It seems as though the only way to get to Port Macquarie in time for the September ride is to trailer the Ural.
I've searched the forum using "tie downs" "tiedowns" "trailering" "towing" but haven't come up with what I want.
Basically, all I want is a consensus on where on the Ural you attach tie down straps, and what kind of straps you would use. I have a bunch of ideas myself, but, having never trailered the Ural before, thought a wider audience may want to chime in.

All I did when I stuck it in the back of the Ute was to make sure the front wheel couldn't move backwards, rear wheel couldn't move forwards and the chair wheel was held down.
I let the suspension do its thing and given the bike weighs 300+ kgs it tends not to move around much anyway.
Can't see a trailer would be all that different.
Be interesting to see what the trailer people say?

Miker. I have a tandem 6 x 10. You probably need some light channel or blocks of wood to prevent sideways movement. Especially with a box trailer. OR you could end up with bits rubbing on the trailer sides. I have 680kg ratchet straps off 1.25 tonne anchors in the trailer bed. A pair on the front and a crossed pair on the back. A single on the chair near the footstep holding it down. Straps attaching to the Ural frame only. Leave the suspension to do its thing as Andy said.

Thanks Andy and Haitch, it’s actually a three bike trailer so has channels. Thanks for the tips on positions for straps.   |
