Erdington motorbike recovery - flatbed, no fork compression
Motorbike recovery with proper tie-downs - no fork-tube crush, no scuffed fairings.
Bikes deserve better than a set of fork straps and a hopeful look. In Erdington we run a flatbed with a wheel chock and bar-end tie-downs, so your forks stay uncompressed and your fairings arrive without scuff marks.
Erdington — what we see on the ground
Postcodes across B23 and B24 sit inside the Birmingham City Council area, and motorbikes tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near Spaghetti Junction, deliveries into Fort Dunlop, or on 1930s semis where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.
