You are an A$$. I don't know awmllc2000 from a can of paint! You started pushing your point of view on me in my first post. I am sorry my grammar wasn't perfect in my first comment. If I restructure it would you understand? Okay, It has never been my experience that a defective or cheep chock to be the reason for a bike fall-over! It has always been operator error and the way the bike was strapped down. And of course you can read the rest of the post for the 3 reasons I have seen. The sad thing is I do use a Condor, but I am not going to tell everyone that is the only way to go. Some people might not have $250 to blow on a chock. In that case, the Harbor freight chock is the best if money is tight. And if it takes sleeping with awmllc2000 to let people know to find what works for them, so be it!

I agree, you turned into a pissing match. Your way or the highway is the view of a narrow minded individual.

the original post, if I recall...been so long now....asked for the "best chock out there".
Now, I do not know which is best.......just shop around and it is easy to tell the most expensive. Seems some people have a BEEF about Harbor Freight, oh well.
The trailer I have, has 'rails' down the middle of it, and i wanted a chock I could ride
into and tie-down the bike by myself. Being limited in space by the rails.....
the only chock I found to fit with no BIG modifications was at Harbor Freight. I looked at
it awhile, mulled it over and bought it (I think it was about 30 bucks with an on-line coupon). I towed my Ultra to maggie valley for the first time this past June.
Worked like a charm. My friend bought one and put it in the back of his Chevy P/up,
worked like a charm.
I am sure there are other chocks that are built better......more expensive, prettier, lighter, heavier, whatever floats your boat. The Harbor Freight chock (and it is sold
by others under a different name) works for me. and it is simple enough that if you wanted to BEEF it up, you could have it done for $50 by a welder. Mine works as is.
So come to think of it, I don't have the BEST of anything (clothes, house, neighbors,
kid, bike, truck or chock), but you know...sometimes what we have is the best we are going to get!!!
(If anyone calls me and asks me to help tow their bike home....they are going on a Harbor freight chock!!!!!!)

I can only speak for the two different types I have had. First a "BIKE PRO" I bought this chock and I liked it very much but sold it with my 6X12 trailer.
I then bought 2 Condors for my new 7X14 trailer. Both brands are built well but... I am 6'2" 345lb. When I ride into my trailer and dismount the Bike Pro feels more stable and the bike does not lean at all. The Condors are nice in the garage for stands but my Ultra starts to lean when I dismount. The "Bike Pro's" rotating cradle, supports the front tire better. If I were doing it over I would by the Bike Pro again.
By the way I bought the Condors this time because they were a little more money and of course the more they cost... the better they are. Not in this case good luck.
