[QUOTE="Gary E, post: 1307557, member: 24040"] Looks good, but... In decades of hauling MC's on and in trailers and in trucks, like everyone else, I used 2 straps for each bike. Then it happened. Coming down a steep grade on Interstate 5 in Oregon, one of the straps gave up. I saw it all happen in my side mirror. While trying to quickly slowdown, which made the bike thrashing around get worse, outside strap, drivers side, the bike departed its resting place and onto the interstate, rolling over and over, end over end. The straps wound around the bike keeping it close. Bent and missing parts, severe road rash on everything, split gas tank, gas running out. Had a big rig, RV, or other vehicle been in the left lane right there, it could have been a real goat rope rodeo. I now use 4 straps on every bike, even when they are in an enclosed trailer. [/QUOTE]
