Dirt bikes, naked bikes, cruisers, there comes a time when you need to transport your motorcycle on a truck or trailer, because you need to tote it to OHV land, the track, or simply to the shop for service. Tie-downs are utilized to strap your rig down during transport and with the ratchet feature ensure it is extra secure. Without going into a full-flung lesson in strapping down your motorcycle properly, the main idea is to make sure you have four key anchor points of the motorcycle (typically two on either side of the handlebar/triple clamp and then two anchor points toward the rear) secured down. Here’s some ratchet tie-downs so you can be ready for the move.

It’s one thing to transport your motorcycle from point A to point B successfully, but if you get to your final destination and find scratches on your cargo that is a bit of a killjoy. Ratchet straps like this have rubber-coated S-hooks to protect your vehicle from scratches while the 15 feet of webbing secures your load. The manufacturer claims the ergonomic handles are molded on so they will never fall off. Augo throws in a couple of bungee cords to help sweeten the deal. Besides, you can use these bungees to make sure your bulky gear bag gets to the destination safely as well.
