Your bike deserves careful handling. Here is what every rider in Northern Virginia should know about motorcycle towing.
How a Bike Should Be Towed
A motorcycle has no fourth wheel to stabilize it and expensive, exposed components, so it needs a completely different setup than a car. Done wrong, a tow can scratch fairings, bend forks, or drop the bike. Done right, it's completely secure:
- On a flatbed, never dragged behind a truck
- Secured with soft straps, not chains that scratch or dent
- A front wheel chock to hold it upright during transport
- Tie-downs that put no pressure on the forks or fairings
What to Look For in a Motorcycle Tow
Not every tow operator carries the right equipment for bikes. Before you hand over your motorcycle, confirm they use a flatbed, soft straps, and a wheel chock, and that the operator has actually moved bikes before. A cruiser, sportbike, and touring rig each load a little differently.
