Thanks for the tip!!
I needed another chock and so ....... now it should be here next week!!
BTW: I sometimes trailer my RKC.
I haul it behind my motorcoach in a covered trailer when I don't want to tow another vehicle, and am on an extended trip to different interesting areas of the country that having the scoot along makes it ...... well ...... just perfect!!!
As I've gotten older I find that when I go to something like the 4 corners region, National Parks, or events like Sturgis, having my coach and scoot allow me to be rested, well fed, and able to actually enjoy all the happenings .... and the rides.
That said ....... I certainly do miss the days when I could (on a moments notice) just jump on an old Triumph Bonnie, ride all the way across the country, and not miss a beat at the parties along the way.
Oh well ......... at least I can still ride for pleasure ....... if not for show.

If I lived only 800 miles away it would be much easier time wise to ride up. Nice for you. I have over a 1500 mile drive. Too much to do in 1 day on the bike. I want to enjoy the rally when I get there.
To each there own.
The op was to let others get a deal, not provide a review or discuss why I am trailering to the rally this year. If you don't need a wheel chock, then you can save some time and add some "valuable insight" to another thread.

Geez, I was just giving folks a tip on a good price on a wheel chock. No need to start flaming. If I had the time I would ride, but there are a few of us going that only have a few days and we drive straight through. Saves us over a day travel each way.

Got two of em on my trailer and they work just fine.
Also have two of teh other type shown by another poster, one bolted to the garage floor and the other get used to stand the scoot up for cleaning. Both are good products for a fair price.
All that being said they can truly sell some real crap, guess I am somewhat lucky to have one near me that I can actually take a look at what I am getting (or not getting).
Won't speak to the trailer comments, just ain't none of my business.

I like HF stuff. Yeah, it's not the same quality as the top name brand stuff, but you're also not paying the top name brand prices. As for the wheel chock, I use the slightly more expensive model (picture below). It think it is on sale for $59, and if you're an Inside Track Club member then you get it for an even better price.
For what it's worth, I just bought the HF table lift ($259) and have thought about using this wheel chock in place of the clamp type system that comes with the table. I'll put the table together this weekend and figure it out then. I know for now, the chock has a nice wide stance, which give the bike plenty of security. I've actually used 2 of these chocks for my 2 bikes in the garage. I keep the bikes in a cutout in the back of the garage, and it is a tight fit getting a full sized bagger and a cruiser in the spot. With the wheel chocks I can stand both upright, and they are pretty secure. Saves pace and hassle.
