Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycles are not like cars. They require a completely different approach to towing and transport. You cannot just hook up a chain and drag a motorcycle behind a truck. The frame, suspension, and paint are all vulnerable to damage if the bike is not secured correctly. Even small mistakes during loading can result in scratches, dents, or worse, a bike tipping over during transport.

At KeenWorks Syracuse Towing, we understand how much your motorcycle means to you. Whether it is a sport bike, cruiser, touring bike, or vintage model, we treat it with the care it deserves. Our team has the specialized equipment and training needed to transport motorcycles safely. We use soft straps, wheel chocks, and proper tie-down techniques to keep your bike stable and secure during the entire trip.

We have worked with all types of motorcycles, from small scooters to heavy touring bikes. We know where to attach straps without damaging fairings, how to balance the bike during loading, and how to secure it so it does not shift during transport. When you call us for motorcycle towing, you can trust that your bike will arrive at its destination in the same condition it was in when we picked it up.

Motorcycle breakdowns happen for all kinds of reasons, and when they do, you need a safe way to get your bike off the road. Here are some of the most common situations where motorcycle towing becomes necessary:

We also offer motorcycle towing as part of our emergency towing services, which means you get the same fast response times and professional service we provide to all our customers.

Proper motorcycle towing starts with the right equipment. We do not use standard car towing methods for motorcycles. Instead, we use specialized motorcycle trailers or flatbed carriers designed specifically for two-wheeled vehicles. These systems include wheel chocks that hold the front tire in place and soft tie-down straps that secure the bike without damaging the paint or chrome.

Before we load your motorcycle, we inspect it and take photos to document its condition. This protects both you and our company by creating a clear record of how the bike looked before transport. We also ask you about any modifications or special concerns, such as aftermarket exhaust systems or custom paint, so we can take extra precautions.

During loading, we roll the bike onto the platform or trailer using a ramp, making sure it stays upright and balanced. Once the bike is in position, we use the wheel chock to secure the front tire and attach soft straps to the frame or handlebars. We never attach straps to parts that could bend or break, such as turn signals or mirrors. We also make sure the straps are tight enough to prevent movement but not so tight that they compress the suspension too much.

During transport, our drivers take extra care to avoid sudden stops, sharp turns, and rough roads. We know that motorcycles are more sensitive to movement than cars, and we adjust our driving accordingly. When we arrive at the destination, we carefully unload the bike and perform a final inspection with you to make sure everything is in order.

If your motorcycle has been in an accident or is in a difficult position, we can also provide accident recovery and winching services to safely extract it before loading it for transport. Our team has experience handling bikes in all kinds of situations, from highway crashes to off-road trails.
