Motorcycle Recovery on the M49

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 M49 runs 4 miles from Severn Beach (M4) to Almondsbury (M5) through South Gloucestershire, with 2 junctions and service stations at . Moderate traffic with HGV-heavy flows serving the Avonmouth industrial area; busiest during weekday working hours. Wherever your motorbike stops along that route, our nearest motorcycle recovery driver is dispatched from Bristol to reach you fast.

Motorcycle Recovery at the M49's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M49 where we are called out most often, and where we keep motorcycle recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 1 (M4 Junction 22 interchange), the merge with M4 traffic coming off the Second Severn Crossing combines with local industrial traffic; vehicles arriving from Wales in bad weather often have cooling systems stressed from bridge crosswind exposure

Junction 2 (M5 Junction 18A / Avonmouth), heavy industrial traffic from Avonmouth Docks merges onto the M49; HGV breakdowns from vehicles carrying heavy loads to and from the port are a daily feature

Central section (Severn Estuary exposure), sea fog from the Bristol Channel can appear with zero warning, reducing visibility from clear to near-zero; the flat marshland offers no wind protection; crosswind incidents peak during winter storms
