A motorcycle (or similar vehicle) transport tie-down system utilized an
apparatus including a base track attachable to a truck or trailer bed and
a pair of upright posts that adjustably engage the track, and each post
has a longitudinal hole and one or more openings crossing the
longitudinal hole. There is a rod member having an elongate body for
insertion into the post longitudinal hole, and the rod has a number of
projecting ribs and a cap portion to engage a motorcycle foot peg. There
are further one or more latching or locking pins for insertion into the
openings and engaging the rod between the ribs. Once the apparatus is
erected, a motorcycle may be positioned on the bed over the track and the
posts engaged to the track and moved adjacent the foot pegs. Then the
rods engaged to the foot pegs and inserted into the posts, and the pins
inserted into the posts thereby preventing movement of the motorcycle
relative the bed for transport. Preferably the track is configured like a
ramp so the motorcycle can be easily moved across, and preferably the
motorcycle is pushed down slightly prior to being locked in place such
that through its shock absorbers it is spring loaded.
