If you can say every time you've loaded a bike it's been a success I'd like to come by next time you do it and take some notes. In my time riding, working, and sometimes crashing motorcycles I've had numerous opportunities to fudge up loading or unloading. Sometimes I have witnesses who get to view the spectacle, some have even been injured(which I felt terrible about) in the resulting whoopsy and I know I still have a scar on the side of my belly that happens to resemble a KTM footpeg of all things. I've been too weak in the legs to load a bike after a training ride and I've almost successfully pulled off an accidental back flip just missing a near perfect Kerry Strug olympic remake but with a well "antiqued" nissan pickup in the back drop. But one thing I haven't done is F'd up with a camera recording and that is success enough.
Enjoy...
P.s.
As for riding a motorcycle up a ramp into a truck you can count me out. I have witnessed one of my riding influences ride a full dresser harley up a tiny plank of a ramp into the back of an orange 4x4 dodge power wagon, no drama. I used to do that all to often until a person that had seen me do it tried to load a SV1000 into the back of a certain F250. He stalled the bike halfway up and from what was relayed to me he had a decent tumble. I haven't done it since.
