Trying to decide what type of chocks to purchase and install on the TH for hauling 2 street bikes. Have looked at the Pingel(have heard mixed reviews on these). Found these ones on Ebay : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=4631977130&rd=1
Would like some feedback as to what you think. Or suggestions!! Thanks.

When I haul my Suzuki VS800 on the utility trailer, I use a shoe type wheel chock.
One like >THIS<
Also permits for a strap to go over the wheel itself, allowing the bike's suspension to absorb many of the road bumps.

Thanks Vintager! I have not seen these before. Would definitely be interested in these for the open trailer but I forgot to be more specific on my earlier posting I need them to be removable as I don't have a seperate garage on the TH.

I have a Fuzion 362 and haul our Harley's in the garage. I have a Road Glide and a Heritage Springer, my wife has a Dyna Low Rider and Honda Rebel. We usually have two of the bikes with us when traveling. I opted for the Baxley LA Chocks. I use them in the RV and at the house for service and cleaning of the bikes. I don't have them mounted to the RV floor, but will likely do that this winter. I'll design some type of quick mount for the Baxleys to a base plate under the floor.
Any brand of the roll-in chocks make loading the bikes in the RV so much easier. The bike stands upright while you get the straps on.

I'll post another plug for my bolt-it-on system. A great solution, depending on your needs.

Might want to look at these folks. Lots of good ideas in this catalog.

I purchased the condor trailer only chocks and the beveled aluminum L-track for my KZ New Vision 40P. Love the Condor chocks! MUCH better than the pingles that I have in my haulmark.
Very knowledgeable people here and service was great.

Northern Tools has drive in wheel chocks,$39.00 . I bought two, bolted them to 5/8 4x8 plywood and secured it to the floor of my toy hauler. I strap a road glide and wide glide in, works great!

I bought a couple of chocks from Harbor Freight for $40 ea. Rather than hard mount them, I use a rubber mats and ratchet tie downs. That way I can place them where ever I want. I use three straps for each chock, two from behind and one looped from the front, the rubber mat to protect the floor prevent slippage. After the chock is secured, I the strap the bikes with a Canyon Dancer on the bars and straps to the rear of the bike. So basically it works out to seven straps and one chock per motorcycle. I carried a Suzuki 1200 Bandit & Moto Guzzi California touring bike.
You can place chocks where ever you want and take them out whenever you want, no holes in the floor. The downside, I did have one of the WalMart straps fail one bike did fall over and did minor damage, this however was one of the straps on the Canyon Dancer, not on the chocks.
