where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

You would think eh.

Pffft, the solution is as easy as!
Just put a message out on KB saying you need a hand and will trade sexual favour - in no time flat you will have so many helpers you will be beating them off with both hands!

Ahhhh that sounds an offer of your help and Manfield on the 19th. See you therewell i belive that the best way is what frosty said as this is the way that i have always used an belive that you can have much more control of the bike but most of all take your time an make sure you feel safe doing this on your own cause once you get to the track there will be lots of guys willing to help a lady in need with what ever she wants

Double shot!!
Yeah you wanna be real careful doing that.
PB, I think you are biting off more than you can chew here. Maybe your boots really ARE this big, and kudos if they are, but I wouldn't try that without some assistance.

Double check that the trailing hitch is securely fastened to the towing vehicle before you try to move anything onto or off the trailer.

If this was a skinny lightly built guy asking would you still say this?
There is no reason why she shouldn't be able to do this solo safly, but have a helper there while you get it right (i did the first few times).
Forum whore
and it will be worthwhile to figure out a system to ensure the ramp
a) has and angle cut on the end to minimize the "bump up"
b) has a system(to hook on the trailer) to ensure it DOESNT get spat out by the rear wheel
Po ta toes
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(had to make up the 10chr)
Double shot!!
Fucked if I know. I have no idea if anyone is skinny or otherwise - how would I? In fact, I have re-read your question a few times and I have no idea what you are asking or getting at.
Re-phrasing, just for you - "Riding the bike up the plank onto the trailer is a brave thing to do." I have never done it, and I wouldn't recommend it to ANY person who asked if they should try it without a helper.
HTH

You referred to poster 1and said it was out of their league, i then asked if poster 1 was the opposite gender would you still say that.
Clear?
could catch a monkey
Both hands?? That's pretty inpressive.
She might get the bike on the trailer, but have no energy to grip the throttle when she gets there.
Double shot!!
Crystal. Whats fucking gender got to do with anything?

I'ma get medieval on your ass!
Put bikes on trailers many times, did it yesterday with my BMW. I always ride up but if you aren't confident then walking it slipping the clutch works - you really need a second ramp to walk up in that case. That's the answer for you.
I use a 2.1m length of 150x50 plank which just fits inside the trailer deck for transport afterwards. The ends are bevelled - cut at angles to reduce the bump going on and off. At one end I bolted an old steel strap which has been bent to catch onto the trailer door when it is hanging down. That way the ramp can't slip off.
Got two of these for the lawntractor but only need one for bikes.
You can buy beautiful aluminium ramps but my system works for me. They tend to be a bit short too ie. 1.8m so the climb is steeper and harder.
