How do you load motorcycles in pick-ups with small ramps?

Harbor Freight makes a very reasonably priced 5 foor wide folding ramp. I just ride and walk up my bike into the back of my full sized Chevy, hill or not. Never had a problem.

If you have 2 - 3 guys? Don't use a ramp

One guy in the truck, other guy at the tail.

I pick the front wheel up and put it on the truck. Truck helper applies front brake and stabilizes the bike.

I pick the back of the bike up and walk forward... putting it onto the truck.

The entire bike weights 400 lbs, so you only have to pickup 200 lbs at a time...

--- otherwise make a ride ramp, or use a lower trailer.

ive only used a ramp 1 time and that was during the winter when I was moving it. just me and my father, backed up to a hill in his Titan so it made it a little easier and used a piece of long flat wood about 1' wide. we put a piece of firewood that was cut in half under it so the wood would rest on the round part. Other than that, just 3 of us lifting it in and out.
