If it was me I would do it myself.....a prolonged legal tussle is no good to you when all you want is a few days away. They usually have the straps in a big bin thing so help yourself to plenty. If not then you really are stuffed! Think Camping and make a tent. Port and Starboard strapping is a waste of time if the ferry is pitching and rolling, Fore and Aft is not good in a swell. You need one over the top via the seat ( with a glove whatever if your that bothered about a bit of muck) AND some ties at 45 degrees to the bike to stop it moving for and aft. The bloody straps DO work loose so in gear and the sidestand will work for you. If you have a calm crossing then go eat, if not then camp out with the bike. Is it beyond the wit of man/women to think of something better? Its a disgrace i tell you...we should have iron boxes filled with Cheesy wotsits for packing.......
