Being a farm/ranch owner I tend to shop in some rather non-urban places - such as Tractor Supply. While there this weekend I ran across these and picked up a couple.



Loading Ramp; 44 x 11 x 4 inch Folded Size; 88 inch Length Extended Size; 500 lbs Capacity; Center Folding Type; Light Weight Aluminum Material; For Lawn Tractor and ATVs; With Adjustable Security Straps

Here's a link to them on their web site.

Total price was $70.35 each with tax. And get this, the EXACT same ramp is $150 EACH at Home Depot. That's more than the price of two at Tractor Supply.

Already tested them out for loading the dirt bikes and they work perfect. The weight rate on the ramps is 500 lbs, so they're great for the lighter MX bikes but a heavier street bike might have an issue. Should work fine for "most" track bikes though.

Also found a retractable ratcheting set of straps - that's right. I said RETRACTABLE! And man oh man are those things sweet. I absolutely HATE messing with the extra length on the ratcheting straps. Seems I always manage to bird nest the darn things. Not any more! These retract!
