I read the other post about carrying a bike in a minivan. I am making this post just to make sure you folks read this.
You can do as you wish, but personally I think it is VERY dangerous....or can be. I am only making this post to trigger your brain to realize that a 350-500lb bike can mean instant death if you came to a sudden stop...like rear ending a car or taking the ditch. Like I said in the other post, I learned that when I ditched my Bronco in the winter with a 150lb or so tool chest. Mind you, it was not strapped down, but do you really have faith in those straps if you come to a dead stop from 60-70mph?
Not trying to discourage you. Only wondering if you thought of the risk involved. I might risk it on a short trip, but not a long haul...especially on winter roads.
