I'm with on the idea of "Nobody likes to buy fuel" !
Maybe , I should get a Hybird next time ... if I ever wear the Colorado out ?
I've had it for years now (its a 2017) and its only got 40K miles on it. It seems I ride a bike everywhere I go by myself especially in warm weather.
Imagine that ?
Hay , on putting your bike in the truck.
One thing to remember is that the Tail-Gate-cables are only rated for so many pounds ... you might want to set the lighter end of the bike on it and strap the bike in like it was going to brake the tail-gate-cables ? ... ?
There is nothing that says you can't replace those cables with solid beefier bars ? They come off with a clip set-up on most of the trucks I've seen .
Just an idea ? One of my brothers had a short-bed truck that had a rail/cage that flapped over to keep things from sliding out when the tail-gate was left down .
I've almost got myself talked into getting a Maverick too ! What color did you get ?
.......................
I just had an idea ... Yes , I know ... Marcia tells me to quit doing that !-?
Here goes ... Both of my bikes now have "Center-Stands"
When on the Center Stand neither tire has weight on it , so ... If you jacked your bike up from the middle (or slightly to one end) the all the weight would be on the jack ... not the wheels . You don't have to be concerned with weight on the Tail-gate !
I have a Harbor-Freight Motorcycle jack with a removable handle ... you could have one of them too ! It has screw down locks to keep it from rolling too.
Just an idea ?
