Default truck ramps

anyone have any suggestions for a nice ramp to load a bike into the back of a truck? Ive sene some nice ones, but they are permently attached to the back of the truck. Looks like you're an old fucker with a carrying arm for his mobility chair.

wider is better, but i would like something that folds up and out of the way unlike this:

Motorcycle Bike Ramp Systems At Discount Ramps.com

I want to fit 2 bikes in the back of a s10, so i wont have much room to put a ramp.

I have used the folding aluminum ones for years.... no problems.
Light weight and easy to store.

^ +1 - Aluminum folding ramp for like $120 or so at Motorsports of Tampa. You can probably find one cheaper if you shop around a bit, but I was in a hurry when I got mine and they had it in stock.
