Lee,
Lots of good gouge above. My tuppence worth (and I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, I'm assuming you've never done this before.):
Find a guy with a longbed (8') pickup truck, or go rent one. A shortbed will work, but the tailgate won't clear.
Get a set of four to six soft-ties/cheaters/loops to make up to the bike.
Go to Sams or equal; they sell good quality ratcheting tiedowns. You'll need at least four, six is preferred.
You'll need a ramp of some sort. Wider is better (Sorry, I know Pontiac ruined that line.).
The 'Triple is a piece of cake to tie down, as it has the big bars, and the stout passenger footpeg brackets.
First, try to back the truck into a ditch, so the tailgate is closer to the ground. Rig the ramp so it can't move. Put the bike in the back of the truck. Put the bike in gear to prevent it rolling. Center the front and back wheels. Put the sidestand down, and leave it down until you unload the bike (You'll find out why when you trip out the front tiedowns (Throttle side first)).
When you ratchet down the bike, don't go crazy; just take the bike down evenly, starting with the clutch side, until you cannot push the bike down with your weight. Don't overcompress the forks. Doing so may damage them, and I've seen several truck beds where the front panel was bent forward because of overexuberant tiedowns.
Make up the rear tiedowns to the footpeg brackets. Tension them to the point where your weight does not compress the rear shock further.
Use the fifth and sixth tiedowns to immobilize the front wheel. I make up a cheater to the bottom of each fork, looping them around the axle. Take the other end to the cleat in either front corner of the bed (Should be the same one the handlebar tiedowns are made up to).
I have rigged my F-150 with stakehole cleats, where I can attach preventers, but I usually use them only when I'm hauling two bikes.
Lastly, use some wire/string/duct tape, etc. to tie up the tails from the tiedowns. You don't want all that strap flailing around, especially since they could get fouled under the back tires!
Do a good walkaround to ensure none of the straps are close to the bike's bodywork, and you are good to go!
However, the better answer is to ride the bike home.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!
