Thank you all for the advice. I'll see about securing the bike inside
the truck.

Apartment in Midtown and job at Rice. Are you in the area?

I agree with Phil, the money allocated to fixing potholes on I-10
between New Orleans and Vinton Louisiana isn't making it into the roads.
When I transport a bike I tie it down without the side stand, but you
can use it if you want, the key is to really cinch down the straps to
compress the suspension. Run the straps through the triple tree and
ratchet down until you take 3 or 4 inches out of the shocks. In back I
usually strap to the grab bar, I'm not sure if the 90s bikes have
anything like that.
Btw, what part of Houston are you moving to?

Seriously, like Dave said, you don't need no stinkin' trailer.
Then backing up is a raw deal and time waster.
Tie it as secure as you can with buffer loads around it (on far back
end of load).
Just use common freight loader and material handling sense.
The roads really suck between Central LA and TX border line
(somebody's been keeping Fed Expressway taxes),
but they get much better after you get over the TX line (Orange
County, TX.) Smooth sailing to Houston: well the whole
trip is really nice except from Central LA to TX border (i.e. don't
travel at night during this leg of trip, it could end up a nightmare
- i.e. no street lamps, anywhere in cities or expressway, freakin'
spooky.)
Good luck!

Dear Nighthawkers-who-have-__recently-moved,
I have an upcoming move (Atlanta->Houston) and wanted some
feedback on a couple options for moving the bike ('97 CB750).
Since the trailer rating of the Nighthawk is rather low :),
UHaul seems the best choice. Would you suggest:
1. Carry the Nighthawk on a trailer behind the box truck
2. Load the Nighthawk into the box truck
Moving to Atlanta several years back, I had a CB250 loaded into
a 10' box truck, sitting on the kickstand with a couple ropes to
keep it from falling over. That worked just fine. Would the
heaver CB750 be alright riding in the truck on the kickstand
(with some support ropes), or do I need to tie it down on just
the wheels?
Cheers,
