i use 4 straps

1 for each grip
1 through subframe
1 to lash front wheel to end of ski on the trailer (i dont bother with this one in the van)

1 tie wrap to pull the front brake lever in to stop the bike moving.

u could use a 6ft scafold plank for the ramp, they are strong enough

Weve got a piece of decking as a ramp, if you see it bending thats just specially tuned flex for added performance :wink:
