Just stand on the pegs. You're allowed to stay indefinitely in that position.

The floor structures in those things are not incredibly stout. Combine the inertia of a moving 900 pound full dress Harley plus a rider and I'm sure it could break out a stand.


As for the airplane, I guess they mean something like this?

What a horrible airplane design. Who wants to fly something when you can't see anything to the left or right?

Snake er Bruce I just got the $60 harbor freight chock. Not sure how you load multiple bikes. How many are you taking To Romney!
Harbor Freight = 1 bike.

http://www.boltiton.com/ = multiple bikes

Romney requires at least 2 bikes. Harrison's fault.

I want to see your setup. This was cheap and seems good quality for what it is.

Need something else when I want the Indian too.

If the wife goes then only need the indian.

Next question how do you mount the chock. Easy Ubolts but need socket to remove when bike unloaded. Is there a solid quick disconnect option?

I built a double (Harbor Freight) chock system for the Wolf Pup 17RP. I hauled two bikes 6200 miles on a trip in August 2016.




Here she is in Denver. I live in NJ. ::008::


Here is my single day mileage from my drive home. I drove 1000 miles with the Wolf Pup in tow and never broke a sweat. My total MPG for the 6200 mile trip was 14.5 but my foot was heavy on this day.

It is cheap and works perfect for one bike. (if you secure it nicely to the D-Rings)

But I couldn't figure out a way to use 2 of them that was as easy as the Bolt-it-on bar with 2 chocks.
Technically that's all it is. A bar, cut to length, that attaches to 2 D-Rings. Then you slide various fixtures onto that bar.
Chocks, rings, etc

His website shows pics, right?

So you want me to go mock-load my Wolf Pup for ya?
You're him, aren't you? You know, Thomas. lol

Just gotta see the scars with your own eyes. :)

Just realized I am old. My truck had both 100 watt 120v stopped and 400w running. So I can charge my driver battery without hitting snakes generator.

So driving 4 unbolt nuts on the chock is a non issue

We are currently snowed in and my 17rp is at a rv storage lot 40 minutes from home. Just remove the front post from two HF chocks and bolt them to some angle iron that is cut to width and painted black. Snake posted a picture of my setup earlier in this thread - post 26 is an actual picture of mine. If you can wait, I'll get some more pics in April.

No hurry as I will be using the HF to Romney. There I will see snakes setup.

In some other thread I was asking if there was a quick disconnect way to mount the chock.

I can just see me Unloading the 10 then tripping on the chock and just sitting around drinking Limey’s Scotch.

I can drink here!

I have tripped over the chock multiple times.

Mostly cuz I don't pick my feet up high enough.
I know it's there. But if I don't look at it, I misjudge it.

I won't make you wait until Romney. I'll mock load just because you are the man!

I bet if we brought extension chord, Romney would let us hook up.
But it'd need to be a really nice chord! Lol

I need to re-hitch my WDH anyways since I got a new tow vehicle. It's bound to sit a bit different because it's taller.

Here's a night shot.

First, ya can't stop me.

Second, these days I need a mission or two.

Heard the jingle "You're free to roam"? (I think it's an airline. The "wanna get away" airline)

Well, I'm free to ...........almost anything. Believe it or not, you can actually OD on it. :)

The HF double-chock takes less than 5 minutes to remove. It mounts with two bolts and nylon lock nuts. I throw it either under the RV or in the back of my truck. If you leave it bolted overnight, you will have a WTF moment involving a bloody shin. ::025::


Here is mine with just one chock loaded.
