Motorcycle Towing Built Around Keeping a Bike Upright
Wheel chocks and soft straps hold cruisers, sport bikes, trikes, scooters, and dirt bikes upright and secure for the ride to the shop or home.
A bike is not a car on two wheels
A motorcycle has no kickstand rated for a bumpy ride and no frame built to be dragged behind a wheel lift. It needs to go on a flatbed, upright, chocked, and strapped so it never leans on its own suspension during transport.
We load with a wheel chock at the front tire and soft straps run to solid mounting points, not the handlebars or fairings, so paint and cables stay untouched.
Cruisers, sport bikes, trikes, and more
Heavy cruisers, low sport bikes, adventure bikes, trikes, and scooters all load differently. A trike needs different strap points than a two wheeler, and a low sport bike with minimal ground clearance needs a ramp angle that will not scrape the fairing on the way up.
Dirt bikes and off road bikes are usually lighter and quicker to load, but still get the same chock and strap treatment so they arrive the way they left.
Breakdowns, accidents, and planned moves
Most calls come from a bike that will not start, a flat that cannot be fixed roadside, or a collision that leaves it unrideable. We also handle planned moves, like getting a bike to a shop for service or transporting a recent purchase home.
Common situations
When people call us for this
Roadside breakdown
A bike stalls on I-70 or a rural stretch of MD 65 and needs to reach a shop without further damage.
Flat tire on two wheels
A flat cannot be safely changed on a motorcycle roadside the way it can on a car, so the bike gets loaded and moved.
Post accident transport
A bike involved in a collision needs careful, upright loading rather than being dragged or rolled awkwardly.
Shop drop off
A bike needs scheduled service and the rider is not comfortable riding it there in its current condition.
Trike and sidecar rigs
Wider and heavier setups need different strap points and deck positioning than a standard two wheeler.
Recent purchase delivery
A newly bought motorcycle needs to get from a seller's driveway to yours without putting miles on it first.

Questions
Answers before you call
The front wheel sits in a wheel chock and soft straps run from the frame or triple clamp to solid deck points, holding the bike upright without resting weight on the suspension.
Straps are placed on frame points, not on fairings, mirrors, or cable housings, to avoid scratching or bending anything.
Yes. A trike loads differently than a two wheeled motorcycle because of its width and stance, and we adjust strap points accordingly.
A bike with a locked wheel or seized part can still be winched onto the deck. Tell us about it on the call so we bring the right equipment.
Yes, the same chock and strap method applies, though loading is often quicker given their lighter weight.
