Probably a question for the DD boys. Where is the best place to tie down a Monster when travelling? I have three ratchet straps plus other odds and ends. I am picking up a new toy tomorrow from Poole and bringing it back to the Midlands and want it secure. Any advice appreciated.

Take two straps and run them over the bottom yoke and pull them forward. Take a further two and put them through the frame where it goes back up towards the seat.

You should be able to shake the bike and feel the trailer move not the bike, because the suspension is under compression.

Thanks for the advice Chris

I only ever use two straps on mine. Taking one through the trellis just where it bends in to the front of the bike each side. Ratchet down tight - Job Done

4 straps better
If one fails, the bike wont fall. Always keeping in mind a strap can fail

Get a "bike grab" from these people. http://www.on-bike.com/index.htm

Thanks for the comments folks. We got it back safe and sound, the only issue is Mrs R has taken a shine to it and has no been comandered.
