I like how you actually used an F150. :lol:

That diagram is what I get to do when (un)loading at home, and it definately makes things easier, but having a second hand is a big help.

And yes getting it off is a lot easier, IMO... The weight of the bike does the work, you just use the front brake to control the decent...

I don't recall seeing any high places like that at Pocono (for example) in the parking area, unless other tracks provide high spots for loading/unloading?
