My chock is just lagged in, which is not great, but I needed to do something to recover a bike. This why I am trying to think ahead. Anyone make something to make it removeable? Just buy one of store bought ones? Would need carriage bolts or bolts welded to chock so you can tighten from below or nuts welded to plate mounted below. Which is best option not crawling underneath.
I got people I can call to help. But sometimes you just want to get it done without waiting for people. Late night don't want to make people go out if you can help it. Plus maybe you were all drinking at the same place together.

I really have not heard anything different than initial proposal, other than people who lack ambition to try .
I just thought it might a fun topic I thought people might benefit from it not getting any younger either m. 2 guys on flat road is a push. You can't always break down on a hill.

It's been two damn days. Today is the third day that your bike is laying in a ditch by the side of the toad. And you do not want to waste time? Hell, you've been spending all your time on various forum threads.
The bike is probably long gone and parted out by now.

I don't believe I or others on here are loser talking and lack ambition.
I am sorry we couldn't help.
Hey on another subject entirely, and I'm sorry to hijack the thread, I'm new here - is there a way to choose to ignore posts from specified members?

To lower the rear of the trailer, back the tow vehicle rear wheels up onto some Rhino Ramps. For a winch, cheap and simple is to use a boat trailer winch powered by your arm. My 2 cents.
