I haul mine in my pickup all the time . Anyway just make sure your kickstand is down & cut loose the right hand strap & the bike will rest on the kickstand then all you have to do is unhook the left hand strap . TIP leave left strap alone so when you put the bike on the trailer again you can put bike on kickstand hook up left strap & then hook right strap you will only have to rachet right strap , everything will fall back into place .
