Motorcycle Recovery on the M5

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 M5 runs 161 miles from West Bromwich (M6) to Exeter through West Midlands, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, with 31 junctions and service stations at Frankley, Strensham, Michaelwood and more. Summer Saturdays see extreme congestion southbound between Bristol and Exeter, often with delays of over an hour; the so-called 'M5 holiday crush' is a fixture of UK motoring. Wherever your motorbike stops along that route, our nearest motorcycle recovery driver is dispatched from Bristol to reach you fast.

Why motorbikes need motorcycle recovery on the M5

From our call-out data on the M5, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

Severe holiday congestion causing overheating between Junctions 19 and 25 on summer Saturdays
Fog-related incidents on the low-lying Somerset Levels sections
Tyre failures on older road surfaces south of Taunton
Running out of fuel between the widely spaced service stations south of Bristol

Motorcycle Recovery at the M5's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M5 where we are called out most often, and where we keep motorcycle recovery resources close at hand:

Junctions 4A-5 (Lickey Hills descent near Bromsgrove), the long downhill gradient overheats brakes on HGVs that have been crawling through Birmingham traffic; northbound vehicles face the opposite problem with engine strain on the climb

Junction 15 Almondsbury interchange (M4/M5 merge), the complexity of merging M4 and M5 traffic creates persistent congestion; overheating and minor collisions peak during Friday afternoon getaway traffic

Junctions 19-21 (Gordano to Weston-super-Mare), the 20-mile gap from Gordano services to Sedgemoor services catches drivers unaware; fuel starvation call-outs spike on summer Saturdays when this section can take two hours instead of twenty minutes
