Strap-mounted motorcycle chock and method

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for highly flexible placement of one or more wheel chocks on a transport to thereby support one or more motorcycles. The wheel chocks are preferably mounted to the transport utilizing flexible straps. When the straps are under tension, then the wheel chock is urged in a first direction towards the motorcycle wheel. Additional straps may secure the motorcycle to the transport such that when the additional straps are under tension then the motorcycle is urged in a second direction toward the wheel chock. In a preferred embodiment, the first direction and second direction are substantially opposite so that movement of the wheel chock and motorcycle is prevented.

       7 . The method for mounting a wheel chock to a transport to support a motorcycle, said motorcycle having a first wheel and a second wheel on an opposite end of said motorcycle from said first wheel, said method comprising: 
 providing a wheel chock sized for said first wheel;    connecting one or more wheel chock straps to said wheel chock; and    mounting said wheel chock to said transport by connecting said one or more wheel chock straps to said transport.    
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 connecting a first plurality of motorcycle straps between said motorcycle and said transport;    biasing said motorcycle in a first direction with respect to said transport utilizing said plurality of wheel chock straps under tension; and    biasing said motorcycle in a second direction with respect to said transport utilizing said first plurality of straps under tension, said first direction and said second direction being opposing such that said motorcycle is held in a stationary position with respect to said transport.    
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein said first direction and said second direction are substantially opposite directions.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising connecting a second plurality of motorcycle straps between said motorcycle and said transport such that said second wheel of said motorcycle is prevented from moving laterally with respect to said trailer.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising connecting a second plurality of straps between said wheel chock and said motorcycle.
