Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycles require a completely different approach to towing than cars or trucks. You cannot just hook up a motorcycle to a standard tow truck and pull it down the road. Bikes are designed to be balanced on two wheels, and once you tip them onto their side or lift them improperly, you risk serious damage to the frame, fairings, exhaust system, and other critical components. That is why motorcycle towing demands specialized equipment and trained operators who understand how to handle two-wheeled vehicles safely.

At NeighborPro Babylon Towing, we provide professional motorcycle towing services for all types of bikes, from sport bikes and cruisers to touring motorcycles and dirt bikes. We use dedicated motorcycle trailers and flatbed towing equipment designed specifically for two-wheeled transport. Our team knows how to secure your bike properly using wheel chocks, soft straps, and tie-downs that protect your paint and chrome while keeping your motorcycle stable during the trip.

Whether your motorcycle broke down on the highway, you need to transport it to a repair shop, or you are moving your bike to a rally or storage facility, we treat your motorcycle with the same care you do. We understand that for many riders, a motorcycle is not just transportation. It is a passion, an investment, and something you have spent time and money customizing. Our goal is to get your bike to its destination in the same condition it was in when we picked it up.

We tow all types of motorcycles, regardless of size, style, or condition. Here are some of the most common bikes we handle:

Motorcycles We Transport:

• Sport bikes and racing motorcycles
• Cruisers and touring bikes
• Adventure bikes and dual-sport motorcycles
• Dirt bikes and off-road motorcycles
• Scooters and mopeds
• Electric motorcycles and e-bikes
• Custom and vintage motorcycles

Sport Bikes and Performance Motorcycles

Sport bikes sit low to the ground and often have delicate fairings, custom exhaust systems, and aftermarket parts that can be easily damaged during improper towing. We use flatbed transport with soft tie-downs that secure the bike without scratching the paint or bending any components. We also know how to handle bikes with aftermarket suspension, racing slicks, or other modifications that require extra care.

Cruisers and Touring Bikes

Cruisers and touring motorcycles tend to be larger and heavier, with features like saddlebags, windshields, and chrome accessories. We use wheel chocks designed for wide rear tires and position straps to avoid contact with painted surfaces or chrome parts. Whether you ride a Harley, Indian, or another cruiser brand, we have the experience and equipment to transport it safely.

Dirt Bikes and Off-Road Motorcycles

Dirt bikes are lighter and have knobby tires, which means they need different securing methods than street bikes. We adjust our tie-down points and use compression straps that keep the suspension slightly loaded during transport, preventing the bike from bouncing around. Whether you are heading to a trail or bringing your dirt bike back from a race, we can get it there safely.

Transporting a motorcycle is about more than just getting it from point A to point B. It is about protecting your bike from damage, keeping it upright and stable, and ensuring it arrives ready to ride. Here is how we do it:

Specialized Equipment

We use motorcycle-specific equipment like wheel chocks that cradle the front tire and keep the bike vertical during transport. Our straps are designed with soft loops that protect painted surfaces and chrome from scratches. We also carry ratchet straps with adjustable tension, so we can secure the bike firmly without over-compressing the suspension or bending the handlebars.

Proper Loading Technique

Loading a motorcycle onto a flatbed or trailer requires skill and patience. We use a loading ramp with a gradual incline to avoid bottoming out the bike or scraping the exhaust. Once on the platform, we position the bike in the wheel chock and secure it with four or more tie-down points, distributing the load evenly. We test the stability before we leave to make sure nothing shifts during the trip.

Experienced Operators

Not every tow truck driver knows how to handle motorcycles. Our operators are trained specifically in motorcycle transport and understand the unique challenges that come with two-wheeled vehicles. They know how to balance the bike, where to place straps, and how to avoid common mistakes that can lead to damage. If you have a custom bike or rare model, we take extra precautions to ensure it is handled with care.

We also offer long-distance motorcycle towing for riders who need to transport their bikes across state lines or to events like rallies, races, or bike shows. Our flatbed trucks are equipped for extended trips, and we can provide tracking updates so you know where your bike is at all times.
