[header] How to transport a motorcycle [title] Park the truck and motorcycle on a firm, level surface. [step] Never attempt to load a motorcycle into a pickup truck on uneven ground, or soft ground that may give way as you move the motorcycle. Black top or concrete are the preferred surfaces to use when loading your bike into a pickup truck. 
[substeps] Never use pieces of wood on grass or dirt as a loading surface, as the wood may sink, break or slide. Do not attempt to load a motorcycle into a truck on an uneven surface to prevent falling over or dropping the motorcycle itself as you load it.
