The locking tab is on the right side on mine.
Mine is an older one and is slightly different than bwhip's - which I assume is newer and the same as yours.

You need to get that freakish driveway slope fixed.

But I was in the garage. You're right though, I'm afraid to use the Baxley on the driveway for fear that gravity will pull the bike out of it.

Actually, to me, it makes more sense to have it on the left side if you're only going to have it on one side (and I mean left as in the same as the left side of the bike), because most people handle their bike from the left side.

Does yours have the steel loop welded on down low between the front uprights? What's that for?

Nope, and I don't know.

Making sense to you doesn't mean much, dumbass.

Be sure to get your bike in straight/level. I had the RC in a bit cocked to one side and it fell over (by sliding the Baxley on the cement floor) Granted I should have had it in straight and it is the mass of an RC but Now I need to get some blingy levers and I put a notch in the track plastic Not the way to start the day.

cocked how? Vertically or horizontally?

[Baketech]

I bet the little lock had fallen into place while the chock was open...keeping it from closing all the way....

Think rolled on the end to end axis toward one side (like a bike sets on the stand but not as far)

Nope the lock was not set which likely would have prevented it.

I believe the bike was applying a torque to the device by my poor alignment and spun the chock which then rotated down (not locked) and released and spit out and away from the bike. A guess, as it happened in the middle of the night.

Maybe a misunderstanding...was the lock keeping the chock from clamping in place maybe? This can happen if it falls down while the chock is open...everything looks cool, but the chock isn't rolled past center and heinous things can happen...

Geez sheep.

No and the lock was not set either. I understand you point as that is easy to but you can usually tell as it doesn't feel right. This was fine and in the stand for 3 days fine (luckily the RR was not nearby). But I do remember it being cocked left a bit (bad habit of mine).

I would imagine that a vertical torque on the check would prevent the tire from becoming fully engaged in the mechanism...

I have been doing the "jiggle" check everytime I leave it. Giving it a good shake to make sure it is secure. I have no idea if that actually does anything however

I was laughing at your uber geeky explanation, not the mishap. We all screw up...ask my poor MV.

What DID happen to the MV? I heard about something but never read the story...
