Okay, let me rephrase that. For those of us who don't have lawyer money, property used ratchet straps work just fine. I've been hauling motorcycles for years without any fancy who ha. Just properly used ratchet straps. Ask anyone who has seen me haul five bikes on a 12 foot long trailer to the gap whether it works or not. The problem with ratchet straps is, 98% of the people don't know how to use them correctly.
