Hey Dave,
The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks # VG-04-4000 isn't quick and easy to remove - it basically installs the same as a standard tailgate.
You'll be able to remove it easily enough so you can replace it with the standard tailgate for loading your motorcycle, but it isn't just like popping a few pins and pulling the tailgate away.
Attached is a link to the installation instructions for this tailgate - you'll just reverse the process for removal.
