Ed. The one you posted - I would use that in a trailer with tie-downs. But, it appears to be a bit flimsy and the idea that a bike could get knocked over in one.... no thank you.
Even the condor ones advertise you dont need front tie downs. that was a chance I wasnt going to take though

Ha, I "understand" that people DO it, "why" is what I don't know about.

He provided a reasonable explanation which I graciously accepted.

I'm retarded! I would use it with tie downs to transport BUT I wouldn't trust it sitting in the driveway.

I think those things are cool, and would be helpful when transporting but in the garage or driveway, I don't think I need it. Just me of course.

The condors I have are only for the trailer they have a very narrow base so it wouldnt be very stable for a bike to stand up in. Guys at the track use them since most track bikes dont have kickstands, but a lot of them also run tire warmers so they need front and rear stands anyway.

I've seen people load trailer at Daytona that have those and it does look easier for sure!!! If everything goes my way next month, I'll probably buy a trailer and a couple of those HF cheapy chocks for Daytona Bike Week and Spring Break!! I'm sure my gf would LOVE it!

it is easier the bike locks into the chock so you dont have ot hold it to tie it down, makes it much easier when by yourself

cheap Baxley copy

i;d be parking a bike between 2 cars, alot easier and safer to roll on up and lock it in.

That is definitely the best trailer system available today.
