Working under the trike

As you can see, my carport is my workshop. When the house was built in 1955 (we bought it in 2003), most houses in built in Richmond did not have attached, heated garages.

First I tried driving the front wheel up the rams, leaving the rear wheels on the ground. I was able to get up the ram, but the area behind the pillion was not high enough for me to work there. It was not even worth taking a digital picture. Adding the 2X8's to the ramp allowed me to get the rear wheels raised enough for me to do the work. Success!



All I need to do know is figure out how to get it back on the ground with it and me intact.

Looks like you have your 2x8s a little higher on the ramp than I do. When I get ready to back off I put the trike in Neutral and get on and just push it off with my feet. I do have long legs so if you cannot do that you can stand beside it and push it off using the front brake for control. I would be cautious if you use the reverse and try to not let it get too fast off to prevent stress on the reverse system.
