Chester-le-Street motorcycle transport Methods: Choosing the Right Option


Chester-le-Street motorcycle transport has four main methods for transporting motorcycles: open trailers, covered trailers, ride-on services, and specialist lorries. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, which we'll outline below:


Open trailers are a popular choice for motorcycle transport in Chester-le-Street, as they're often cheaper than covered trailers. However, your bike will be exposed to the elements during transport. Be sure to check that the transport provider uses a specialized motorcycle trailer for the safest delivery.


Covered trailers, on the other hand, offer greater protection for your motorcycle. While they may be more expensive, they're ideal for longer distances or for transporting high-value bikes.


Ride-on services involve a professional rider transporting your bike. Although this option may be more expensive, it's a good choice for urgent deliveries.

Specialist lorries can transport multiple motorcycles simultaneously, making them a cost-effective option for large or heavy bikes. However, they may not be suitable for individual private jobs.

Preparing Your Motorcycle Transport for Transport


Before collection, make sure you prepare your motorcycle for transport by:


Cleaning your motorcycle to prevent hidden damage or scratches from becoming apparent during transport. Document any nicks or scrapes with photographs to identify potential damage once your bike reaches its destination.


Draining fluids such as oil and petrol from your bike to prevent leakages and ensure safety. Leave some fuel in the tank if the bike will be ridden during transit.


Making sure tyres are properly inflated to prevent damage to rims and make the bike easier to move.


Removing any loose panels or accessories that could come off during transit. Consider tying the keys to the bike itself and ensuring it's in working order, taxed and valid MOT if the transporter will ride it on public roads.
