An affordable home made ramp

[DutchMike]

I was looking for a ramp to load my D-tracker on our pick-up truck, could not find it in Thailand, and order one from abroad is rather costly.
The solution is to make one or have one made for you; I decided to do it myself.
A ladder, iron bars and some wood did the trick.
Not long ago I bought a Honda CB500x and together with my weight (85 kg) it is still strong enough, does not bend or crack.

I demonstrate the ramp on Youtube:

Nicely done though, FWIW good quality ramps are available here for small money-

That Looks a Great Deal Tony! Thanks.

Well, that is what I was looking for, for a while, before I decided to make one as I could not find it.
Great price too. Thanks for letting me know.
For me it is also essential that it fits in my pick-up together with the bike, I have a small pick-up truck.
This looks longer than my 'cut in 4' ladder.

Well, it looks like I created some business for them..

Nice one Mike.. I like you was looking for a ramp for a while.

They sell the ramp in Dirtshop and 320 SP.. Same one.

320 SP is cheaper by a few hundred baht.

They recently moved to Thonburi from Chinatown.

The ramp is pretty heavy for EMS

Thanks Brian, I'll have a look at their shop next time I am in town (I live near Chanthaburi). As a matter of fact, I do not need a ramp that often. Only if I want to change landscape and have little time for a tour I prefer to travel the first 1000 km or so by pick-up. For the time being, my home made ramp will do that job. Cheers, Mike
