Bike broke down in Gornal? Recovery in under an hour
Motorbike recovery with proper tie-downs - no fork-tube crush, no scuffed fairings.
From Oldbury to Gornal is 7 miles. Long enough to think about your bike being properly strapped down. We use the front wheel chock first, then four tie-downs to solid points - never through the fairing brackets.

Gornal — what we see on the ground
Postcodes across DY3 sit inside the Dudley MBC area, and motorbikes tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near St James's Church, deliveries into Gornal Wood industrial estate, or on light industrial units where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.
