Towing & Recovery
Stranded with your bike? Our specialist motorcycle recovery service uses proper securing equipment to transport your motorcycle safely — no scratches, no damage, just professional care when you need it most.
When your motorcycle breaks down, you need a recovery service that understands bikes aren't just smaller cars — they require specialist handling, proper securing straps, and transport equipment designed for two-wheeled vehicles.
At Big Ray Car Recovery, our motorcycle towing service is built specifically for riders. Whether you've had a mechanical failure, a puncture, or an accident, we'll get your bike to safety without a scratch.
We use soft-loop tie-down straps, wheel chocks, and dedicated motorcycle trailers to ensure your bike stays upright and secure throughout the journey. No generic flatbeds that could damage your fairings — just proper kit, operated by people who ride.

Common Questions
Motorcycle Towing FAQ
We use soft-loop tie-down straps that attach to the bike's frame or fork — never to fairings or plastic parts. The front wheel is placed in a chock, and additional straps secure the rear. Your bike stays upright and immobile throughout the journey.
We recover all types: sports bikes, cruisers, touring motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, supermotos, and even off-road/dirt bikes. Our equipment handles weights from 50cc scooters to heavy touring machines.
Average response time is 30–45 minutes depending on your location and traffic conditions. In urban areas we're often there within 20 minutes. We'll give you an ETA when you call.
