How do you tie your Blaster to truck Bed?

[DUALSTROKE]

BTW has anyone ever loaded 2 Quads in the back of their truck? I saw a picture of one before GUy had one atv standing verticle with front tires touching top of roof, and the other tied down normal. I woiuld love to see a picture of this if anyne has one.

Been transporting quads this way for years.I stand one blaster up in the bed and push it as far up as I can.I also have a back rack which is nice to tie off to.Then I put one in right behind it on all 4 tires. 4 tie down straps per bike and you are good to go.Thats what you have to do when you only have a 6 foot bed!! Works perfect.

Never said to keep it in gear or not to. My point was that the Quad shouldn't be moving if its strapped in right.

Totally agree with you, if strapped correctly with a good quality product it should not move.

Problem lies with the quality of the strap, and quality of the work provided by the strapper!

I have seen guys use 5 or 6 tie downs, and when they arrive at the track the bike is walking all over the bed of the transporter.

Some folks just cannot seem to grasp the idea of placing the ends of the straps at a place where they will not move and loosen.

Cheap restraints are also prone to stretching which will allow the load to move, heck, I have even witnessed straps that have come undone and arrive flapping in the breeze.

Going back to my original statement, no vehicle should ever be transported in gear, because wear will be caused to unlubricated components.

I don't agree with this personally. All lubacated parts hold a film of oil so there not running dry. There's no heavy load being put on parts with the small amount of movement in a normal hauling situation. A small amour of rocking would be taken up by the slack in the chain. A small movement in the piston would only add extra wear over YEARS and that's ONLY if the rings rested in the same spot in the cylinder EVERY time. You get more wear from just kicking over after sitting for a day then you get from a little rocking while being hauled. I'm not saying you or I are right or wrong. Just giving my opinion.
