Tying a bike down

[Alex@POD]

Hi all, I am off to pick up my new bike tomorrow and I will be bringing it back in a van... What is the best way to tie it down? is the rear section of the chassis strong enough to support a strap? I will be using some of them 2" ratchet straps...

It's a 1998 Kawasaki ZX6R by the way...

Will post some pics when I get it...

Should I keep the bike upright or rest it on the stand?

Oh DO come along. Bike... tying down... you lot are hard work sometimes.

sorry

I'm sure I can get the "tying down" bit, but the bike has me completely lost... It is sunday morning after all and I got back from work at about 3.30AM...

Thanks guys, good advice... I used one strap over the front and one over the back (strapped it 3 hours ago), with side stand, and it has been fine. I can barely contain my excitement though, I can't wait to pass my license in 2 weeks...

Wedgie, this is dodgy humour... Now I think I know what you mean but I guess my mind isn't twisted enough yet...
