It took two hours to remove the truck and trailer. Twenty-one miles out on a bridge we lost control due to black ice struck the guardrail then went down a very steep bank approaching 70 degrees did not roll and landed several yards in a swampy area. I purchased one of your wheel chalks for my bike trailer at the International Bike Show in Chicago.The following weekend my boyfriend and I hauled his almost new Harley Davidson Lowrider to Gadsden, Alabama.We encountered snow in Kentucky and Tennessee, Alabama had black ice and I-65 was a mess we proceeded on a less traveled road to Gadsden. Did I mention parking the bikes in the garage is so much easier? Really, just a thank you for a great product and a statement that everything you say the Condor is, well it’s that or more. Why didn’t I do this many years ago? Not only is loading the bikes now a one man job but the stability of the bikes is unmatched. Two Condor trailer-\ stop units have been put on my trailer and while two tie-downs per bike would do the job I put a set on a canyon dancer for that piece of mind. While quite impressive I wasn’t ready to drop over $500.00 for two trailer-stop units. Attending the Red Bull Indianapolis GP last year I saw Condor being demonstrated. To help with my piece of mind I have used six tie-downs per bike and even with this I could see the wobble on a curvy or bumpy road. I have used everything from the front wheel tied to the front of the trailer, 2X4’s, a 6X6 under the frame and lastly a pingel to hold the front end in a stable position. I have been riding and trailering motorcycles for over thirty years. Thanks, I will buy a second one for my new trailer some time down the road. The chock is very adjustable, the directions for installation and use are very good, and the bike stays upright after riding it into the chock. (last year with the Pingel chock my bike came loose and the handlebar went through the interior wall of the trailer). The bike stayed put the whole trip down and back this time. Both roads are in poor condition in many places with very dramatic pavement elevation changes, causing the trailer to catch air and bounce hard. The usual route goes through 1-80 and 1-680. I have a sport bike and a standard performance oriented bike. I travel from the Seattle area to Laguna Seca Raceway in Salinas, CA. It is a quantum leap from the Pingel chocks that came installed in the trailer when I bought it new several years ago. I purchased your wheel chock for hard mounting in a trailer (I have a Wells Cargo enclosed trailer with space for 2 bikes) last year.
