Broken mirrors or accessories
Transmission damage
Fluid leaks
Tire and rim damage

Proper Motorcycle Securing Techniques

Gardner Towing employs industry-best practices for securing motorcycles during transport. Our comprehensive approach includes:

Front Wheel Securing

Using wheel chocks designed specifically for motorcycle tires
Ensuring the chock matches the tire width for proper fit
Positioning the wheel straight to prevent fork stress

Tie-Down Placement

Attaching to solid frame members or triple trees, never to handlebars or fragile components
Using soft loops around painted or chrome surfaces to prevent scratching
Maintaining equal tension on both sides for balanced securing

Compression Management

Applying just enough downward pressure to secure the bike without compressing suspension
Typically compressing suspension by approximately 1/3 of its travel
Adjusting based on the specific motorcycle’s suspension type

Handlebar and Component Protection

Ensuring handlebars are properly positioned to prevent stress
Protecting mirrors and controls from contact with straps or equipment
Using padding on any potential contact points

Final Checks

Ensuring the motorcycle cannot move forward, backward, or side-to-side
Verifying all straps are secure but not overtightened
Checking that no components are under stress or in contact with the transport vehicle

These detailed securing techniques demonstrate our expertise and commitment to damage-free motorcycle transport.
