I'd like to have something like this when I retire. Only thing I want to own is new 1 ton P/U Truck, the Biggest Travel Trailer I can find and Touring Bike. Another avenue would probably be a 5th Wheel Toy Hauler.

Ive got a 4 door colorado and a glide classic and a popup camper ?.... Im kinda screwed unless I can get the wife to pull the popup to out destination ..

YES YOU CAN. I have a Dodge half-ton shortbed (same as your's), and I've got an '08 SG that I've loaded in mine numerous times without a problem. As to getting both bikes in there, I seriously doubt it. You'd have an impossible time tying them down far enough apart to not damage any paint etc... You will have to leave your tailgate down, but the rear tire won't really rest on the tailgate, it sits right in the gap between the bed and tailgate, so 75% of the bike's weight sits on the bed, not the tailgate.

but I paid 300.00 for this ramp http://www.motorcycleramps.com/black_widow.htm a couple of years ago, and to me it's worth it's weight in gold. If you decide to get this, make sure it's the 9 footer so you don't bottom out.
