What Is Motorcycle Towing?

Motorcycle towing is moving a bike that cannot be ridden. We roll or winch the bike onto a flatbed, set the front wheel in a chock, and tie it down with soft straps at strong points on the frame and bars. The bike stays upright the whole way.

We never tow a motorcycle with a wheel on the ground. That risks the bike falling and damage to the rear wheel and drive.

Signs Your Bike Needs a Tow

  • The bike will not start or dies while riding
  • A tire is flat or damaged
  • The chain or belt broke
  • The bike went down in a crash or a parking lot tip-over
  • You bought a bike that is not road legal yet
  • You need to get it to a dealer, shop or new home

Motorcycle Towing Options

Bikes ride on Flatbed Towing. After a crash, we follow the steps on Accident Towing. For trips to a far dealer or a rally, see Long Distance Towing. Vintage bikes get the same care we use on Classic Car Towing. If your bike just needs a start, ask about a Battery Jump Start.

Riding in North Texas

Riders here can be out most months of the year. That also means heat stress on batteries, tires and engines in the summer. Fast highways like LBJ, I-30 and US-380 leave little room on the shoulder for a stalled bike.

Spring and fall bring sudden storms with hail and heavy rain. Riders caught out often need a ride home for the bike while they get a ride for themselves.

What to Expect When We Arrive

  1. The driver checks the bike and notes any damage with you.
  2. We roll it up the deck or winch it slowly with a soft strap.
  3. We set the front wheel in a chock.
  4. We compress the suspension slightly with soft straps on both sides.
  5. We deliver it to your home, a shop or a dealer.

How to Get Your Bike Ready

  1. Remove saddlebag contents, helmets and loose gear.
  2. Have the key ready to unlock the steering.
  3. Tell us if the bike is in gear or the brakes are locked.
  4. Point out any aftermarket parts that we should avoid strapping to.

Motorcycle Towing Cost

The cost depends on the distance, the size of the bike and its condition. A downed bike or one with a locked wheel takes more time. Call dispatch for a quote. Some motorcycle insurance plans include towing.

Bikes We Tow
