A motorcycle (or similar vehicle) transport tie-down system utilized an apparatus including a base track attachable to a truck or trailer bed and a pair of upright posts that adjustably engage the track, and each post has a longitudinal hole and one or more openings crossing the longitudinal hole. There is a rod member having an elongate body for insertion into the post longitudinal hole, and the rod has a number of projecting ribs and a cap portion to engage a motorcycle foot peg. There are further one or more latching or locking pins for insertion into the openings and engaging the rod between the ribs. Once the apparatus is erected, a motorcycle may be positioned on the bed over the track and the posts engaged to the track and moved adjacent the foot pegs. Then the rods engaged to the foot pegs and inserted into the posts, and the pins inserted into the posts thereby preventing movement of the motorcycle relative the bed for transport. Preferably the track is configured like a ramp so the motorcycle can be easily moved across, and preferably the motorcycle is pushed down slightly prior to being locked in place such that through its shock absorbers it is spring loaded.
