    I should have shown you while you were there, could have loaded Rosesbike ....

    but then again I missed the start of Michael game after picking up his bike and doing a few tweaks on the cruiser before heading over.... Lazy day today though...I should be down fixing a few more bits on the old cutter I got for the boy....got to love buying bikes from teenagers that do there own bike work

    I prefer the Karabina type....but it depends on what is on the trailer to attach to

    I will take a pic when its loaded to take home .

    I guess bolting that to a borrowed trailer might be an issue but you could bolt it to a bit of ply or 6x1 wood that is the width of the trailer to drop in when you use the trailer

    I don't reckon it should be a problem? Stepfather and mother are in Australia I don't know if they're ever going to come back anyway Lol. That seems like a great idea especially as my flatty just bought a cr250 So now we needa transfer two bikes around!

    Fair call, ours is a bike trailer only.

    Nah, I got told at Mr Motorcycles not to as they can transmit road shocks to the bike and snap tie downs. My bike bounces on its suspension but has never moved.

    Don't bother. I've heard of at least one bike lost off a trailer because one of those came out. I can't even see the original point of them, I've never popped a seal from tying bikes down the traditional way.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    We used to use a block of wood as a chock, and it was hard on the tie downs, so we just made sure the hooks of the tie downs were in a way so they didn't drop out when you hit big bumps going slack. When we went to karabina's type tie downs you didn't need to tie down as tight as the hooks don't pop off
