Professional motorcycle towing service with secure transport equipment in Friendswood, TX

Why Motorcycles Need Special Towing

Motorcycles are not like cars. They are lighter, balanced differently, and require specialized equipment to tow safely. You cannot just hook a motorcycle up to a regular tow truck and expect it to arrive in good condition. The wrong towing method can damage the frame, scratch the paint, or even cause the bike to tip over during transport.

At SmoothMove Friendswood Towing, we understand how much your motorcycle means to you. Whether you ride a cruiser, sportbike, touring bike, or dirt bike, we have the right equipment and training to tow it safely. We treat your bike with the same care we would give our own.

How We Tow Motorcycles Safely

Towing a motorcycle correctly takes experience and the right tools. Here is how we do it:

  • Flatbed Transport: We use flatbed towing whenever possible. Your bike rides on a flat, stable surface with no wheels touching the ground. This is the safest method for long distances or bikes with custom modifications.
  • Wheel Chocks and Straps: We secure your motorcycle using wheel chocks that hold the front tire in place. Heavy-duty straps keep the bike upright and prevent it from tipping or sliding during transport.
  • Soft Tie-Downs: We use soft straps on areas like handlebars and frames to avoid scratching or damaging your bike's finish.
  • No Rolling Starts: If your bike does not run, we load it carefully onto the flatbed without rolling it excessively, which can damage the transmission.

Our drivers are trained to handle motorcycles of all types and sizes. Whether you have a Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, or a custom build, we know how to load and secure it properly.

When You Need Motorcycle Towing

There are many situations where you might need motorcycle towing. Here are a few:

  • Breakdown: Your bike stopped running and you need it towed to a repair shop or your home.
  • Accident: You were involved in a crash and your motorcycle is not rideable. We provide accident recovery and winching services to handle these situations safely.
  • Purchase or Sale: You bought or sold a motorcycle and need it transported to a new location.
  • Long-Distance Move: You are relocating and need your bike moved with you. We offer long-distance towing for motorcycles too.
  • Storage or Winterizing: You need to move your bike to storage for the off-season.

Whatever the reason, we are here to help. Motorcycles are valuable, and we understand the importance of getting them to their destination without damage.
