Who uses a wheel chock to hold their bike?

So I was looking for a wheel chock because I get leery of my dogs playing outside and possibly knocking over the bike. I watched some reviews on YT and liked the one Harbor Freight had (link below). After doing some searching online for discount codes, the best I could find was 20% off. It is $70 online so $70x20%=$14 off. $70-$14=$56


BUT.....in the back of my Sportrider mag there are some HF coupons and one of them is for this same item and has it on sale for $46. The code for the coupon in case anyone wants to order online and have it shipped is 20145994 with an exp of 10/5/12


Its very heavy and well made. Im sure its not the best one on the market but it does of good job of doing whats its made to do.....which is holding my bike.

Personally, I think unless you don't have any kind of hard surface to park your bike on, and it's just going to sit in the grass, you are wasting your money. At least from my experience because of the decent lean the bike puts on the side stand, and how wide the center stand is, your dogs would have to full bore jump at the thing to even make it questionable...unless of course you have some kind of horse size dogs.

LOL....funny you mention it. Ive got a male Rott, M&F Dobe and 3 Mastiffs

I can see where the grass would be a bad idea but I park my bike outside in the driveway unless its bad weather and then I bring it in the shop.
