The dirt bike was strapped to the ramp, on the inside. When they were doing troop trials in Ft Hood, the test platoon was using Honda dirt bikes, not sure of the exact model, but I do remember one catching fire inside the vehicle, poorly secured gas cap lid dripping gas on a hot exhaust pipe.

Hmmmm, after that little incident, I also seem to remember that the dirt bikes were withdrawn!
