What Is Motorcycle Towing?

Motorcycle towing requires specialized equipment and techniques that standard car towing simply can't provide. Unlike four-wheeled vehicles, motorcycles lack the structural points and stability needed for traditional wheel-lift methods. Our motorcycle towing service uses dedicated flatbed trucks and specialized loading equipment designed specifically for two-wheeled vehicles, ensuring your bike arrives at its destination without a scratch.

When your motorcycle breaks down, crashes, or simply won't start, the loading process becomes critical. We use hydraulic wheel chocks that secure your bike's front wheel, preventing any lateral movement during transport. Adjustable tie-down points distribute securing forces across the motorcycle's frame rather than relying on handlebars or other vulnerable components. Our operators position soft straps at manufacturer-recommended tie-down points, typically the triple clamp area up front and the rear swing arm or subframe.

The flatbed approach eliminates the risks associated with dolly systems or makeshift solutions. Your motorcycle rides completely level throughout transport, preventing fluid leaks and maintaining proper weight distribution. We carry ramp extensions and loading dollies to handle everything from lightweight sport bikes to heavy touring motorcycles and trikes. Each bike gets positioned with adequate clearance from the truck's cab and secured with a minimum of four tie-down points.

Our drivers understand that motorcycles aren't just transportation—they're often significant investments with custom modifications, delicate fairings, and sensitive components. That's why we take extra time during the loading process, using protective materials where straps contact painted surfaces and double-checking all connection points before departure. Whether you're dealing with a breakdown on I-5 or need transport after a parking lot incident, our specialized motorcycle towing ensures your bike gets the careful handling it deserves.

When Do You Need Motorcycle Towing?

Accident or Crash Recovery

When your motorcycle is damaged in an accident, specialized flatbed transport prevents further harm to bent wheels, damaged suspension, or compromised steering components.

Engine Failure or Breakdown

A seized engine, electrical failure, or mechanical breakdown leaves you stranded—our flatbed service gets you and your non-running bike safely to your preferred repair shop.

Custom or High-Value Bikes

Expensive touring bikes, custom choppers, and modified sport bikes need damage-free transport that protects expensive paint jobs, aftermarket parts, and delicate bodywork.

Trikes and Three-Wheelers

Can-Am Spyders, Harley trikes, and custom three-wheelers require specialized loading techniques and extra-wide flatbed positioning that standard towing can't accommodate.

Long-Distance Transport Needs

Moving across town, buying a bike from a private seller, or transporting to a distant repair facility—sometimes you need professional motorcycle hauling for non-emergency situations.
