I woulda walked it right up to the end of that ramp & kept feet down & walked it right on up. I guess he didnt want to risk damage to the clutch, so he went for crashing instead,, good call, wadda maroon.

He could have winched it up slowly and securely for $15.

I counted at lest 8 big guys standing around that could've easily walked it up the ramp, and into the truck. Guess they we bored and needed a laugh.

At 5'5" one of my jobs at the Harley dealer in Tampa was to pick up stranded bikes, including Police FLH bikes. I was expected to "Ride" the bike up a ramp and into the back of the pickup truck. I couldn't touch the ground with either foot on a flat surface.
No! I wasn't that stupid.
One trick that worked pretty well was for the cop on site to stop traffic and 'solicited' the help of three or four citizens to push it into the truck. A badge is a wonderful thing!

I hope his insurance agent sees this & adds an annual surcharge for being an idiot.

Trying is the first step towards failure.

Speaking of badges, that reminds me of the Super Bowl Ring commercials on TV.  ;D Maybe a ring would have helped.
