Great input from all of you! I will take these tips to heart when I use it for real.

I wholeheartedly agree with either using a zip tie on the clutch lever and / or removing the chain.

Great tip about the strap hooks coming out of the eyelets. I will wrap the straps thru the eylets, and back up to the ring in the hook.

I agree that the lean angle, only in a full lock turn, is scary.

Backing up is impossible, as I cannot see the rear of the MC, just the handlebars, which don't pivot.

I will not load the MC by the rear wheel. I agree that this would not only have too much weight on the tongue ( 200 lbs max - for me ), but would be severly unstable in transit.

I will not use this method for a MC that I care about, just for my parts / project pick ups .
