    Ok, I got my bike from storage today and we made a makeshift ramp out of a 4' X 8' sheet of OSB and an extension ladder. Took 3 of us but we pushed the bike up in to a small sized truck. Now at my home location we have to figure out how to make a ramp here to get it out of the truck, which is no problem but the bike has to stay in the back of the truck overnight because it is not here and wont be here until tomorrow. (my buddy took his truck somewhere for the night, and we didnt have time to unload the bike before he had to go). Anyway the bike is on its left side in the back of the truck. Will it be ok like that overnight? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

    We use a Deep ditch to get bikes off of by backing the truck to the ditch or small hill.

    Or the three of you can sack up and lift it out. I know 2 guys can pick up a CB 750 so three guys lifting an XJ 400 shouldn't be a problem.
