At Norris Towing, we get it. We’re vehicle enthusiasts who understand that your motorcycle isn’t just a bike; it’s your pride and joy. It deserves to be handled with skill, respect, and the right equipment. That’s why we offer specialized, professional motorcycle towing services here in Cleveland, Tennessee. When you call us, you’re not just getting a tow; you’re getting a team dedicated to protecting your passion and getting you and your bike to safety, damage-free.
You wouldn’t take your high-performance bike to a mechanic who only works on cars, so why would you trust it to a tow truck operator who doesn’t have the right equipment? Towing a motorcycle is a skill that requires a completely different approach than towing a four-wheeled vehicle.
Balance is Everything: Unlike a car, a motorcycle can’t stand on its own. Improperly securing it on a flatbed can cause it to tip over during transport, leading to devastating damage. Attempting to use a traditional hook-and-chain wrecker is simply not an option and is a recipe for disaster.
Protecting Every Finish: Your bike is a work of art. From the custom paint on the tank to the mirror-finish chrome on the exhaust, every surface is exposed and vulnerable. A single misplaced chain or a rough, gritty strap can cause deep scratches, dings, and costly cosmetic damage in an instant.
Specialized Equipment is Non-Negotiable: We have invested in the specific tools needed to do the job right. Our motorcycle towing process always includes:
Flatbed Trucks: This is the only truly safe way to transport a motorcycle. Your bike is loaded securely onto a flat, stable platform, eliminating wear and tear and ensuring it never touches the road.
Motorcycle Wheel Chocks: We secure the front wheel in a heavy-duty chock on the flatbed. This stabilizes the bike in an upright position before a single strap is ever attached.
Soft Straps & Multi-Point Tie-Downs: We use a system of high-quality, scratch-free soft straps and canyon dancer-style handlebar harnesses. These are strategically placed on strong, stable parts of the frame and suspension, ensuring there is zero contact with your bike’s delicate paint, fairings, or chrome.
Whether you’re in an emergency or need to schedule a move, we have a service tailored to your needs as a rider.
A breakdown can happen anywhere, anytime. Our team is on call 24/7 to provide fast, responsive emergency towing. We have extensive knowledge of the popular riding routes around Cleveland and the Cherokee National Forest, so we can find you and get to you quickly. Whether it’s an engine issue, electrical problem, or a flat tire, we’ll be there to help.
If the unfortunate happens and you’re involved in an accident, your first priority is your safety. Our second priority is recovering your bike with the utmost care. We work professionally with law enforcement and first responders to safely clear the scene and transport your motorcycle to the shop of your choice.
Need to get your bike somewhere without putting miles on it? We offer scheduled transport for non-emergency situations, including:
Transporting your bike to a mechanic or dealership for service.
Moving a new motorcycle purchase from the seller to your home.
Taking a custom or show bike to an event or exhibition.
Moving a project bike that isn’t yet road-ready.
We believe in complete transparency, so you know exactly how we’ll care for your bike from start to finish.

The Right Truck Arrives: We dispatch a flatbed truck, fully equipped with our specialized motorcycle transport gear.
Secure Loading: Our trained operator will carefully walk or winch your bike up the ramp onto the flatbed.
Meticulous Tie-Down: The bike is secured in the wheel chock, and our operator uses a multi-point system of soft straps to anchor it, ensuring it’s stable and protected.
Smooth Transport: We drive carefully to your destination, whether it’s your home, a dealership, or your favorite mechanic in the Cleveland area.
Careful Unloading: The process is reversed with the same level of precision, placing your bike safely on solid ground.
