Ramp.....
Aluminum. ;)
My grandparents bought me one of these when I was a kid with my first motocross bike. The curve (mine is curved much more sharply, however) is designed to facilitate low Hogs, and the staunchness of the materials used assures that a 10lb 8ft aluminum ladder will hold up to the weight of a big fat Harley laying on it. :)
Mine is slightly different in that it has four fingers at the top and has some half-round roughly 3/8" horizontal straked alu bars for traction with four main 1/4" thick square stock sticks, and some 1/4" thick square stock "rungs" like as seen above, but sunk down a bit (because the 3/8" half-round traction bars are flush with the top and the rest is sunk down about 1/4") and spaced about one every 3 feet.
Was only 100 bucks, but that was in the late 90's, so probably 200 bucks now. I currently use it for a shelf in the attic, as I don't have any bikes back home that need hauling, and my mini-truck is low enough to not need ramps (and you all think lowering trucks is foolish ;))....
OH! I almost forgot! It has about 3-4ft of 1/4" steel cable looped around the top end with an S-hook on the other end; it's designed to hook somewhere in your bed and provide security so the beesh don't slip out from under you while you ride up it. :)
