Default Moving a Street Glide

Im half way to GA from Texas and my plan to move my Street Glide in a uhaul type truck is going great.

I got head from a local stealer where I live in TX to load it up.

I built a front chalk out of 2x6s and 2x4s for the front wheel and then took some 2x4 blocks with eye bolts in them to tie it down. All of it is held together with long screws.

The bike has not moved an inch and is still as stable as when we tied it down the AM.

Ill try and take some picks with my phone tomorrow of my chalk and tie down points.

BBBJTCNQNS is rare in a professional dealer these days.

Also, a 2x4 piece of chalk isn't going to hold a 900lb motorcycle.
