HELP!!! We have an F350 with a 6 foot bed and we want to take our Harley with us camping as well as tow our travel trailer behind us. There is not enough room to turn with the bike in the bed of the truck and tailgate down. 2 questions, is there a way to take the tailgate off and still put the bike in the bed? It hangs over a bit. Also, how to get the bike into the bed of the truck, it is pretty high off the ground. I have been searching for a while to no avail. If anyone can help I woulf be forever appreciative!! Thanks!!

Bike into the bed first idea would be a ramp and ride/push it up. Or find a little bit of a ditch or hill or something and back the truck up to it so there isn't as much of an angle to get it into the bed. Now tie downs I've seen bikes strapped tons of ways usually 2 around the handle bars and 1 through the rear tire. But some of the other guys on here might have better idea's on tie downs.
