Another reiterated comment about something that's been said 18 times already buy it is more important for me to express MY level of expert strapsmanship to inform the OP of a potential problem just in case he's as dense as I am and has not yet realized the straps ain't great.
Did I mention I'm also in the PDHKL? It's the professional dead horse kicking league for anyone interested. Seems a few members here could be interested in competing with other professionals.

I'd be very concerned that there is no chock for the front wheel. Even with straps on both sides, that front wheel can slide out and the bike will go down. When I have to do a transport I will just take a small piece of plywood and build a makeshift chock out of 2x4's. Anything to keep the front wheel from turning or sliding.
Need a strap on the back too, to keep it from bouncing and moving. And strap redundancy is a must. If one breaks or loosens, down she goes. Are those ratchet straps or tie-downs? I prefer ratchet straps as they won't loosen up like a tie-down can.
Once that rig goes down the road a few miles I guarantee things will loosen up and move around. He has the straps going over the bars and compressing the suspension but with the trailer bouncing, the forks will still compress some. At minimum, he should wrap a strap through the spokes and around the wheel rim and trailer crossmember to keep the front tire secure.
Good luck and by the way, the bike looks great!

Let's just make this a game now. How many people can put the same message into different words as if it's news? With all the big brains chiming in I'd say we can make this the biggest thread on the site. Even by accident. Heck, maybe move it to the show down section! Comment showdown.
Like a bunch of clowns criticizing a plumber we just hired to do his job.
"Yer straps is f*cked"
Who's next?

Ever raised chickens? When one gets sick or even has a small sore, the rest will peck it to death.
Seems like you're jumping on the bandwagon and tossing in your 2 cents.

Good morning all, just in case anyone is following this thread... she made it home safe and sound and unscathed. My brother unloaded her yesterday and she is now in Texas. I'll upload better pictures when i have a chance.
Yep, I was following. So happy for you. Dunno the miles or route but I’d hazard a guess the carrier inspected the load and took precautionary measures during the trip.
