Anyone done it?

Got some ramps and blocks of wood that i can use to get a bike into a transit, but unsure how to strap it down. Saw picture of one being strapped at at an angle off handle bars, but with flat floor in Transit now sure how that would work.

Another idea is to put protect bike and put padding down on the floor and let it go onto its side on purpose, then strap it down  :-/

Never done this but, some Transit have hooks on the floor maybe the straps could be attached to these?

Yeah, thing is can't see a centre stand being secure enough, maybe with straps it would be  :-/

Not too sure really, can't you put some strong stuff against the side panels of the van to try and assist in the bike not falling over? Obviously something soft so it doesn't damage paint work but thick and strong enough to hold a bike up  :-/

[Plomien]

what about using ratchet straps to the side?

I know its a push bike but similar principle

Could do that. unsure what i could use  :-/

Transit also is not exactly going to give smoothest ride, wonder if transporting it on its side would be best, or against one side of the van  :-/

I've tied a few women down in the back of vans of various sizes, but never a motorcycle. I never used the same van twice, as I had to burn each one after.........OOOOOPS

This is the Transit to be used (when it passes it's MOT), it's a SWB semi high roof.
It does indeed have anchor points, the photo's I took earlier were for a deifferent reason, so they can't really be seen in the rear clearly...but they are there.

Might it be best to consider making a temporary support-structure using 100mm x 50mm rough-sawn timber, lined with old carpet where it touches the wheels/tank/chassis and attaching the wooden frame to the van`s side/floor boarding with screws?
...wouldn`t be too much cost or work and would mean you`d be able to drive in a normal manner without having to hear your bike being destroyed at every roundabout.

Have you ever been strapped to the floor Debs? Just making conversation, you understand......

[Sir Tigger KC]

Put it on the side stand and strap from handle bars to the floor either side and from the grab rail to the floor either side.  If you have enough straps run one over the seat as well.  Put the steering lock on to stop the front wheel moving.

I've done this a few times without mishap    However you follow this guide completly at your own risk etc etc etc
