I come from the school of attaching the rear straps to points forward, in the same direction as the front tie-downs; however, in Sport Rider a few months ago, they advise attaching them to points rearward, in the opposite direction of the front tie-downs. I have seen both methods used here and elsewhere.
My line of thinking was that if the front strap(s) failed, the rear straps would continue to hold the bike into the wheel chock, lessening the chances of the bike tipping over.
What say you?
