Racer X Tested: Bike Loading Tips

[@devodar2579]

That's doing it right! Good show guys. Made me want to get to the track, too. Nice seeing people doing things the right way. Very nice! Great bikes too.

[@CarsnStuff]

Personally we just load the middle bike in backwards and it fits in just like a puzzle piece. Is a bit awkward rolling it up into the truck backwards.. but its not that bad with two people.

[@rbljackson]

another tip is to use pool noodles cut down over your pegs. prevents the damage. works great.

[@7J1R3H]

I ride with a guy who bought a 1994 ambulance with 54000 miles from an airport. It has lights in it, tons of room, holds like 4-5 bikes. Best rig ever.

[@ryanhayes9008]

I usually put my tie downs around the bottom triple clamp instead of the handlebars

[@shallnotbeinfringed5916]

I just back the middle bike in. Works good for me.

[@jreeves884]

Great video. PLo and Dano are top notch guys in this industry. Believe it or not there are novice guys out there looking for How To videos like this and use them. Good job guys, see you soon!

[@drstrange2292]

I have work pads for the when I work under a car between the bikes, made out of a thick foam so it doesnt cause any scratches or damage.

[@issabean3009]

this man is a wizard I've been trying to get three bikes in a truck for weeks getting ready for a big dune trip soon

[@rileymedina544]

If your pegs move up you could tie them or zip tie them up

[@rawritjon]

haha "dirt biking is fun" couldn't agree more!

[@tamadrum10]

If someone wanted to steal your bike out of your truck. They would just cut the straps if you had those strap locks. They're not really gonna do to much

[@MLGtroll365]

Exactly what i was thinking i heard a lot of bikes get stolen off the back of trucks at that moto shop in Cali

[@silicontoad7186]

noah jester Pretty sure they would only been using them during the day and close by, at least that's all I would use them for.

[@mattr7118]

noah jester most locks are theft deterrents not exactly a theft protection. They're only good for the grab and go type of thief.

[@brentmack51]

Is why I run a chain from one side of ram bed to the other through the wheels

[@brentmack51]

With innertube around the chain

[@darrensweet48]

you also have the back seat of the truck depending if you have spectators/mechanics rolling with you. if it just the three bros you can put a gear bag in the bag middle seat and then have room for another gas can.

[@mattbrotherton7672]

Yeah but I don't think your going to want gas in your truck.. I like to put bags in the cab just so if it rains they don't get wet... Also a lot of people said this but put smaller bikes in the middle! Like if its a father and son or something along those lines.

[@64maxpower]

Loading 3 bikes is just something you did. I never really thought about it before.

[@dicentrarcuslabrax]

in italy the pickup is not so wide,but i put 3 bikes on a mitsubishi l200 in this one i can surely put 4 bikes! :-)greatings from italy!

[@drunk_cat9975]

skills

[@tmk5522]

my short bed wont let you step a bike out with a tool box, turn the bars on the outside so the wheel is in the corners of the bed, the third bike goes straight up the middle and the gear and tool go where ever they can fit lol.

[@colbytodd9794]

i put a couple extra tie down hooks on my snowmobile trailer i can fit 3 bikes with tons of room to spare, then just throw the gear, gas, pop up tent, cooler, tools, ect.. into the bed with my tonneau cover to keep it all dry =)

[@carsonessman7409]

Lock straps are Thick metal wire inside

[@dbkaynewinchester9196]

hey dudes thanks for the tips it helped alot i just got a truck and me my dad and brother all went riding in my truck and i watched this and tried it and it works so good so thanks alot. nice bikes and good video

[@damonbeauprez]

so in europe we ride mercedes sprinters no pick up truck's...

[@ethanjohnson9166]

They are not that common and overpriced here, you can get a 2500/3500 truck for much cheaper and tow much more if you want to bring a camper for a longer trip. But whatever works for you man

[@ninjamice3464]

Where I'm at, 90% of the people have a pickup truck. And they do come in very handy.

[@crlad42]

i have a 125 an 85 and a 65 and we made a a stand out of wood that you can roll the bikes into, throw one strap over them all and they dont move at all its alot quicker and effective than that

[@danielnapast4955]

crlad42 Don't leave the safety of your investment up to a single strap. I always use 2 per bike or sometimes more if I'm driving further. You can never be too safe.

[@snowNdirtproductions]

In a long bed u can load a bike backwards in the middle shut the tailgate and tie her up

[@cyclingbikerwholovestotinker]

Guys, buy a van and save all the hassle and time for riding!!

[@dannyk105]

Some really good suggestions here. Curious what you weigh all loaded up? I want to haul 3 bikes in the bed. I do the math and 3 bikes, riders and gear maxes a 1/2 ton payload. Around 7000lbs GVWR with roughly 3900lbs on front axle and same on the rear axle. The one silver lining to 3 bikes with 3 riders is the payload is distributed evenly across the frame. About 1000 in the bed and around 700 in the passenger area. I suspect you are close to max GVWR but under the limit at the axles.

[@HaydenS1996]

What are the orange lens shades that dude is wearing?

