- Towing a Honda gold wing video was requested by a subscriber in this video I show you how to load a big motorcycle onto a flatbed rollback truck using lasso straps and one man no help I really enjoy doing these videos please like and subscribe! Towing Tips
This video taught me years ago how to strap a bike down solo most guys wouldn't dare try this. I love this method!! Thanks bro!!
I’ll be doing an updated video to this!
@Towvibes can't wait stay safe!!
Even though you weren't going to drive anywhere with it loaded you still made sure to do a final tighten down good shit
That was a good load, Bikes are hard to tow. You can put a zip tie on the brake lever after pushing it on the bed, this will keep it from rolling if the clutch slip. Cool channel
That’s a Great idea or Velcro strap thank you for that!
@@Towvibes Have you watched any of my videos? I tried to send you an email but I couldn't find an email address for you. Send me an email, towtruckerbiz@gmail.com
Are you for reals…. I just noticed this was towtrucker well I’ll be that’s awesome!
I wish it was you that picked up my bike yesterday. Yesterday the guy rode my bike right to the top of the inclined flatbed, applied the front break and slid all the way down again. A miracle nothing was damaged and no one hurt.
Great demo / video.
Yah you have to lock front and back up it won’t slide!
And hence why you're looking up a video of how to load a motorcycle 😂
Great video man, thanks for taking your time teaching us!
your welcome I have quite a few motorcycle videos thanks for watching
Thanks bro , im a Tow Truck Operator as well and im picking up a bike sat , i needed to know how to hook it up
Wow ! Great job. I never saw anyone load a bike by them self like that.
yah it’s always tricky loading a big bike but then I remember how much my truck payment and insurance is and then I summon extra powers!
The only thing I do different is , if I’m pushing it up by myself I’d stay on the side with the kick stand, that way if it does come over on me the kick stand will catch it or at least slow it down
I heard that but I’m a lefty messes me up! 🤷🏻
I've literally had this happen! Yep stay on the kickstand side of the bike.
Had it happen th-cam.com/users/shorts5Od-pcYEnmI?feature=share
Thank you! Had one the other day I could have closed my day out with but had no clue what I was doing and didn’t want to pay for someone’s bike lol
Same, had to turn down a long distance trip and was mad so I'm watching this lol
Thanks for that video after I bought the condor but you never now thanks again 🤙
I've towed a few, but luckily they were wrecked so didn't have to be too careful with them. My stepdad had to tow a Harley one time and we had to have help getting it on the bed.
In my career of 8 years being tow truck driver, and towing I'll say more than 200 bikes , I only had 2 bikes when I have to load it by my self .... bouth of them was havy harleys.
First one I did rolled on bad as you did , than throw a strap across the seat of a bike , its hold it very well while I'm raised the bad.
Second bike I'd tow , was stuck on gear and clutch handle wasn't reacting. So i have to drag it with winch cable up on a bed !!! It was total nightmare !!
It took me 30 minutes to figure out how to rigged up 2 snatch blocks with strap, chain and winch controlled handle so I can operate it from distance !!! )) Everything on that tow went well , and I learned something new !! For instance ..it is very helpful to have 2 or even more snatch blocks in your flatbed !!))
facts!
Back in the day we had motorcycle straps and picked it up with the boom. Easy Peasy.
Yes sir 🙌!! I appreciate this a lot and it helped a bunch. Like always slow down or move over and be safe on the road brother
thank you buddy for the idea I’m always looking to ad new content I hope this video helps sucks when you have to turn away calls I’m here to help so you guys can make more $...
I use a condor system. Makes it way easier on your own
like to see a old sling tow truck carry a bike i used to use that in the 80s
Thanks for this video great work you done was helpful like how you did it
Thank you, from Kansas City
Welcome!
nice video man you are a beast rolling it up the bed like that lol. Only thing i saw was make sure that ratchet j hook is up on the end of the cleat and not the middle. subbed
Absolutely I agree I was just so eager to shoot the video thank you for your constructive criticism I appreciate you be safe out there from your pal oz @ Giannas’s towing!
If you put those front straps more of an angled toward the front of the truck hello stop the mites and going back rear straps for good they're pulling towards the rear that way that might can't rock loosen up
Got to give you a shout out man you save me. Thanks so much loaded my first motorcycle went well. It was a heavy Harley Davidson fat boy.😂
yessir!
