Hmmm....good input, guys! Sounds like it's a matter of personal choice & physical ability...don't know that I could man-handle the bike on there myself. I saw some that have a manual lift built in, but I think they start at $500+. Kinda one of those things that seems a lot cooler & easier until you actually work with it!

Maybe I could sic one of my nephews on the project of building one for me. God knows there's enough scrap metal & parts at the farm to put one together. I knew I should've taken that welding class in college!

If there was a way to put the bike on the carrier & strap it down while it was on the ground...jack it up, something on wheels so you could maneuver the hitch into the receiver, but stable enough so the whole dang thing didn't tip over. Crap, I'm dreaming, huh? LOL Maybe I could just build my own loading dock while I'm at it.
