I mentioned to Chip Foose about creating a motorcycle ramp, using a 12" wide down the center of the bed floor metal, using the indent of the license plate. Slide it out and run my bike into the bed.

We don't have much room on the property to store an extra truck for projects.... The land here is leased by the inch!!
CHIP FOOSE! He's like my inspiration for this project. for about a week strait me and my boys would watch overhaulin just dreamin as we watched!

It's great having 3 acres out here in Missouri. Can't imagine being so close to neighbors that I'd have to be quiet after dark
