Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycles need special care when they break down or need transport. You cannot just hook them up to a regular tow truck and drag them down the road. They need proper support, secure tie-downs, and careful handling to prevent damage. That is exactly what we provide at EZ-Move Hollister Towing.

We have been helping riders in Hollister and the surrounding area since 2024. Whether your bike broke down on the highway, you need to move it to a new location, or you are taking it to the shop for repairs, we treat your motorcycle with the same respect we would give our own. We use flatbed trucks with proper tie-down equipment designed specifically for motorcycles, so your bike stays secure and upright during the entire trip.

Why Motorcycles Need Special Handling

Here is the problem with towing a motorcycle the wrong way. If you try to roll it onto a standard tow truck, you risk scratching the paint, damaging the exhaust, or even tipping the bike over. Motorcycles are top-heavy and unstable when they are not moving. They need to be secured at multiple points with soft straps that will not damage the frame or bodywork.

We use flatbed towing for all motorcycle transport because it is the safest method. Your bike sits flat on the truck bed, and we use wheel chocks to keep it stable. Then we secure it with multiple soft tie-down straps that hold the bike firmly without putting pressure on fragile parts like the handlebars or fairings.

This method works for all types of bikes, from lightweight sport bikes to heavy touring motorcycles. We have hauled Harleys, Hondas, Ducatis, and everything in between. If it has two wheels, we know how to move it safely.

Motorcycle Services We Provide

Motorcycle towing is not just for breakdowns. We help riders in all kinds of situations:

• Roadside breakdowns: Engine trouble, flat tire, or electrical issues? We will pick up your bike and take it where it needs to go.
• Accident recovery: If your bike was involved in an accident, we can transport it carefully to a repair shop or storage location.

No matter why you need motorcycle towing, we make sure your bike is handled properly from start to finish. We know how much riders care about their bikes, and we respect that.

How We Secure Your Bike Safely

The key to safe motorcycle towing is using the right equipment and knowing exactly how to secure different types of bikes. Here is how we do it. First, we use a wheel chock or stand to keep the front wheel stable and upright. This prevents the bike from tipping sideways during transport.

Next, we attach soft tie-down straps to solid mounting points on the bike. We avoid putting pressure on anything that could bend or break, like mirrors, brake levers, or plastic body panels. The straps go around the frame or through the handlebars, depending on the bike design. We use at least four straps, two in front and two in back, to keep everything stable.

Before we drive anywhere, we double-check every connection. We make sure the straps are tight enough to hold the bike securely but not so tight that they damage anything. We also check that the bike is balanced properly on the flatbed so it will not shift during the trip.

During transport, we drive carefully and avoid sudden stops or sharp turns. Your bike is treated like the valuable piece of machinery it is. When we arrive at the destination, we carefully release the straps and help you unload the bike safely.
