I've crossed the strait a number of times on both interislander and on my last trip in december with strait shipping. Found the deck crew on strait shipping obliging / considerate of motorcyclists. Also at Christmas I couldn't get on the interislander but in fact strait shipping turned out to cheaper anyway. Also on the way south i was able to use one of the free bunks they provide truck drivers.I use my own tie downs (4) as said already by Koko place machine on side stand, i engage first gear also, and use tie down at each corner (left and right side of handlebar through handlebar brace on 1150GS and through pannier rails (either side) at rear. Each tie down is fastened to fixing/eyes in the ships deck. I also chock the wheels with rubber chocks found on most of the vessels of both lines.Have great travels in the magic south island - cheers Aslan 🙂
