Motorcycle Towing

Why Specialized Motorcycle Towing Matters

Your motorcycle is not a car. It requires special care when being moved, especially if it cannot roll on its own. Standard towing methods that work for cars can cause serious damage to your bike. We use equipment designed specifically for motorcycles, protecting your ride from scratches, dings, and mechanical issues during transport.

Whether you have a cruiser, sport bike, touring bike, or dirt bike, our team knows how to handle it. We understand the balance points, how to secure fairings without cracking them, and how to protect chrome and paint finishes. This is not something you want to trust to just anyone.

We serve riders throughout Des Moines, WA and surrounding areas with fast response times and careful handling. When your bike breaks down on the road or you need to move it to a new location, we treat it like our own. Your motorcycle deserves the same level of care you put into maintaining it.

How We Transport Your Bike Safely

We use flatbed trucks equipped with soft tie-downs and wheel chocks specifically designed for motorcycles. Your bike is never dragged, lifted by its wheels, or transported in a way that puts stress on the frame or suspension. Everything is secured properly so your bike stays upright and stable during the entire trip.

Our Motorcycle Transport Process

• Inspect your bike and assess the best loading method based on its type and condition
• Use a low-angle ramp or hydraulic lift to minimize the load angle
• Secure the bike with soft straps that will not scratch paint or chrome
• Double-check all tie-down points and wheel chocks before departure
• Transport your bike directly to your chosen destination with no unnecessary stops

This method works for running bikes and non-running bikes. If your motorcycle has a mechanical issue and the wheels will not turn, we have equipment to handle that too. We also offer long-distance motorcycle transport for moves across the state or region.

Common Motorcycle Towing Situations

Breakdowns happen, even with regular maintenance. Maybe your clutch cable snapped, your battery died in a parking lot, or you ran out of gas on a long ride. We handle all types of motorcycle towing situations quickly and professionally.

Accident Recovery

If you have been in an accident, your bike may not be rideable. We work with insurance companies and can tow your motorcycle to a repair shop or storage facility. Our team is trained in accident recovery and vehicle retrieval, so we can safely move your bike even if it is damaged.

Moving and Relocation

Selling a bike? Buying one from across town? Moving to a new home and do not want to ride your motorcycle in bad weather? We can transport your bike for you. This is also a great option if you are taking your motorcycle to a track day or motorcycle event and want to save miles on your bike.

Mechanical Issues on the Road

Engine trouble, transmission problems, or a flat tire you cannot fix on the spot. When your bike cannot move under its own power, we get it to safety. We tow to repair shops, your home, or anywhere else in the Des Moines area you need.
