I also don't like to strap the bike down by the handlebars.
It compresses the front forks and could lead to busted seals. I run my tie down above the break calipers on the lower section of the forks. (like the bike in the pic above) It allows the suspension to travel with the road and does not keep them compresses.
many miles - no problems

I swear by the Baxley trailer chock. I just ride into it, tie down ther rear end and go. I use it in the garage to store the bike upright & out of the way. Go to BAXLEY TRAILER COMPANY chock and look at the Sport Chock. It is well worth the money.

Do the 300 miles on a bus or train...then ride her home. It will save you $$$ in the long run and you two can be alone on the road together for some "special time".
Buying all the "stuff" straps and a chock...and all the stress of fugging something up is not worth it...take the bus!!!

I think that guy clocked over 5,000 miles on the way home
Excellent idea, Rich
I have bought three new bikes from a dealer that is almost 4 hundred miles from me...for everyone of them I flew down and rode them back. I have a truck/trailer...sport chocks...everything that you could imagine to haul bikes. But I flew and they picked me up at the airport...did the paper work...and then I hit the road.
On one trip there was some weather brewing so I Bee lined it home, on another one I met up with a good friend in the area at the dealership and then we hit the local mountains/canyons. On the third one three buddies from my area rode the 4 hundred miles and met me at the dealership...we did a 2 1/2 day ride home and had a blast...almost 1,000 miles in the first three days for that trip.
Each trip is a special memory...then there was the time that I flew from California to North Carolina and bought a bike...
THAT trip was the BEST of the BEST

He owns stock in Preparation H also...
Baxley or Condor wheel chock if you can drill holes in the floor of the trailer and use straps on the rear peg mounts. If you use a Canyon Dancer make sure the straps dont rub any where and wrap the handle bar area to protect them from abrasions. Mount the straps toward the front and mount the rear straps toward the rear using the rear peg mounts. Use two people to strap the bike down.
1600 ???
You are THE MAN...
Maybe I was thinking Kilometers, Leagues or Solar Units or something...:40__s:
1600 ???
