Motorcycle Recovery on the M2

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 M2 runs 26 miles from Strood, Rochester to Faversham through Kent, with 7 junctions and service stations at Farthing Corner (Medway). Traffic is heavily influenced by cross-Channel ferry and Eurotunnel schedules, with significant peaks during school holidays and bank holiday weekends. Wherever your motorbike stops along that route, our nearest motorcycle recovery driver is dispatched from Chatham to reach you fast.

Why motorbikes need motorcycle recovery on the M2

From our call-out data on the M2, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

Crosswind-related incidents on exposed sections near Detling Hill
Brake failure on the steep descent at Blue Bell Hill
Overheating on slow climbs during summer holiday traffic to the Channel ports

Motorcycle Recovery at the M2's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M2 where we are called out most often, and where we keep motorcycle recovery resources close at hand:

Blue Bell Hill descent between Junctions 2 and 3, the steep 7% gradient overheats brakes on HGVs descending westbound and strains engines on eastbound vehicles climbing; brake failure incidents are significantly higher here than on any other Kent motorway section

Junction 5 (Sittingbourne/A249 interchange), this junction handles traffic to and from the Isle of Sheppey; the merging traffic often causes sudden braking that leads to shunts and clutch wear in queuing vehicles

Detling Hill exposed section between Junctions 4 and 5, crosswinds across the open North Downs ridge make this dangerous for high-sided vehicles and caravans; breakdown call-outs spike during autumn and winter storms
