Bike broke down in Selly Oak? Recovery in under an hour
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 Selly Oak 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.

- Loaded up the ramp under power where possible, winched otherwise
- We use bar-end straps not fork-tube compression to avoid seal damage
