dont do it.
with a ramp........firebladetoronto : It is very tricky trying to load the two bikes. They fit width wise, but it is a pain trying to strap them down. And with the closeness to the tie down hooks, the canon dancer sucks. I actually don't want to use those anymore. Does anyone have a suggestion regarding straps and tie down positioning?
Thanks in advance...

I'm with you on this one the bikes will be to close for comfortfigment : dont do it.
I am trying to stay away from that...when I am on the road, it is a pain to have to pull that stuff around. Plus I don't have a hitch on the truck yet.Pete : Rent a cheap utility trailer.

No, don't get me wrong, I would love to buy a nice enclosed trailer, but I don't have the budget for that now. I don't normally carry two bikes, but do sometimes. I just want a cheap way to get this done now, and later on, buy a trailer and stuff.Pete : Sorry, but I am with those who have said it's 'too close for comfort.' The only way I'd strap two bikes next to each other in a 5' wide bed is using two Baxley wheel chocks bolted to the bed floor.
I guess I am just too accustomed to pulling trailers (short and long) to understand how towing a 6x8 trailer is bothersome. And getting your truck equipped with a suitable hitch is a piece of inexpensive cake.

FBT, I wasn't suggesting *buying* a trailer, just renting one for your trip (and I didn't realize that it was an overnight stay, so I can understand a cost issue).firebladetoronto :
It is actually a one month stay, and I will be getting a trailer next year, but as I mentioned, this is just for the time being...get a couple of straps and add a tie down to the truck.Pete : FBT, I wasn't suggesting *buying* a trailer, just renting one for your trip (and I didn't realize that it was an overnight stay, so I can understand a cost issue).
