Motorbike recovery in Castle Vale
Motorbike recovery with proper tie-downs - no fork-tube crush, no scuffed fairings.

Castle Vale — what we see on the ground
Around the former RAF Castle Bromwich airfield site the motorbikes we recover in Castle Vale tend to be on 1990s low-rise housing — narrow approach, parked-both-sides, and the odd height barrier over a service road. We plan the truck route before it leaves the yard.
