First off, have you ever rode or pushed a bagger into a chock by yourself. Takes a little practice or your gonna have a problem. I bolted mine to my garage floor. It took me about 5 min. to get lined up to roll it in there. Still a great buy.

I also have the question about how hard it is to back the bike out of the chock?
How hard is it to rock the bike back out once you have it in?? I was thinking about putting one on my Handy Lift to replace the hand crank front tire vise that the Handy comes with. Just don;t want to have to climb up on the bike while on the lift to get the bike out of the chock. I agree, looks like a Great price and at $29.99 even better.
It takes a hefty "rock" to get it out, but it is easily done in one or two rocks. I doubt you would be able to get it out of the chock without sitting on the bike and rocking it, though.
Regarding the pit in my garage....I had the garage built special for my needs. I have a 67 Corvette and a 78 Z28 Camaro, and I enjoy working on small block Chevys. I have an "I" beam in the ceiling over the pit, with a hoist and a trolley attached. I use this to remove and replace motors as well as do much of my own work on the cars in the pit.
Wnated to say thanks for this post. Went by a Harbor Freight today and bout two of these, will use them for the trailer. Also found one more like the Condor or Eagle Chock which can be use for truck or trailer but more for garage and it was $59.99. Both seem to be good sturdy units. garage version will most certainly get drop-in concrete anchors so it can be sevured and removed when needed.
I did not find the big version online just saw it in the store.
Thanks again!!
