Thanks
I had to truck mine last year and contacted a few companies for the best price, read up on there websites too. Every one reminded me, don't do it. Why ? Bad experience and therefore the warning ! The rational ? When the truck goes through bigger bumps in the road the weight seen by the side- or main stand can go up significantly. Imagine the truck hits a curb (etc.), the m/c gets accelerated vertically with 4g (which ain't even much), the stand sees 4 times the weight it usually sees, or it's been designed for. Much worse accelerations are possible.
Truck or trailer, enough pressure on the tires (on the high side), bike straight up, handle bar straight, and tie-downs as needed - check a few youtube videos if unsure.
