Motorcycle Towing in Waterbury, CT
Motorcycles need a different approach than cars. We use a wheel chock and soft-strap tie-down on a flatbed — no frame contact, no scratches, no risk to the forks or triple tree. Tow Bros specializes in safe motorcycle transport across Waterbury and central Connecticut.
If your bike is down, the worst thing you can do is let an untrained operator hook it up like a car. Motorcycles have to be loaded straight, secured at the lower triple tree with soft straps, and ridden onto the flatbed by a trained operator. We do this every week and we have the equipment to do it right.
How we secure a motorcycle on the flatbed
A motorcycle goes into a wheel chock at the front of the deck, gets soft-strapped down at the lower triple tree (never the handlebars), and is supported at the rear with a second soft strap or rear-wheel chock. Suspension is left at ride height — never compressed.
Bikes we tow
Sport bikes (R1, R6, ZX-10R, GSX-R, CBR), cruisers (Harley-Davidson, Indian, Victory, Triumph), touring bikes (Goldwing, K1600, FJR), adventure (GS, Africa Twin, KTM, Tenere), and standards. We can also tow trikes and sidecar rigs with advance notice.
Common motorcycle calls in Waterbury
Dead battery on a sport bike in a parking lot, dropped bike on Route 8, a Harley that won't start at a rest stop on I-84, post-accident recovery, or a private transport from one shop to another. We handle all of these.
