Bad eyesight?

I ride 'em up if the ramp is secure and the underbelly is high enough not to scrape.

What a 1st class meathead! Even if the bike had made it up the ramp, what would have been his next brilliant move when the bars were 8 feet above his head, and he's left standing behind the truck? Morons can be quite entertaining. :lol:

Brings back a memory while in the desert after a race, one of my buddies on his 250 rides up the ramp into the bed of his truck, slams into the bed then deploys himself doing a handstand over the bars and landing partly on the roof and sliding down the windshield onto the hood. We still laugh about that today! :lol:

I won't go in to details, but I learned at a very young age that when riding a bike up a ramp into a closed van, you must duck when you get near the top of the ramp. (or wear a helmet)

OUCH! That sounds way worse than what this guy did. :lol:


That video looks like a setup to me.

1) As others have pointed out, the plan was absolutely impossible.

2) He had 4 people there, which would have made it easy to push the thing up there (if it's not currently running).

3) The other 2 people on camera don't make the slightest move to help or act as though they were surprised when the "fail" happens. They watch like they were intended only to be audience, and the extra guy only moves when he sees that his buddy needs help picking up the bike. They react like they knew it was coming.

4) Why else would they have been recording this at all and from exactly the perfect point to show their "Epic Fail Moment"?????

My thoughts exactly.

I'm just wondering who is the poor slob that owns the bike?

Did he just sell it, and was getting ready to deliver it?
