I was always amazed at the motorcycle shop I worked at. People would buy a $13,000 Harley and then were too cheap to buy a $20 set of tiedowns. They wouldn't even buy the $10 cheap tiedowns (1992 prices). They would be tying their new bike down in their pickup with binder twine that we gave them. However, I don't recall anyone ever coming back and admitting that they lost one.
If you really want to be worried, start thinking about what may be in the enclosed van trailers from the major freight lines.
I was involved with helping a trucker from a well known freight line load a new Ford - New Holland 8N Boomer tractor into an enclosed truck. He couldn't drive it so I drove it into the trailer for him. I got off and told him he could tie it down now. He said I could tie it down if I wanted. It wasn't my tractor and I had no responsibility for it and my philosophy is that the trucker is responsible for securing his load. However, I was slightly panicked that he was going to haul this thing 400 miles with no tie downs. He managed to come up with 4 1" motorcycle tiedowns and I strapped the tractor (with loader) down in his trailer with them.
