1,100 miles, two days, two kids and a car sick cat...'nuff said.









BTW, we're in Nashville now.

After driving it up, turning it (butting against a coffee table), putting it on the center stand and sticking a Harbor Freight wheel chock under it (picked up the front of the bike) We put heavy furniture on one side and the front, and stuck bags of clothing around it. Bike NEVER moved, not ONE INCH. We did strap everything across the truck so that helped. Bike was immaculate, more so than some of my furniture...LOL

You'd have to pack the truck around them...good luck with that. You also have to have the heaviest items in the front and middle, not the end by the door. I would put them in the middle, at least over the rear axel of the truck.

I've never moved with a bike before but my brother did. He got a larger truck than he needed and put all the rest of his stuff up front and basically created an immovable barrier out of his furniture strapped down tight. He left enough room at the back for the bike to be on its own strapped to the walls. You could probably do the same thing just going 3 wide on the bikes in the back.

I would have put the bike smack in the middle. Just in case it jumped, it wouldnt beat itself to death against the box truck's wall.
