Yes.
I don't have enough holiday to do all the trips I want so spending 2 days to gets somewhere by bike and then 2days back just eats up my holiday.
I'm planning a trip to Scotland (I live in south coast) and stay in the van. Each day I'll go out for a ride. Doing the miles to get there in a van is easy but riding 500miles on a motorway is just boring and tiring.
I have been known to take a few bikes and ride a different one on each day, but thats showing off.
I made a plate up that fits into the middle row seat mounts that holds a wheel chock, the 690 fits perfectly
I really like that idea. Where did you buy the wheel holders from or did you make them?
It's an acebikes steady stand.
I built a bike trailer a few years ago that uses three of them on a flat base, just unbolt off the trailer and bolt into the van if I only need to move 1 bike.
I fitted some short strips of unwin rail in the floor in the back luggage area and use the motoclix restraints to help keep the bike stable around corners and such.

I like this idea found on the Ducati forum
I've just made something like this but uses the tie down points to stop any movement.
Nice and easy to remove when seats need reinstalled and looks very strong. Ill find out on Saturday when my ramp turns up and can actually try it

That's a tidy job, please can you tell us how exactly you secured it to the seat mounts?
I want to do something similar to my Combi.
I am currently doing a very similar thing, using a 5mm steel plate and mounting the front wheel chock and a 12 Volt winch. Picking up on the seat mounts and using 2 hooks and 2 threaded hooks also. Hope to have it all ready for welding next weekend. Will stick some photos on.

Great stuff, be good to see the finished job.
I also have this same ramp, works really well
So yesterdays drilling grinding and tack welding into position. Followed by a bit more grinding and welding (badly).
