I posted this on the "safety, security and rider tips" forum also...thought I'd drop it here, too.
This Saturday I plan on picking up a 1993 Nighthawk 750 that will require a 2 hour, mostly interstate, ride home.
I have a truck and trailer lined up for transport.
Any tips or tricks for safe and secure trailer transport of a bike?
I plan on compressing the suspension a bit and chocking the front tire, also. Is 4 tie-down points enough?
I've never done this before and want to take all precautions.
This is my first bike and the first time I have ever secured one to a trailer; I would die if I damaged it during transport.
Any tips or suggestions would REALLY be appreciated. Thanks.

4 tiedowns should be good, the key is to make sure that it's held down evenly on all sides, and that the two on the front pull the bike forwards, and the two on the back pull it backwards. Then ratchet those babies like there's no tomorrow, the tighter the better.

Sounds right on, Sev...thanks.
