Carrying a motor bike on a pickup

[Kenny202]

Hi all. Just been away and realized it would have been a lot easier getting around if we had our motor bike. We have a little Honda Click scooter. I see a lot of pickups carting bikes around but wondering if it is possible to tie it down secure enough for 4 hour trips on Thai roads. Is it better to lay it down or put it on the side or centre stand? Any help appreciated

Standing up, all the way forward, strapped tight enough to compress the springs.

Don't use the stand, buy a good set of straps.

.... and take the bikes' book. I have been stopped before and asked for the book which I had.

Great answers! But I think you'll do better with this over in the bike forum. So, let's move the topic over there.

Good luck!

Strap it down centre stand, green book and don't forget the keys.
