Professional motorcycle towing from Pinnacle Towing Service, available 24/7.
Call (619) 648-1403Motorcycle towing isn't like dragging a car onto a flatbed. Bikes require specialized equipment and operators who understand weight distribution, tie-down points, and how a machine that weighs 400-800 pounds behaves when it's loaded wrong. We run hydraulic wheel chocks and adjustable ramps on our flatbeds, plus soft straps that secure the bike without scratching fairings or bending mirrors.
Most bike breakdowns happen at the worst times — engine seizure on a mountain pass, blown clutch cable miles from town, or a lowside that leaves you with bent handlebars and no way home. Our drivers know the difference between loading a touring bike and a sport bike, where to hook recovery straps on an adventure bike that's stuck in sand, and how to handle bikes with aftermarket exhaust or extended swingarms.
The process starts with stabilizing the motorcycle and checking for fluid leaks or loose parts that could shift during transport. We position our flatbed or motorcycle trailer, deploy the ramp, and use a combination of wheel chocks and tie-down straps at multiple points. Front wheel goes into the chock, rear gets secured with crossed straps to prevent any lateral movement. No shortcuts, no 'good enough' — your bike rides like it's welded to the deck.
We've pulled Harleys out of desert washes, loaded sport bikes after track days gone wrong, and recovered adventure bikes from fire roads where most tow trucks can't even reach. East County's terrain eats motorcycles, but our equipment handles anything from a 250cc dirt bike to a fully-loaded Gold Wing with trailer attached.
When your bike dies on Sunrise Highway or deep in the backcountry, we'll reach places other tow companies won't even attempt.
Crashed bikes need careful loading to prevent further damage to bent frames, leaking fluids, or dragging fairings.
Adventure bikes buried in sand washes or mud require winching and specialized recovery before they can be loaded.
Sport bikes with blown engines or crashed at track events need transport without damaging race fairings or aftermarket parts.
Bikes with extended swingarms, lowered suspensions, or custom exhausts require adjusted loading techniques to clear ramps and tie-downs.
