How a motorcycle tow works

1. You call and describe the bike: make, model, and what is wrong. A flat tire, a dead engine, and a bike that went down in a slide each load a little differently.
2. The flatbed arrives and the bike is loaded upright, rolled or winched up the bed, front wheel into a chock.
3. Soft straps secure the bike at the bars and frame points, snugged to keep it steady without crushing grips, cables, or bodywork. The suspension is compressed slightly so the bike rides planted.
4. The bike is delivered to your home, your shop, or a dealer, and unloaded the same careful way.

When riders call in Pueblo

• Breakdowns on US 50 west toward Canon City and the Royal Gorge, a favorite ride and a bad place to be stranded.
• Flats with no repair option. A plugged tire might limp a car home; most riders will not trust one at highway speed, and many bike tires cannot be plugged safely at all.
• Dead batteries and electrical faults after the bike sat through winter.
• After a drop or slide. If anyone is hurt, 911 first. A bike that went down gets loaded gently and checked over with you, and see the accident towing page for the scene steps.
• Moving a bike that does not run: a project bike purchase, a bike going to a shop for major work, or a move across town.

ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes

Four wheelers, side by sides, and dirt bikes ride on the flatbed too, strapped at four points. Pickups happen at homes, shops, and the trail areas around Lake Pueblo and the Pueblo Motorsports Park side of town. If the machine is stuck where it broke, out in the dirt, tell us on the phone what the ground is like so the driver plans the approach. For a machine buried in mud, the winch out page covers how recovery works.

What it costs

Motorcycle towing is priced like other flatbed work: distance plus the loading work, confirmed on the phone before the truck rolls. A bike delivered across town costs less than one hauled up I-25. See the cost guide for the full picture, and the long distance page if the bike is going out of town.
