Motorcycle Recovery on the M18

A motorbike, often just called a bike, can never be towed behind a vehicle, it has to travel upright on a dedicated carrier. We secure it with soft straps at the correct frame points so fairings, exhausts and paintwork stay unmarked, whether it is a 125, a naked, a sports bike, or a fully loaded tourer.

The M18 runs 26 miles from Rotherham (M1) to Rawcliffe (M62) through South Yorkshire, Doncaster, with 7 junctions and service stations at . Moderate traffic with peaks at the M1 and M62 interchanges; generally free-flowing outside of rush hours. Wherever your motorbike stops along that route, our nearest motorcycle recovery driver is dispatched from Doncaster to reach you fast.

Motorcycle Recovery at the M18's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M18 where we are called out most often, and where we keep motorcycle recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 1 (M1 interchange at Thurcroft), heavy freight traffic merging from the M1 southbound and M18 northbound creates congestion and sudden braking; vehicles that have been running hard on the M1 from the south often show cooling system stress here

Junctions 5-6 (Hatfield to Thorne, Humberhead Levels), the most exposed and windswept section of the M18; crosswind incidents for high-sided HGVs peak during autumn and winter storms; fog in the low-lying marshland causes chain-reaction incidents

Junction 2 (A1(M) interchange at Wadworth), the convergence of A1(M) long-distance traffic with M18 freight creates complex weaving patterns; tyre blowouts from HGVs changing lanes under pressure are common
