We normally have two motorcycles in the garage when we travel. We would like to get ideas on the best way to transport two bicycles and one motorcycle. We have rings in the floor as tie down points. Is there something I can build to utilize the floor attachments and secure the bikes. All ideas welcome!

We just cover our bikes with packing blankets so they don't get beat up. Also that way there isn't any stress on the wheels/frames.

If the bikes have the quick release skewers then you could use a quick release mount on a small frame secured to the floor/D-rings.

That's not actually my bike. I just snaked one of the photos from the PVC Rack instructions.

My son and I built a PVC rack like the one in the photo. Worked great. Built it to hold 4 bikes. Just used a bunch of bungee cords to hold the bikes. Never a problem.
