    Save ya money, buy a decent fold up 2m alloy ramp with hooks for bumper or pin it and practice loading the bike (with someone spottin for ya)

    It will lower itself with a load on, without taking away from the shit suspension it already has !

    If i can load a 300 odd kg HD into my hiace alone, you will manage the Hyo !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !
