I've never taken a bike on a ferry before all advice and suggestions welcome.
When I first glanced at this I thought I saw, "Fairies on Bikes"...
steveindenmark; When you strap down put the bike on the centre stand as it sits more securely. Steve[/QUOTE said:Just a thought here. I have found this to be a really bad idea. When a bike is on the center stand or kick stand it creates a sold point and when you encounter bumps and such it wants to scoot on either; especially when it is only strapped at the tree. I generally use the kick stand until I get the bike hooked up both front and rear. Then, before pulling the suspension down I will pull the stand up and drop the suspension to set the bike up for transport. This way, the bike would stay put and they could flip that boat upside down for all I care because the bike will still be there when they drag that ferry back up.
Hi mate,
I am also looking into this for trips to Ireland. One good bit of advice is. Let them tie your bike down. If it goes over you can claim on their insurance.
V Funny mate, I am serious though. My mum and dad toured Europe on his brand new Triumph Sprint.Your right mate.
But you also end up stuck in Ireland without a rideable bike.
Its my bike...I tie it down.
