Don't forget to check all the straps after 30 minutes of driving. Mine loosened up a little. Be Safe.

I've trailed my bike and 2 bikes at once with 1 set of straps. Get the bike straps and tie down the front fork (around the handle bars) to the sides of the trailer. Tie one to the back tire and one to the fron tire...that should be good enough....good luck...

Thanks. I had a pretty good idea of how to do it, but the pics posted made it 'almost' idiot proof (which is exactly what I was looking for). I will let you all know how it goes tomorrow night.

This is an awesome forum full of friendly, helpful people.

I saw that thread.

Keep in mind that my wife is FIVE inches shorter than you. Which means she is meaner than you could ever hope to be.

It sounds like you're giving pitsvtec a challenge.

hey pitsvtec, now who's high jacking... [:-]

I forgot to add to my million-strap tie down. After the first strap, the weaker ones... I doubled up so if one breaks I have a back up. Do not tighten the second set as tight as the first, if you relieve the tension on the first set, you could cause them to come loose. I now use 10 straps. The front shorty for the tire, a must have (1 strap). Then I double up on the clip ons (4straps) then I double up on the straps connecting to the passenger pegs (4 more) then one passing through the rear pegs holds the rear down (1 strap). I traveled I64 from Virginia Beach to Chesapeake Ohio. Anyone ever take the West Virginia Turnpike? It was built and design way back in the 70's (I believe) and they never planed on the speed limit reaching 60's and 70's. The corners are made for 50mph and they drop the speed limit from 70 to 60, but everyone still trys to do 80. So... my bike didn't move at all and I did 80 most of the way back. Yes, I know too fast to trailer, but my trailer is made of stainless steel and it doesn't walk at all (weave behind and higher speeds).
