can get some scrap lumber at any big job site.

    I was lifting mine into my 4X4 trucks,I have a trailer now,it's a little boat trailer but it works, still have to lift, just not near as high! Working on ramps. The 200X is still lifted into the truck, then the BR and 185 go on the trailer. I have since added 1' plywood deck and moved the axle back about 1 1/2 ft or so....it works!

    We know exactly where one cow with mad cow disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America and Canada, but nobody has a clue where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Should the Department of Agriculture be put in charge of immigration??

    i bought a tri fold ramp at pep boys for 90 bucks.

    harbor frieght has one for 90 shipped to your door.

    i used to lift the 250r and 350x myself, but it was tough as hell at the end of the day after riding. The ramp makes it much easier. I am in the process of buying a 5x8 or 5x10 or 6x10 trailer in the near future to make it even easier to go riding, and so i can bring all 3 bikes aliong.
