Kyle: Kyle Bradshaw from Cruiser Customizing, Greg Buck from Tucker Rocky with your Episode #2 of Wednesday with Greg. So what’s the topic of the week Greg.
Greg: We gonna talk this week about how to safely transport your motor vehicle if you have to.
Kyle: So most of us don’t care to tie their motorcycle down with trailer or pick-up truck or anything like that but sometimes it’s necessary.
Greg: Yes, sometimes you need to take your bike somewhere to get some work done on it. It doesn’t run or you’re going on a trip and it necessitate your bike on the trailer. Who know’s
Kyle: So here im gonna focus on couple items the Condor, Power Stand. Those are your most high power and inexpensive version of motorcycle truck. We gonna talk about the canjon dancer and the high roller. So to begin with this tip let’s go ahead and roll into the Condor so we can show people how simple that item really works.
Greg: Alright, Lets do it.
Kyle: The Condors are really simple way to keep your bike upright without being tied down. Take a look at this. Rolling in is just that simple. Then you can step off the motorcycle. This is allowed your motorcycle to be in upright position so can properly used all of your tie-down from restrain.
Greg: Now we have the motorcycle safely into the Condor. Let me explain some of the benefits and features of the high rollers barber strain. This section is adjustable so we have more than just one bike. You can adjust to fit the bike properly. It also has a strap that goes around the bar and then you can pull down front or rear or both front to facilitate tieng the bike down properly. If you happen to have bars and mirrors and you can’t get a or like a in capped on you can simply go around the bar and tie the bike down. High roller also has a bar that goes across the bed of the pick-up. So if you don’t wanna used the wilsock. The bar is design to give you cut outs so that you can locate the front wheel and also keep the bed of the pick-up from bending under multiple uses. There’s a lot of different kind of tie-down. So what I’m featuring today is the bike master. It has a soft hook for connecting it at the top. You don’t need a harness. It’s 1 ½ inches wide so you have a lot of surface area for grip and the nice feature at the bottom it has a carribener for positive retention. It inhibits so they never get twisted. Here where showing the strap facing backward. So if you have another location back here. You can in fact have the front tie down and the back tie down and the wheel would not move. Now, we take this go forward and go into the tie down and you have both of them captured like that.
Kyle: Join us next week for episode #3. Where Greg and I talk about planning your trip appropriately and what you do in the dier event and you out of fuel on the road.
