I am thinking about buying a cargo trailer to haul and store my Ultra Classic Limited. I was going to put in the chocks that you drive into and then get off the bike then wrap a strap around the front tire. That was until yesterday when I had to help a friend get his Ultra of the stand. Being vertically challenged, I do not have enough leg to to lift the bike off the locking chock.
Is there any locking chocks that are easy to exit and that will accommodate us dwarfs? High heels are out of the question.

You can cut 2 - 3' 2x6s and attach them to the floor under your floorboards and running back about 2' past the floorboards towards the rear tire. It makes your legs longer and works very well.
Whatever brand of chock your friend has - don't buy that one.
Sorry, not much help here. I have the cheaper of the 2 that Harbor Freight sells, and have no problem getting my bike out of it.

+1. I have the HF chock too, and my 5'6" wife has no problem getting my slightly lowered UC in and out of it.
