DANG!! I'm humbled!
this may make you feel bad, I talked to 2 women motorcycle riders in Clovis, NM yesterday who left Naples ,Fl and went to Sturgis. they're coming back through NM, heading to OKC, and then back to Naples. they only reason they were there was to get some new tires. Now, that's a ride.
<LOL!> Thanks!

I bought the free-standing Condor at Sturgis for $245 shipped. It got to the house a few days ago, can't wait to try it out!
The first time I saw a wheel chock like this was when the tow truck came and picked me up. He had one mounted on a creeper with an eyebolt on the front, I thought it was a genius idea. You could ride into the chock, get off the bike, and push it around wherever you want put it. He hooked his cables up to it and wenched it up onto his rollback.
It DOES NOT work if your front tire is flat though. I know that from experience, so don't try it.

3 condors in my enclosed trailer for over three years now and never had a problem! Even pulled the trailer with bikes through the "Dragons Tail", if you've ever been down that stretch of road you know what I went through... Scott has a nice set-up and sells these through his E-bay store! Have friends who swear by the Baxleys or HF's as well... So, I guess it just comes down to personal pref and $$$. I would recommend two things for your chock,
1. Wheel strap to tie your front wheel to the chock about a $4 item.
2. Make sure the tie down straps you use aren't the open ended kind (S hook); instead opt for some that have keepers.... Seen a few not so fortunate folks over the years have there bikes torn up from leaning over after a trailer flexed and came out of the tie down hook... They make these in both styles, Ratchet and Pull either will do the job!
