I'm guessing someone on this forum has a 1988-98 Chevy/GMC Silverado. I'm going to be purchasing one but being in Italy I can't exactly just go down to the local car lot and check one out. I need to know if I'm going to be able to haul around my Aprilia RS250 race bike with the tailgate up or if I'm going to need one of those aluminum "gate" things that effectively makes the bed longer. Can someone please measure the inside of their truck bed and let me how long it is with the tailgate up. I would really appreciate it.

Also, I'm looking for a link to the video of that crash (I think it was WSBK) where a few bikes crash, one guy goes flipping into the wall and then another bike comes flying up behind him and hits him in the head. Someone must know a link to it, I remember it floating around the forums a while back, but haven't seen it recently.

Thanks,
Jason

i got a new silverado and i can easily fit my 1000RR in it with the gate up, if that helps at all.

Actually that does kinda help. Is your Silverado longbed or shortbed (regular)?

I have an '88 GMC and I just measured my bed and the length of the inside is approx. 6'5" Hope this helps...

^^ This is of course from the front wall to the tail gate; not corner to corner...

Awesome, thank you, a 6'5" bed would fit my RS250 just fine

Thanks a ton for the favor!

So now, how about that video, does anyone even know the one I am talking about?

I think I have the clip you're talking about. Got any place I can upload it to? Or you can PM me an email address to send it to. I's about 6.5 megs.
