Any time I have transported a bike in my pickup truck in the past I have stuck the front wheel up against the front of the truck box, tied the handle bars crossways to the truck tie downs, tied the front wheel so it won't kick out sideways, and put two ties on the rear for good measure. I have always done this with the bike sitting on both wheels as I was told many many years ago that a centre stand is just not engineered to take the stresses of being bounced around in a moving vehicle. Never had a problem but was just curious on what everyone else does, centre stand or no centre stand? Any consensus?
The main reason I am asking is that just booked my RV spot in Florida for this winter . It's about a 2,000+ km trip each way and the bike is going with me.
