Default Bike ramp/trailer

Hey guys, I'm getting a bike Sunday, and I don't have a way to get it back from Lakeland (besides riding it, which I don't want to do), so I need a bike ramp to put it into a truck, or a trailer to tow it behind my friend's truck (preferred). I would be willing to give the lender a few bucks or something, or if you want to be a REALLY nice TR helper, lend it to me for free. LMK what you guys got, and any other ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated. TIA

You can rent a motorcycle trailer from U-Haul for like $15 bucks as long as you have something to pull it with.

swing by Lowes or Home Depot on your way to get the bike and pick up a pressure treated 2x12 thats at least 10ft long. Maybe get two, one for the bike and one for you to walk on. BAM, instant motorcycle ramp
Oh yeah, and congrats on the new bike

I've got both a folding ramp as well as a 8' 2x12 that will do the trick.
You can use either one if it will help you out.

Be sure to strap her down good also.

.... and I am in the New Tampa / Wesley Chapel area...
