I just loaded up the motorcycle into the back of the S10 pickup.
It perfectly fits the 6 foot bed.

I am taking it to the Milwaukee Hybrid Group meeting Saturday morning. (I am working all tomorrow, then taking off to Chicago for the evening, so I needed to load up the cycle now)

I went for a spin around the block to make sure everything would stay where it is and check my handling and acceleration, etc.

Then back end of the truck is heavier. I can feel it pull a little bit on corners. Looks good otherwise.

I will report back after the meeting. There is supposed to be a TV crew there, so I should be able to hog some air-time.
