4 years on and still relevant advice in a changing world. Thank you

So glad there are good people like yourself that explain how to and don't Wreck your very expensive motorcycle 🏍 nice job

Well done! I have two very different bikes and now have the information to correctly strap them to the trailer. Refreshing to hear from someone who actually tows and or hauls vehicles and freight for a living. Real life experience.

Good advice. I’ve never trailered any of my bikes in the past. In about a month I’m going to and travel about 10 hours to west Texas.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge- very helpful- glad I’ll be securing my motorcycle properly moving fwd.

awesome video. love the idea to strap over the front tire. was kind of worried about the lower tree on my first front fairing bike. us former dirt bikers know about cinching down the front forks to much. thanks very informative.

Really informative video, I use 1/2” bolts through the trailer floor with a backing plate under the frame to secure my condor.And use the bikes suspension to float. Front forks of the H-D by strapping over the forks fender bolts and double ratchet tie down straps each side as I had one break once

Thanks for the thoughts. Good things to consider

Thank you for the information and like I say I learn something new everyday. I ordered the Condor pit stop for my Ultra Limited. I used to have a Street Guild had to get the couch because I ride Two Up now.

Nice job. Very well informed.

Great video thanks. I have a very similar chock from harbor freight and I've been strapping only the sprung weight on the front of my zx6r. Will use your method instead.

Good info. Thank you. There are times I can't just ride the bike, like when I'm taking my whole family on vacation but would like to have the bike with us for some Mom and Dad time while the kids play Nintendo!

Excellent information

Thanks for your time. Ya gave me some ideas

Thanks for the wisdom..

Great video!

Hey Man, thanks for your time and help. I'm curious to and update the wheel chock now you have used it etc. I'm also wondering what if or couldn't a guy replace the bolts that hold the wheel chock to the brackets?

Thanks for your excellent advice and professional experience working in the towing industry. I was wondering if your Condor chock was locked/bolted onto the floor of your trailer or can it be used without bolting for those that are renting a trailer and cannot drill or insert mounting brackets. Thanks in advance.

nice job. was wondering about that fender.

Excellent information! Looks like your fenders were probably fine since the wheel lifts up enough for clearance in the chock. If you check out SRK Cycles or Bikes and Beards, they move hundreds of bikes by strapping to the forks at the fender mount using Tank Straps. They have a test vid using just 2 Tank Straps to prove how well they work.

Nice bike! That was a good video too. I think Im going to try this chock out on my harbor freight table lift. The lift seems great for the money. But, I have tried a bunch of different chocks and they all suck!. I tried the HF's version of this chock (the one that looks like the condor) and I returned it. The HF table is high up off the ground and the pin that holds the rear part of the HF chock (the condor clone) prevents the tire from easily driving into the chock. Its a pain to get it back out for this reason too. It's like trying to back your bike up over a speed bump while sitting on it. The only good thing about it is the front part of the chock is all one piece, nice and tall and doesnt need adjusting like the condor. I see what you're saying about those two pieces being too close together and creating a gap off the floor. I don't understand the design. Why not just make it without those. Or, if they are there for lateral strength weld them flush with the bottom so theere is no gap between chock and floor. I have a vtx 1300 and a cbr 1000 so I want something that will work for both with minimal fuss. I don't mind moving a pin to a different setting but, I don't want to be unbolting things. Thanks

Nice video thanks, I suppose this would be safe to use on a motorcycle lift?

Nothing is overkill and basically you don't want to damage the bike or create a hazard on the road...Good job brother!

Exelent advice

Can you just run a bolt thru the trailer floor and then use a backer plate on the bottom of the trailer as well as larger washers on the back? Or how about using e-track in your trailer and attaching the chock to the e-track?

A lot of very good information and I gave a thumbs up, but what is a wheel chaulk?

Thank you 👍

In Three days I will pull my bike on a Lowe's utility trailer for the first time. Thanx. I have the Condor.

Best video I have seen in securing a motorcycle. Love your ideas based on experience. What is your view on the "canyon Dancer " strap? Please advise!

Your math is flawed, even if it wasn’t, putting a few 1” straps rated at approximately 1000 lbs breaking is not going to hold your suggested 48k load... You can use FMCSA 393, 393.100, 393.102 etc. for guidance. I do agree with you that more straps are better. And I am plenty disheartened when I see some of the other guys pulling front and rear straps both in a forward direction. Straps always need to pull against each other.

Wish you had shown the straps after you were done. Love a photo. Thanks though. All Good points.

I have a Victory Cross Country. The rear part of the fender is an issue like you stated. Did you take pictures or do a video on how much you took off that Cradle piece so it would clear the Fender? I think Many Vic Owners want to know this. Thank you.

7:46pm, I have 2019 gildwing dct and would to no where in the rear is a good place to strap it down.

How do you keep the front tire from rolling forward or backward when strapping over the apex? Seems like, to me, any deviation either direction would cause the tire to roll in the chock.

Any way for a short person to get the bike out of the wheel chock without a strain?

Condor makes a chopper chock that works with custom fenders .. doesn't come up as far .. I e-mailed them about it and ended up talking live with one of their techs. got one coming for my 180 x 18 wide front

I strapped my bike down using the front tire strap method. First time my bike has ever tipped over in a trailer. I understand the concept but I wasn't happy with the results.

I hope you are strapping your foot pegs straight out to the side with no angle. Any angle will diminish the amount it can hold side to side movement.

E = Cm2

if they say that they can be sued for it. Its illegal to use less then 3 straps on motorcycles or a atv. 5 are required on a car.

I’m thinking that most people are like me and stopped watching long before the end

Your math is way off. You’re going to hold it “backwards” with a strap that’s way less than your 48k force or whatever lol. If you get in a wreck, the bike is hosed most likely anyways. Put it in the chalk, strap it forwards, and go ride lol.

You state in the video about the "teeny tinny screws" holding the chock to the trailer? Well why don't you use some longer, more substantial thicker screws then? Use some common sense.

Pit Bull made in Alabama.

a 900 pound bike won't pivot anything steel with that thickness. That's nonsense.

I think your figures are way off and mainly because you didn’t understand the motion part of your equation! The motorcycle is not going 40 mph when it hits the chock ! There was no perpetual motion! The trailer is going the same speed and when stopped suddenly it’s all about the impact not what you are saying it is

I dont want a condor now...

🤦‍♂️

Condor sucks for using wussy screws and strapping by hand bars should get your ass kicked...REALLY...so where are all the lawsuits by bike owners??? Sounds like engineering and the laws of metallurgy wins out this time...

instead of being a trailer queen, how about riding it?
