What Is Motorcycle Towing?

Motorcycle towing requires specialized equipment and techniques that differ completely from standard vehicle recovery. We use wheel chocks, tie-down straps, and loading ramps designed specifically for two-wheeled vehicles — no improvising with car equipment that can damage your bike's frame, fairings, or suspension components.

Most motorcycle breakdowns happen at the worst possible times: rush hour traffic, late-night rides, or weekend trips far from home. Whether your bike won't start, you've got a flat tire, or you've been in an accident, getting it transported safely requires proper securing methods. We position the motorcycle upright using adjustable wheel chocks, then apply multiple tie-down points at approved frame locations to prevent any shifting during transport.

Our flatbed trucks carry motorcycle-specific loading equipment including aluminum ramps rated for different bike weights and a winch system for bikes that can't be ridden onto the bed. The key is distributing the bike's weight properly and securing it at multiple points without over-tightening straps that could crack fairings or bend handlebars. Every motorcycle gets transported upright — never on its side — to prevent fuel leaks and fluid damage.

From sport bikes to cruisers to adventure touring rigs, each motorcycle type requires different securing points and considerations. We know where to attach straps on different frame styles and how to work around aftermarket accessories, windshields, and saddlebags without causing damage during the loading and transport process.

When Do You Need Motorcycle Towing?

Flat Tire Roadside

Motorcycle tire repairs require specialized tools most riders don't carry — we'll transport you and your bike to a shop that can handle the repair properly.

Won't Start Issues

Dead batteries, fuel system problems, or electrical failures can strand your bike anywhere — we'll get you both home safely.

Accident Scene Recovery

After any collision, your motorcycle needs professional transport even if damage appears minor — riding on compromised components is dangerous.

Mechanical Breakdown Transport

Engine problems, transmission issues, or clutch failures mean your bike needs a tow truck, not a risky ride to the repair shop.

Out of Fuel

Motorcycles have smaller fuel tanks and running out of gas happens — we'll bring fuel or transport you to the nearest station.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my motorcycle fit on your tow truck?
Our flatbeds accommodate everything from 125cc scooters to full-dress touring bikes and trikes. We carry adjustable wheel chocks and multiple tie-down configurations for different motorcycle sizes and styles.
Do you tow motorcycles that won't roll?
Yes, we use a winch system to load bikes with seized engines, locked wheels, or damaged suspension. The winch pulls your motorcycle onto the flatbed without requiring it to roll or run.
How do you prevent damage during transport?
We secure motorcycles at approved frame mounting points using soft-loop tie-downs that won't scratch or crack fairings. Every bike travels upright with multiple attachment points to prevent shifting during transport.
Can you tow my bike with a passenger?
We can transport one passenger in our truck cab along with the motorcycle. If you're traveling with a group, the other riders will need to follow separately or arrange alternative transportation.