@@Towvibes the best part when I got it back to the yard, the forklift took straps and raised right of the bed lol, either way you saved me man! be safe out their brother ⛓⛓🛻
thats how i do it but a stage a couple straps so i can secure the front end to keep it from tipping over .
yah bro do what works for you brother!
Very Impressive!
thank you sir I hope you guys really find this video useful I know I have turned to the tube many times for towing vids!
Great video thanks for sharing.👍👍
Thanks for watching best thing to help us out it to subscribe🪝💪🎥
I had to do my first one the other day, Luckily is was a POS crotchrocket. I had the owner stabilize the bike while i used my Jhooks to winch it up from the shocks. Then strapped it down from the passenger foot support. It worked pretty good.
Much respect
thank you for the kind words!
Way 2 Go💯🎯
Very impressed how you got the bike on your flatbed. Get a six function bed remote control. That eliminates asking somebody to run your controls. Or trying to figure out how to run your controls and load the bike at the same time. You can go to any exotic bike dealership and they’ll show you how to strap a bike to your flatbed. They even have straps they’ll sell you. I only use two soft straps and piece of Velcro for the front hand brake. Only takes five minutes to load/unload.
brother your absolutely right I plan on getting a set for sure but there not cheap it’s hard atm keeping insurance paid and trucks maintained and still have $ for upgrades but I plan on getting some for sure and I will look into these straps you speak of thank you for your comment my tow brother stay frosty watch your 6!
I would secure it before I tilt the bed
I usually put my hooks in the front wheel or a strap then you k ow it won't slide back.
Yo la ubiese asegurado no costaba nada pero bueno salio.bien
I have the exact same roll back you do.
hold on to it great trucks getting harder to find they went up a ton in value change oil rotella every 5k they last long time!
Never load it by yourself unless you absolutely have to. Zip tie front brake lever once on bed
Yes Eric very true always use 2 people if u can but sometimes it’s just you and to make it worse it can be on highway at night time!
Would like to see more videos on how to do this alone with no remote
Well that is me doing it with a gold wing 800 lbs pound bike with no remote by my self I have a video of me strapping down and loading a Harley special edition also in there! 🏍💪🪝
@@Towvibes oh man your right idk what I was thinking I'm sorry bro u did do it by yourself I was thinking of another video my bad man
@@runpuppyfpv5744 all good my tow pal! 💪🪝
I like to use the blue towels to protect against the metal chrome on the bike. Meanwhile.......clang, clang, clang!
yes sir you know what’s up!
Can you show how to use a snatch block to recover perpendicular on the side of the highway?
I’ve got quite a few of snatch block videos look through some of my older stuff really you have to set it at the end of the bed then run it at a 45.
Excellent,thanks! I'm having to get my BMW bike towed next week for the first time (recall service) since buying it in 2009. This helped me make sure the towing company I hired will do a good job.
Fuck me, I thought you almost dropped it. Get yourself a looped strap round the front forks then winch her on bit more controlled. If you don’t have remote then pushing i guess works. Liked the way you just tilted it off the back mind. I was given these straps to go over the handlebars worst fucking things ever would not recommend.
lol me too but years of experience has taught me if that happens to lock up your leg to act like a kick stand usually u don’t have a 850 pound bike most of the time there smaller bikes thank you for the comment brother be safe out there!
@@Towvibes and you bro. Throw some cones at cars for me. Peace ✌🏻
Is there a part 2 for unloading a giant motorcycle?
put a Velcro strap on the front brake and leave it in gear un hook it take off straps let her rip I have a few vids doing bikes
@@Towvibes sounds good! 👍
Wrong side of bike loading it strap that bite before you put that bed up
I turn the bike sideways and put a strap on it to load and unload by myself
Any video tips are appreciated
We won't tow bikes unless owner of the bike is with it to help.
Technically hes not "towing" the bike
Bro you need a 🎤 badly
I know bro I gotta get back in the studio drop some hits!
Be easier with a condor
My wallet disagrees!
@@Towvibes lol tru
@@Towvibes First damage claim and you will have one, they are well worth the price. Also takes all the work out of loading them AND no need for help. I do about 50 a year and will not do another one without the Condor
@@tracyblaine4554 I’ll do it the same way next time I’ve done over 30 bikes just this summer skills to pay the bills! 🪝💪
