Motorbike recovery with proper tie-downs - no fork-tube crush, no scuffed fairings.
From Oldbury to New Oscott is 10 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.
