Loading your Rocket in a truck

[Bigfoot390]

Now I know that we are supposed to ride our bikes everywhere but there will be the odd time due to breakdowns or whatever that we have to transport our bikes in the back of a pickup.
Here is just one way to get it in there.

Anyone else ever do this and what was the procedure?

S**T, I would never have done that, too risky.
See how much that plank bent under the weight.
I would have used a trailer.

That is a perfect way to load a rocket, i would have used a 2x4 instead of a 2x10

they seemed to have it under control but I agree with you some thing a bit lower to ground ,not so far to fall and less damage ,got nervous just watching it

The truck was too high and the bike high centered, at least they didn't try to ride it up there!

That one had me nervous until they got it in there. I have seen too many boards fail under a lot less weight than a Rocket!

The term bend but don't break,comes to mind. I need a house made of that wood.

Well Mexican I will bring a 2x4 and you can help me unload in Maggie Valley!