[@jondoe4667]

I'm always the guy telling everybody to bring a stand because it's inevitable that at some point I'll come back for a break and find somebody's bike on my stand, or leaning against my truck. Either one will make me a little salty when they could have just brought their stand.

[@norcal8718]

You guys ever put the third bike in backwards so the bars clear the other two bikes?

[@rdkline250]

No Ramp and only 2 gas cans...would it be easy to put the middle bike in backwards to have more room.

[@Alitotheg]

Just got a truck today...such good ideas!

[@maxjohnson6701]

I put my 3rd bike in backwards then there is no need to offset the 3rd bike I find it way easier and convenient especially on the unload just ride it right out

[@vaggelistrelaras8571]

We load right and left bike look front and the middle look back!!sorry for my english

[@robertprunier9152]

I'm going to try for 4 big bikes in Mr ranger this weekend with a will there is away

[@collingabriel222]

I put 2 in the bed, turn the backs sideways, shut the tailgate and put the 3rd on a carrier on the hitch.

[@matteoderose819]

If you can't fit everything, gas cans, stands, gear bags ect... you could just put it in the back seat and not squish everything

[@SlammedBeretta]

Ghost Effects The bags keep the bikes from squishing into each other too, Something to think about!

[@clintburt9821]

i don't like the cam straps i like the ratcheting ones they always stay tight

[@Avelinoferr]

what is the truck?

[@Jimmy-hb6pf]

The middle bike should be backwards people (hint)

[@brandinb1649]

i agree

[@waynebell8179]

Games For DAYS no it is better that way because the bike won't jump everywhere

[@northstarracing18d-4d]

Goodluck rolling it up that ramp backwards

[@DoctorRickSanchez]

Dom956 He'll they had over 4 guys but true this method is really for a diy.

[@ashtonmazzucco9956]

Put the 2 bike on the side and then put the 3 bike in backwards

[@javionfields5841]

what the fuck

[@jondoe4667]

I like to keep my bikes looking nice so it makes me crazy when I see some of my buddies laying their bikes on each other

[@CameronBrenholen]

We get 3 bikes in the back of a chevy avalanche and pull a trailer but its tight and our gear bags need to go in the trailer

[@HybridEdits]

Good tips. But luckily I have a trailer that I cram everything in.

[@mgchevelle68]

we have to do 4 bikes occasionally, thats a bit of a pain in the ass.

[@wadeoliver3144]

Ok I'm only 14 but even me and my mates know to put the third bike in backwards

[@silicontoad7186]

Wade Oliver You can do that, but isn't as easy as pushing it right in. I'll shove my kids little 80 in backwards when we load all 3 bikes, 2 x 250's on the outside. This was a good video, makes me want to think a little harder about loading my truck next time.

[@NBMotocross3]

You would have more room, but how would you get the bike in backwards? That sounds like hell

[@brentmack51]

Very easy put drive chain on backwards and ride it up beep beep beep beep

[@SketchyKirby]

Why didn't the 2 stroke just go on the far right??

[@dookie1653]

is it illegal to drive a truck with the tailgate down?

[@danielnapast4955]

doo kie No, what made you think that?

[@brentmack51]

Not if load is secure chobe

[@bigbubbafox1624]

you guys are loading gurus and I love the video it had multiple tips so thanks for that and always ride hard

[@SlammedBeretta]

You could remove the foot peg and not have to worry about the water pump, Or take a pool noodle and cut a piece off and stuff it onto the foot peg!

[@vPurii]

What car is that

[@timjanda13]

I load the middle bike backwards i have a long bed and its really easy and no problem

[@norcal8718]

Not really recommended but if random situation comes up and it comes down to leaving a bike behind l it looks like there's enough space there to throw a fourth bike in the bed 🤔

[@stephenchristian5739]

so funny watch'n moto x guys load their shit, it's all so light, everything! 15 years now sport bike'n & canyon & track days nothing like it, even got an 'Air Tow' trailer now but still only 2 bikes 3 is just to difficult but for us sport bike guys, but a really important tip>> (stagger the chock 1 a little more forward then the other so the handle bars are not even across form each other, this also helps with moto x bikes . I'm buying the gate today for the back of my AT trailer. & since there is always something here's mine>> I would like the gate thicker 'wider' or higher if that's more clear, u must b careful that things don't slide underneath or blow out the top so 4 me (more gate) would be nice

[@bigmanracing300]

We normally load middle bike backwards.

[@aldenchambers9386]

Simplest solution is is don't have a little bitch truck. They have 8 ft beds for a reason

[@MrGlennz0r]

5:53 lol

[@SkateGroupCo]

we have to do 2 bikes facing forward and one backwards other wise nothing else will fit in the back of our ute :L

[@OLLY605]

I'd be more worried about the header than the water pump on the smoker!

[@friedtaco]

I’m gonna attempt to put 2 full size bikes then 2 superminis, and a 50

[@spenceravery66]

am i the only one who nodiced they didnt tighten the bikes lol???

[@michaelprata8135]

am I the only one who would of rode all three bikes up the ramp lol???

[@47films60]

Whats in the bags?

