Most motorcycle owners have probably wanted or needed to haul their bike at some time. For most people a pickup truck is the most accessible and easiest way to haul a motorcycle. The problem is that most people struggle when it comes to securing the bike in the back of the pickup truck. Regular old straps and bungee cords aren't going to cut it when securing a 500 lb bike. You must have the correct equipment to safely secure a motorcycle so you don't end up with an expensive bike in pieces skidding down the highway.
There is a variety of parts out there to choose from but a few "must haves" are handle bar straps, and motorcycle ratchet straps.
Handle bar straps are soft polyester straps with loops on the ends that are used to choke around the handle bars, forming a securing point to hook your ratchet strap to.
Motorcycle ratchet straps are special ratchet straps with rubber coated hooks on the ends that are used to tightly secure the bike down to the truck bed.
Once the handle bar straps are in place you will need to attach one end of the ratchet strap to the loop of each handle bar strap. If you don't already have hooks or rings in the bed of your truck, you can buy some d-rings and attach them to the inside walls of your truck bed. You must have something secure to attach the other end of your ratchet straps to.
If you are by yourself, you will need to ratchet each side a little at a time in order to keep the motorcycle straight. Continue to tighten until the bike is solid and secure with no play whatsoever. Some larger motorcycles may require straps in the rear as well as the front and you will basically follow the same procedure as outlined above.
Remember, securing your beloved motorcycle properly using high-quality, durable motorcycle straps is your first step to protecting your investment.

Pet Carriers and Bicycle Baskets – The Perfect Way to Travel With Your Dog
Pedaling About Town With Your Pet
If your dog enjoys taking walks with you, then why not try taking your dog for a ride? A bicycle ride that is!
The safest method of bicycling around your neighborhood with your dog is by choosing a pet bicycle basket for your friend to sit in. A pet bicycle basket is designed to easily attach to the front or back of the bicycle. There’s a wide range of baskets and other pet products you can attach to your bicycle including:
- Wicker or Sporty Pet Baskets – these baskets attach to the front of the bicycle’s handle bars
- Rear Bicycle Seat – a basket that your pet is safely enclosed in on the back of the bicycle
- Pet Bicycle Trailer – an enclosed, lightweight trailer that hitches to the fenders of your bicycle, making it easy for you to tow your pet in it’s safe, airy enclosure
Safe Car and Air Travel for Your Pet
If you decide to hit the road, or take to the friendly skies with your pet (be it a dog, cat or other small pet) you need to ensure the safety and comfort of your pet during its travels.
If you’re driving with your pet, you can choose a pet car seat that straps your pet in and keeps them from running around the car. Not only is that more enjoyable for you while driving, but it’s safer for your pet. The seat is high enough so your pet can see out the windows and enjoy the scenery.
The first thing you need to know is what size carrier you need for your pet so it has room to move around but also lay down to sleep while on the road or in the air. Pet carriers come in both soft-sided carriers, carriers on wheels that can convert to car seats, and hard-sided carriers good for shipping your pet (and good for larger dogs). Before you pick out a carrier for your pet, to make sure it’s the right size you need to know:
- Length – Measure from the nape of the pet’s neck (where the collar falls) to the base of the tail
- Height – Measure from the floor to the shoulder when the pet is standing up
- Weight – Not to exceed the weight limit for that crate or carrier
Before you decide to fly with your pet you need to:
- Check with the airline to see if they allow pets in the cabin. If they don’t see if they allow pets in the cargo hold (and your pet will have to be checked in)
- Find out the dimensions of the allowable carrier – if your pet is flying in the cabin, the carrier has to be soft –sided and small enough to fit under the seat in front of you but allowing your pet enough room to be comfortable. If your pet has to fly in the cargo hold, you need to check on the pricing for the size hard-sided carrier you use.
- Find out the weight limit for the pet allowed in the cabin. Some airlines restrict the size of pet allowed to fly with you in the cabin.
Buy your ticket early because airlines only allow a certain number of pets per flight.

why hasnt anyone thought of putting road racing bicycle handle bars on a mountain bike?
i frequently commute on my mountain bike and when im trying my hardest to streamline my body as im speeding down a hill i often wonder, why hasnt anyone put the handle bars i often see on a road racing style bicycle on a mountain bike?
People have thought of it.....it's just not a popular idea. If you have 31.8 handlebars right now, then you can just get some road bars with the same diameter and give 'em a try. Otherwise, you'll need to buy a new stem to match whatever road bars you end up with.
The frame geometry on most mountain bikes makes it to where it isn't quite as comfy or advantageous to put drop bars on them, but there's nothing wrong with doing it if you like it. I've seen a couple bikes around here running it that way. Give it a shot.
