Imperial Towing flatbed loaded with a motorcycle in Titusville, Florida

Titusville Riders, Your Bike Rides Upright.

Chocked, soft-strapped, and never dragged. We move bikes off US-1, the Playalinda run, and I-95 around the clock.

North Brevard bike transport

Two Wheels Get Handled Differently. That’s The Whole Point.

A bike has no fenders to hook, no frame rail to yank on, and nothing holding it up once the kickstand comes off the ground. Tow it like a car and you find out fast what that costs. We have been doing this out of Melbourne for 28 years, and by now our operators have loaded enough motorcycles that the sequence is muscle memory. Titusville riders get that same sequence every time.

Here is how yours rides. Front wheel into the chock, straight, so the bike stands on its own before anybody touches a strap. Soft straps around the bars or the lower triple, wheel nets over the tire, then tension pulled down evenly on both sides so the forks compress a little and stay there. Nothing metal ever contacts paint or plastic. The bike goes up the deck standing, rides the whole way standing, and comes off standing. No lean, no drag, no pushing it up a ramp on a flat tire and hoping.

What goes wrong on North Brevard roads

The calls up here have a pattern. Somebody is running the riverfront stretch of US-1 on a nice morning, or heading out the causeway toward Playalinda and the seashore, and the bike quits or goes down. The beach-lot entrances are the sneaky one. There is always a skim of sand and gravel right where the pavement ends, and a slow turn on that surface puts more bikes on their side than any highway ever has.

Then there is the heat. Older bikes that sat all week get vapor-locked on a July afternoon, usually a couple of miles from anywhere shaded. We get those calls constantly. Sometimes the honest answer is that it will fire again once it cools, and we will tell you that on the phone instead of billing you for a haul you did not need. When it does need to move, we are already rolling.

Storms and the I-95 through-traffic

Weather off the river turns quick. A rider who was dry at the A. Max Brewer bridge can be in a wall of rain by the time he is back on US-1, and there is no shoulder worth sitting on. We answer wet calls the same as dry ones, get the bike covered and loaded, and get you out of it.

Titusville also sits right on the corridor between Daytona and everything south, so Bike Week and Biketoberfest traffic runs straight through here. A rider three hundred miles from home with a dead bike does not know a single shop in Brevard County. We do. Tell us what it is doing and we will point you somewhere that works on it, then put it on the deck and take it there.

Breakdowns, drop-offs, and group rides

  • Dead on the side of the road: chocked and loaded where it sits, including soft shoulders and lot entrances.
  • Shop runs: staged on its stand where the shop wants it, with a photo texted to you.
  • Bought or sold: a planned pickup you book ahead, handled the same careful way as an emergency.
  • Group rides: two bikes on one deck when the machines allow it, a second truck when they do not.
  • Any hour: real dispatch at 2am, on holidays, and in the middle of a storm.

Riding with people is where the awkward calls come from. One bike goes down or gives up and now four riders are standing on the shoulder deciding who waits. Tell dispatch how many machines and roughly what they are. Two often travel together on one deck with proper spacing. If they will not fit without touching, we send another truck, because crowding a deck to save a trip is how bikes get scratched.

You hear the price before we leave

Ask what it costs and you get an answer on that phone call. We take the bike, the pickup spot, and the destination, and you get a straight, no-surprise price on your tow before the truck rolls. Nothing gets added on at the end. Shops and dealers in Titusville that move machines regularly can set up an account so the number is settled before they even call.

Word travels in a riding community

Riders talk. One scuffed tank and that person tells everybody he rides with, and rightly so. Most of our motorcycle work comes from somebody who was told by a friend that we handle bikes right. That is worth more to us than any single job, which is why the operator checks the load before the truck moves and again before it comes off the deck.

Need something other than transport? Our Titusville roadside help covers the fuel and battery calls, and if the bike went down hard, collision recovery is the page you want. Everything we run across town is listed on the Titusville service page.

Bike down or a move to make? Call (321) 499-4610 or send us the details and we will get a deck headed your way.

Rider Questions.

How does my bike ride on your truck?
Upright on the flatbed, front wheel in a chock, held by soft straps and wheel nets. Nothing leans, nothing drags, and no metal hook ever touches your frame. It comes off the deck in Titusville the same shape it went on.
Can you get a bike off the Playalinda road or a beach lot?
Yes. Sand and loose gravel at the seashore entrances are exactly where bikes go over. We load off soft shoulders regularly, and the operator walks the ground before he ever backs the deck down.
My bike quit in the heat on US-1. Is that a tow or a fix?
Sometimes a hot-soaked older bike restarts once it cools. Tell dispatch what it did and we will tell you honestly. If it needs to move, we move it. If waiting a bit is smarter, we will say so.
Will you drop the bike at my shop if nobody is there?
We do it all the time. Give us the Titusville shop and where they want bikes staged, and we set it on its stand out of the way, then text you a photo so you know exactly how it was left.
Can you pick up more than one bike from a group ride?
Depending on the machines, two often ride together on one deck with a proper gap between them. If they will not fit safely, we send a second truck rather than crowd them.
What will the tow run me?
Call (321) 499-4610 and tell us the bike and where it is going. You get a straight, no-surprise price on your tow before the truck leaves, not after it is unloaded.
Do you run at night and in the rain?
Around the clock, every day. Afternoon storms come off the river fast in Titusville and a rider caught in one has nowhere to go. We answer those calls the same as any other.
