How do you lash the Buddy down?

[Drumwoulf]

I need to take my Buddy 125 somewhere in my minivan. I’ve removed all the rear seats, so there’s both room and floor anchors (where the seats were attached) available.
Question: Where do I attach the lashing straps onto the Buddy for good grip, without breaking anything? A suggestion I read on a Vespa forum suggested putting the scoot on it’s centerstand and then lashing the floorboards down both fore and aft? But if I do this won't the Buddy's front wheel come up off the ground? And is that opkay?

I think it might also be a good idea to tie the brake levers closed with bungee cords too?

Any suggestions, experience, ideas here, would be greatly appreciated…

Thanks,

Get yourself 4 ratchet tiedowns and a Canyon Dancer Bar Harness for the front. http://www.canyondancer.com/


Tie down all 4 corners and don't put it on the centerstand, let the shocks absorb the bumps.

+1 on the dancers.

Also taking off the mirrors might help getting in and out of the mini van.

When on the center stand, I have put a strap thru the rear wheel to hold it down.

I haul scooters in my Toyota Sienna. It will actually hold 2 in the back.

I chock the front wheel with a board and then use 2 tiedowns. One on each handlebar. Do not mess with the brake levers.
