[Ducati] Motorcycle ramp and tiedown stuff

[Bell, Matthew M Civ USAF AMC 305 CES/CEV]

I bought a telescoping plastic ramp a few years back and it has worked
well for me.  I found another one at:

or

The low price was one selling point, but I was also looking for a longer
ramp, as the bottom fairing on the fully faired superbikes tend to
high-center on the top of the ramp if the ramp is too short (or the
vehicle is too high).  The extra 12" on this ramp made a big difference,
and it is easier to store in the short position--it can fully fit in the
bed that way. I'd prefer a wider ramp to make the loading process easier
though.  The others have covered the bar strap/tie down discussion
pretty well.  Sorry about your loss though...
