Holy crap fam, my beautiful 2013 Aprilia Shiver 750 was recovered by Lompoc (down near Santa Barbara) PD today!! It has a jimmy'd ignition and fuel tank cap but apart from that the officer says it looks like it's in great condition.

So now the "fun" part begins, getting my motorcycle back. I'm planning on driving a rental cargo van down tomorrow evening, spending the night in Lompoc and driving back up first thing tomorrow. I have to call Hertz tomorrow and double-check it has tie-down points to secure my baby but I think a ramp is absolutely the right way to go to load/unload my bike.

Does anyone in the South Bay have a loading ramp I could rent/borrow/buy from you tomorrow evening Tuesday Jan 26? New I'm looking at $110 for a fixed $130 for a foldable from Santa Clara Cycle Accessories.

Check Zipcar too, looks like they no longer have pickup trucks but they have vans. Back when I used them the prices were pretty good for long drives since gas is included.

a 2x6 trailer? A trailer is $15/day but my 2016 Ford Edge Sport doesn't have a tow hitch and the lead time to get one installed is a week or more, truck rental is $285 given the miles I would put on it.

2x6 as a ramp.
That would be one weird looking trailer.

Can I just say how f*(king awesome this offer is? Like seriously, talk about luck and the good grace of strangers. Well Caddywumpus is a stranger no more, it's all set and that mad fool is headed south to pick up a bike and mine as well :party
