Re: aberdeen area , loan of bike ramp
try the scrap yards or roads department for a bit of armco barrier you can get them on ebay for £20 a length but pickup only possibly stronger than them folding ramps.

Use a ladder and a bit of ply wood to get the 1150GS into the van. Secure the ladder from slipping with bungee cords No need to buy anything for just the one use.

Re: aberdeen area , loan of bike ramp
Just be aware if you are using the engine to drive it up a ramp when the front wheel gets in the van the rear wheel will try to spit the ramp out from under the bike, I use a folding alloy ramp and screw the 3 prongs to the van floor (don't ask me how I know this!!!)
Should be no problems though if you are just pushing it up the ramp

Thats why the ramp I was going to send has a little strap to tie it to the back of the van.... perfic.
