Bikes in pickups

[Jack james]

Will police say anything about motorcycles in pickups that are to long and do not allow tailgate to close?

Hang a red rag on the most rearward extremity and all will be nice and legal.

Depends where you go we smile and pay 200 to nice man in uniform for tailgate down traveling on tollways.

...and make sure you have ALL the paperwork relating to ownership of the bikes.

In addition to all the above information, if any part of your bike is higher than your roofline, then you need to cover it, to avoid another excuse for a fine.

I guess it depends on who you are.............and if it is secured........................

Carry my 2 dirt bikes in the bed with the tail gate down, never had a issue,  double tie downs and a small length of chain in case the straps come loose. Been in many police check points and never had to pay any money

I seriously cannot believe this is anything more than a post designed to get people going one way or the other.... seriously is the op so inured to anything either here or anywhere where they may be from to have not seen anything in their lives..... trawl youtube and you will find all sorts of overhangs, overheights, overbizarre from anywhere in the world....  try New Zealand for instance a legal 4 metre overhang on a 2 axle truck... that's almost as much as what you see here ... the ones that amaze me are the hay truck and trailers they are a sight to behold...once up to about 3.5metres off the ground the sides sprout out almost a metre wider for another metre in height, or the pickups carrying light products like chips/crisps, spot the pickup beneath the closely stacked boxes moving down the road.

A red COVID mask will do the trick.

Here is classic example of using load parameters to best efficiency, tissue paper arriving at a supermarket distribution centre last week. Not weight overloaded and meeting height and width requirements.... tarpaulin very much necessary as imagine what a good rain would do to the weight ....
