There are many reasons why a motorcycle may need to go into storage. You might be moving house, going away, storing the bike over winter, keeping it secure between rides, or making space at home.
If you need to move your motorcycle to a garage, lock-up, storage unit, workshop, or secure address, professional motorcycle storage transport can make the process much easier.
Why arrange transport to storage?
Moving a motorcycle into storage is not always simple. The bike may not currently be road legal, may not start, or may be too valuable to leave outside. You may also not have the time, equipment, or confidence to transport it yourself.
A motorcycle courier can collect the bike and deliver it safely to the storage location, without you needing to hire a van or ride the bike there yourself.
When is motorcycle storage transport useful?
Storage transport is useful in many situations, including:
- Winter motorcycle storage
- Moving house
- Storing a classic or custom motorcycle
- Keeping a bike secure while away
- Moving a motorcycle from one garage to another
- Taking a bike out of storage
- Moving a non-runner to a safe place
- Transporting a bike to a workshop before storage
Delivery to garages, lock-ups and storage units
A motorcycle can often be delivered to a private garage, lock-up, storage facility, workshop, secure unit, or another safe address. The important thing is making sure access is clear before collection and delivery.
If the storage location has gates, codes, opening hours, narrow access, ramps, or site rules, these should be shared before booking.
What details are needed for a quote?
To arrange motorcycle storage transport, prepare:
- Pickup postcode
- Storage or delivery postcode
- Motorcycle make and model
- Whether the bike runs and rolls
- Pickup contact details
- Storage location contact details
- Preferred date if needed
- Any gate codes or access instructions
If the motorcycle is being collected from a garage, shed, underground parking area, or storage unit, mention any access issues before booking.
What if the motorcycle has been stored for a long time?
A motorcycle that has been stored for weeks or months may not start straight away. It may have a flat battery, soft tyres, old fuel, stuck brakes, or other small issues.
This does not always stop it from being transported, but the courier should know whether the bike rolls and whether it can be moved safely.
Preparing the motorcycle for storage delivery
Before the bike is collected, remove any personal items unless they need to travel with the motorcycle. Prepare keys, documents, chargers, covers, or small accessories if they are going into storage too.
It is also sensible to take photos of the motorcycle before collection, especially if it is valuable, classic, custom, or recently restored.
Why not move it yourself?
Moving a motorcycle yourself can involve van hire, ramps, straps, fuel, loading help, and time. If you do not have the right equipment, it can quickly become stressful.
Professional motorcycle transport gives you a simpler option. The bike is collected, secured, and delivered to the storage location without you needing to manage the journey yourself.
