When I get a trailer...

I woner how this $45 (GSXR1000) unit stacks up against the Pit Bull rig?

I didn't even know what it was until I clicked on the link.

Seems like it'd be a lot easier to just tie it down.

Come on I just want to rub it on it a little, I won't actually put it in....

Well, it looks like you just roll your bike up and run the rod through the axle hole and lock it down and TA DA!!! you're all set!

Straps can be a fucking pain depending on the situation.

This came out before the Pit Bull System.

Works basically the same except I think the Strapless System actually lifts the rear tire off the ground. The other issue is that the bike has to be pulled back onto this sytem rather than being pushed into place.

I've seen the Pit Bull in action and it seems like about the easiest possible way to load 'n' lock a bike.

The only draw back saw with the PB was that it takes up extra space because the bracket hangs behind the bike.

Then I saw a pic of a guy that had it mounted in front of the rear tire and felt retarded.

I just realized I have spent way too much time and energy on this post.

The Pit Bull system will be in my next trailer.

I'd buy the one you know works made by PIT-BULL. They support our sport and support the racers. Cheap knock-offs are not worth it to me.

I'd rather just strap my bikes down because sometimes there isn't enough room for 2 chalks in the same truck bed without touching bars/plastic.

Straps allow you move the bikes how you want, you just have to know how to secure them properly and most importantly, efficiently.
