How to transport motorcycles in toyhaulers

If you are searching for an easy and safe way to tie your motorbikes down in your toyhauler garage, check out this out:

www.boltiton.com

I have used this system in my Impact 312 only once but a couple dozen times in an enclosed trailer. It works awesome.
It connects to existing tie down locations in the trailer with J-hooks, so no cutting or drilling of the floors. It takes 2 minutes to set up and remove. Its fully adjustable. Holds bikes firm.

Looks nice. Probably much lighter than my harbor freight chock and easier to lift. Does it hold the bike up after dismount? I hope your camping year was good.

Or, you can use these........ https://www.amazon.com/Baxley-Motorc...rt+wheel+chock

I've had two of these in my enclosed trailer since 2007. I've hauled my street bikes occasionally, our track bikes a LOT, and even my ST1300, which is like a smaller version of the Gold Wing. We average 10 track day weekends a year, so that's 20 times a year...load them in and transport to the track, load them in and transport them home. Multiply that by the 10 years we've owned them and let's say, that a lot of use. With the Baxley, you ride the bike into the chock, you get off the bike (yes, it will stand up by itself) and then use a ratchet strap tie down and attach them to the rear of the bike and pull it down and slightly forward and you are done. Oh, don't forget to flip the latch down after you ride the bike into the chock.

Seems similar to a Condor, which is what I have. The Bolt It On looks like simple solution, though.

The Condor is similar to the Baxley, but one of the differences, that causes me to prefer the Baxley is that when you roll the bike into the Baxley, not only does the back part of the chock (the area that is at the rear of the front tire) roll over and lock it into place....it also squeezes the back part of the front tire. To me, that just adds another layer of protection for keeping the bike in place once it's in the chock.

Condor all the way for me. I don't even bolt it down. Just drive the
bike into it and strap down on all four corners and it has never moved.

If you upgrade to the Condor "Pit Stop" you don't even need to drill holes into your floor. It also works great in the driveway or garage to keep the bike upright for mechanical work, or clean and polish. Takes the lean out of the HD kick-stand.

Folds for storage too! Worth the money.

Good Luck,

If you are strapped down on all 4 corners of the bike, you might not even need a wheel chock. I roll into the Baxley and only tie down (ratchet straps) on each side in the rear and pull it forward.

Just put enough bikes and gear in the back so there is no room to move around.

the most fun way to transport is with your butt on the seat and hands on the bars

Me........

Neither of the above bikes are street legal and are used on the track exclusively.....so no riding them to the track.

That would be impressive wouldn't it.....pull up to the track entrance on G.W.s pulling small enclosed trailers with track bikes in them!

I actually an ST1300 also, plus an FZ09 and my D.W. has a FZ07. I think I'll stick with the new T.H. for my track day experience. This coming year will be the first time that we will stay at the track at the end of the day instead of going to the hotel room.....I'm really looking forward to it.

I have this system and use it for a Harley RoadGlide. I drove to the guys house where he manufactures them to pick mine up. Nice man and he's got a nice business going.

I like the idea of using the existing tie down locations. I use the Biker Bar myself. No straps but I did have to drill the floor.

need to put that right foot back a tad on the peg LOL jk!!!! if i lurked around on the forums i might know who you are but im new to my Raptor but just sold my R6 that i rode with STT.(quite the conundrum, but im taking a break from TD for now, may get back into it later this year or next). im sure ive met you at the track just dont remember your bike. i hang with the AmishRacing crew.
i have always used the Pitbull Trailer Restraint system for my R6 and FZ6. Ride up, flip the latches, pin it and go. would that not work for the TH?
for my HD's i cant use the pitbull but i still have a set of condors somewhere i may be employing. this thread has me thinking about restraints/chocks. i dont like cinching down on my shocks, no matter how many people say its ok or do it.

Hey there....I know those guys.....Amish racing crew. My wife Peggy and I are the old folks at the track. She primarily Instructed in Novice and I'm a Lead Instructor in the Intermediate group most of the time. I've only had the GSX-R 750 for a year or so. Prior to that it was a Black 600RR....215 on the plate. Are you on the STT forum too?
