The trike did 1550 mile trips to Wa and back for two seasons, so it was tied down with belts and suspenders.

:agree: .... When I came up with the " rachet strap over the tire " thing, I ran into he same issue ..... So I used a 2 ft. piece of 12 ga. " elec. house wire attached to the end of the strap .... this was much easier to feed over the tire and then pull the strap after it .....Mike :thumbup:
