Yep.... +1

I have hauled bikes thousands of times (raced/practiced motocross for many years in my youth).... Never once used a kickstand or center stand.

A strap on each side up front minimum with front wheel in guide or against front truck bed and on open trailers, a strap/straps on back.

I have never had a bike fall while transporting.