[@vanderfieldmc]

+PjMoto I think theyir gear. Helmets, jerseys, padding, chest protectors, boots, and so on. Like a hockey bag

[@brentmack51]

2 midgets and a Mexican?

[@superkenjawe]

wow you think 3 bikes is risky in that giant ute?

[@treybo333]

6.5 ft bed or 5.5 ft bed on that Ford?

[@NorthSwing]

+Donald Boshers III 5.5

[@brianbaltimore8296]

Great vid. Thanks guys

[@kawkid1]

awesome dirt bikes!

[@motomanjf]

Why do all 3 of these guys need huge gear bags?! I could live off stuff in that bag! But good video!

[@brentmack51]

Thinking same. How much room do you need for helmet chest rig knee pads and stylish pants n shirt. All my shit fits in a regular duffel ad 2 shirts n boots for mud moto

[@iforgothisname2564]

This one British guy on youtube said truck nets are RICE.

[@InfallibleWeatherman]

Is this Chris angels cousin

[@davem145mxr]

I preferred my box trailer method

[@fithriyanwongso5679]

what I do is........I put the two bikes facing to the front and the middle one facing to the back

[@TrillasAdventures]

They didnt put the loading ramp in

[@MLGtroll365]

7:11 dude.. Pay attention lol

[@lukematt2338]

A trailer would be much simpler

[@rileyjames9922]

well not everybody has a fucking trailer

[@SamaAbdo-y1v]

❤❤

[@xxtaco1spartanxx]

Having an 8 foot flatbed on your truck helps to.

[@craigsharfenberg4820]

its not too bad putting a bike in backwards with ramps, its just a little weird. but without ramps screw that

[@abouttogetlit5120]

Locks straps lol. Did you not think about them just cutting the strap?🤦‍♂️

[@codyburnsred]

This would suck to do all this after riding when you're all hot and tired. Lol.

[@scraggsds]

Get a van. Problem solved.

[@zxelement5517]

Vans are for pussies

[@Shaneyaboy]

The BBQ Jerk CycleCruza

[@DoctorRickSanchez]

David Scraggs 😂😂😂 Thank God they made dumbasses like you to make others laugh.. "Get A van"😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@FoursquareT]

I can get 5 bikes in the back of my Cummins trick is to have two bikes backwards

[@badgerhoneys918_5]

Can't you just cut the strap on the lock strap?

[@cheah7519]

It has wire in it

[@kippnovak3740]

Wire cutters ...

[@Bjones126]

really enjoyed the video thanks

[@WADZUP]

Just stay far away from the Risk Racings Lock N Load System!

[@SuperBartledoo]

Why? I just bought one

[@AustinLeeckRacing]

Scraping the bottom of the barrel?

[@brandinb1649]

3 bikes = 3 guys right???? why not utilize more of the left over space in the cab of the truck?????? there is obviously a ton of room left in there

[@ThePabZ1]

that fuckes the tailgate of your truck up from rock chips

[@jaretboston9396]

Then take your tailgate off!

[@davidalbert7318]

I have that same msr bag

[@brianmurphy3591]

I think the KTM is the best bike there😀😀😀

[@AntiqueMeme]

Because it is.

[@marlattreptiles2564]

+XPWNZERX the Honda is

[@AntiqueMeme]

Marlatt Reptiles LOLOK

[@marlattreptiles2564]

No KTM is a load of shit all their mounts snap and shit their junk Honda makes the best built bikes there are

[@AntiqueMeme]

Marlatt Reptiles What are you talking about? My 2002 EXC 400 is still in pristine condition. Ive only cleaned out the carb, changed oils and changed the fork seals

[@brandonhoward944]

I pull mager on my 4 stroke

[@elgallo512]

LOL 2 SMOKER?! DUDE THATS FUNNY THAT GUT WITH THE RM 250 WAS LIKE THE 2 SMOKER IS SO THE LIGHTEST BIKE SO IT GOES IN THE MIDDLE. dude i was rolf irl and it was so funny 2 smoker?! LOL

[@MountainBiky]

Really running outa videos now

[@nolarocks]

Turn the center bike backwards

[@SuzukiKid400]

Good video. Thanks.

[@traciedavis9611]

I love your video

[@raynicee]

middle bike should go in backwards.

[@dicentrarcuslabrax]

i hope for you that the track is not so far.... :-)

[@Motoxryder247]

Audio going in and out

[@JP4MX65]

Blimey they'll be teaching people how to put they're socks on soon ;L

[@ryzebol765]

3 dirt bikes, one ford ranger.

[@petercsernak9102]

@7.10 they put the ramp on

[@bighoss6265]

Just watched this.. Why..

[@air_blast_radius]

disrespecting deft family?

[@SkillzImakegoodcontentlol]

?

[@tylerhenderson9742]

That's y u get a trailer

[@SlammedBeretta]

Why? Then you gotta have room to store the trailer when not in use, and you have registration fees and all that other shit. Trailers are ideal for people who do not have trucks.

[@DoctorRickSanchez]

ThrustWasher "Trailers are ideal for people who do not have trucks" One of the dumbest things I've ever read. Plenty of pickups tow trailers you goof.
