Motorcycle Towing in Milwaukee, WI
Towing a motorcycle isn’t the same as towing a car. There’s nothing holding a bike up once it’s off the ground, so if it’s not loaded right, you can end up with a scratched tank, a bent lever, or worse.
At MG Towing & Recovery, we load every motorcycle onto a flatbed, lock it into a wheel chock, and secure it with soft straps so it makes the trip the same way it left, upright and undamaged. Dead battery, flat tire, accident, or a bike that won’t even roll, we’re available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, to get you and your bike where you need to go.
- 24/7 Emergency Response
- Flatbed Only, Never Hook-and-Chain
- Wheel Chock and Soft Strap Tie-Down
- Trained, Careful Operators
Why We Only Use Flatbeds for Motorcycles
A car can handle a wheel-lift tow just fine. A motorcycle can’t. It only has two wheels and a high center of gravity, so once it leaves the ground there’s nothing keeping it balanced on its own. That’s why we never tow a bike any way other than on a flatbed. We chock the front wheel to keep it upright, then run soft straps through the frame or handlebars, never over the plastics, mirrors, or brake levers, and get it secured before we go anywhere.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a sportbike, cruiser, touring bike, dirt bike, or trike. Our operators know that tie-down points and balance change from model to model, and we load accordingly every time.
When You Might Need Motorcycle Towing
- Broke down on the road. Dead battery, mechanical issue, or a flat tire that’s left you stuck on I-94 or a side street somewhere in Milwaukee.
- Went down in an accident. Whether it happened in a turn or a parking lot, we load carefully so nothing else gets damaged in the process.
- Won’t start, won’t roll, or you lost the key. A seized engine or locked steering doesn’t stop us. We’ll winch or ramp it onto the flatbed either way.
- Just picked up a new bike. Bringing one home from a dealership or a private sale? We’ll get it there safely.
- Need it moved long distance. Across town, to a shop, or out to a track day, we can handle it.
What Happens When You Call
- Call (414) 973-1902. Let our dispatcher know where you are and what’s going on. We’ll get a flatbed moving toward you right away.
- We check the situation on arrival. Our operator looks over the bike’s condition and position to figure out the safest way to load it.
- We load it securely. Your motorcycle goes onto the flatbed, gets locked into the wheel chock, and is tied down with soft straps at multiple points so it stays upright the whole ride.
- We deliver it wherever you need. A repair shop, a dealership, storage, or home, anywhere in Milwaukee or the surrounding area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you tow motorcycles on a flatbed?
Yes, always. We never use a hook-and-chain or wheel-lift on a motorcycle. Every bike goes on a flatbed, secured in a wheel chock with soft straps, so it stays upright and undamaged.
Can you tow my motorcycle if it won't start or roll?
Yes. If your bike has a dead battery, a seized engine, locked steering, or you've lost the key, we can winch or ramp it onto the flatbed without needing it to move on its own.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes. We work with most major insurance providers and can supply all necessary documentation including digital receipts, service records, and claim details to make the process easier on your end.
Do you tow trikes and three-wheelers?
Yes. They're wider and heavier than a standard motorcycle, so we adjust how we load and secure them, but they travel safely on our flatbeds just the same.
How long will it take for you to reach me in Milwaukee?
Our average response time within Milwaukee city limits is 20 to 50 minutes. Response times in surrounding areas may vary slightly depending on your location and traffic conditions. Our dispatcher will give you an accurate ETA when you call.
Do you offer long-distance motorcycle transport?
Yes. Whether you need a bike moved across town or out to another city, for a repair shop, a dealership, or an event, we can arrange it. Call us with your pickup and drop-off details and we'll get you a quote.
