Motorcycles Need a Different Kind of Care
There’s no such thing as “just a bike.” Anyone who rides knows it’s more than metal and rubber, but a reflection of who we are. So when it comes to Laurel motorcycle towing, we don’t treat it like any other job. Whether it’s chrome-plated muscle or a well-worn cruiser with stories in its scratches, your motorcycle means something. And when it’s time to move it—from an accident scene, to a new home, or to a show where it’ll be the centerpiece—it needs to be towed with intention, not just equipment.
Not Every Tow Is an Emergency
Not all motorcycle towing is about breakdowns and crashes. Sure, we get those calls. But there are plenty of times your ride might need a tow for reasons that have nothing to do with damage.
Common Reasons to Tow Motorcycles
- You’re moving across the country and don’t want to rack up miles or risk road damage
- You’ve entered a bike show or rally and want your motorcycle delivered in pristine condition
- A custom bike won’t start but you want it looked at by your trusted mechanic, not the nearest shop
- You had a flat, and you’re stranded in a spot where roadside fixes won’t cut it
Bikes Need Different Handling Than Cars
When your bike’s in trouble, it doesn’t get the same kind of treatment we’d give a passenger vehicle. That’s because motorcycles are uniquely built and uniquely loved. There’s no bumper to hook to. No closed cabin to secure. It’s all frame, balance, and exposed components.
A car tow can be routine. Motorcycle towing never is.
How We Handle Motorcycle Tows
When we tow a motorcycle, we think in terms of stability and compression not just “hook and haul.” Here’s a glimpse at our process:
- We use wheel chocks and soft straps that keep the bike upright and tight, without stressing the forks
- We anchor at solid frame points, never handlebars, never anything cosmetic
- We use flatbed or motorcycle-specific towing units to eliminate tipping or shifting
- Every tie-down is checked and rechecked, because a bump in the road shouldn’t become a disaster in the truck
Our goal with Laurel motorcycle towing is always to deliver it just as it left: undamaged, untouched, and still yours in every sense.
It’s Personal for Riders—and for Us
We know what these bikes mean. Some have been handed down. Some built piece by piece in garages over months. Others have been through cross-country road trips, rainstorms, and sunny Sunday rides.
That’s why we take every call for Laurel motorcycle towing seriously, even if it’s just a show bike that needs to make it to the next town over. To us, it’s not “just a bike.” It’s your ride, your pride, your history. Our Laurel motorcycle towing team can handle bikes fresh from a crash and bikes fresh from the paint booth.
