Motorcycle Towing

Why Motorcycles Need Special Towing

Motorcycles are not small cars. They require different equipment, different loading techniques, and different handling during transport. Standard car towing methods do not work for bikes. You cannot hook a chain to a motorcycle and drag it onto a truck. Doing so would damage the frame, scratch the paint, and possibly bend critical components like the forks or exhaust.

At SolidLift Watertown Towing, we use specialized equipment designed specifically for motorcycles. Our team understands how to handle bikes safely, from cruisers and sport bikes to touring models and custom builds. We treat your motorcycle with the same respect you do, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition.

How We Transport Your Motorcycle

We use a flatbed truck with a motorcycle wheel chock to keep your bike upright and stable during transport. Here is how the process works:

• We carefully roll your motorcycle onto the flatbed using a ramp
• The front wheel is secured in a chock to keep the bike upright
• We use soft tie-down straps to secure the bike without scratching the finish
• We double-check all straps and connections before we move
• Your bike is transported with the same care we would use for our own

Our method keeps your motorcycle stable, prevents scratches, and protects delicate parts. If you need to move a car along with your motorcycle, we also provide flatbed towing for vehicles of all types.

Common Situations for Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycle breakdowns happen for many reasons. Your bike might not start, your chain could break, or you might run out of fuel in an area without gas stations nearby. Sometimes accidents happen, and your bike is too damaged to ride. In all of these situations, trying to push or ride a damaged motorcycle can make things worse.

We also help riders who are relocating, selling or buying bikes, or transporting motorcycles for seasonal storage. If you need help right away, our 24/7 emergency towing service can get to you fast, even in the middle of the night.
