Riding with a pickup tailgate open?

How short of closing the gate is it? Maybe you can let the air out of the tires and squeeze it closed.

OP has junk Dodge, shortbed won't fit a bike.

However, most pickup beds are ~6ft for shortbed and ~8ft for a longbed IIRC, so it should be within an inch or so of closing. I know my Chevy was very, very close but the gate did close with a few mm left. So maybe if he lets a little air out of the tires it will fit.
