How do you load/secure mororcycles? Photos?
Hi All. Been looking to move up to a toy hauler. How does everyone secure motorcycles? All I'm seeing is D-rings in the garage floors. I'm mechanically inclined & can do mods.

Full length L or E tracks in the floors for complete adjustability of tie down points.
I use ratchet straps designed for motorcycles - positive snap attachments on the floor end that cannot come undone, and soft straps and hooks on the bike end so no metal is hooked to the bike. Two in the front through the triple tree and two on the rear to the frame, rear foot pegs, rear crash guards, depending on the bike...
I use a couple wraps of electrical tape on the strap hooks to close the hook so it cannot come undone, rather than over compressing the bikes suspension.
It seems to be getting to be more of a Great Impossibility to engineer bridge decks and rr crossings to be level with the road...we crashed over a creek bridge once, stopped immediately and found a Gold Wing lying on it's guards in the trailer. No more untaped hooks after that one.
