Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycles are not like cars. They are lighter, more exposed, and much easier to damage if you do not handle them correctly. You cannot just hook a chain to a motorcycle and drag it behind a tow truck. The wheels can lock up, the transmission can get damaged, and the paint can get scratched. Bikes need to be secured properly and transported in a way that keeps them upright and stable.

At ModernHelp Friendswood Towing, we understand how much your bike means to you. Whether you ride a cruiser, sportbike, dirt bike, or touring motorcycle, we treat it like it is our own. We use the right equipment and techniques to load, secure, and transport your bike without causing any damage. Our drivers are trained to handle motorcycles specifically, not just cars and trucks.

Most of our motorcycle tows use a flatbed tow truck. We load your bike onto the bed, strap it down securely, and transport it with all the wheels off the ground. This method eliminates the risk of your bike tipping over or rolling during transport. It is the safest way to move a motorcycle, and it is what we recommend for every tow.

Loading Your Bike

When we arrive, we lower the flatbed to the ground and create a ramp. If your bike runs and can roll, we carefully wheel it up the ramp. If your bike is not rolling or you are not comfortable moving it, we use a winch to pull it up the bed slowly and carefully. We never force anything or rush the process. Your bike goes onto the bed safely, every time.

Securing Your Bike

Once your bike is on the bed, we use heavy-duty straps to lock it down. We attach the straps to solid points on your bike, usually the handlebars or frame, and we make sure the bike stays upright. We tighten everything down so your bike cannot tip, shift, or move during the drive. Some towing companies skip this step or do it carelessly, but we take our time and do it right.

Transporting Your Bike

With your bike secured, we hit the road. Our drivers avoid sudden stops and sharp turns. We drive smoothly and carefully because we know your bike is back there. Whether we are going across town or handling a long-distance tow, we treat your motorcycle with respect the whole way.

Unloading Your Bike

When we reach the destination, we reverse the process. We lower the bed, release the straps, and carefully roll or winch your bike off the truck. We hand over the keys and make sure everything is good before we leave. If you have questions or need anything else, we are happy to help. We do not rush off until you are satisfied.
