Motorcycle Recovery on the M66

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 M66 runs 8 miles from Simister (M60) to Rawtenstall (A56) through Greater Manchester, Lancashire, with 5 junctions and service stations at . Busy during commuter hours with traffic heading into Manchester from Bury and Rossendale; Simister Island interchange is a known bottleneck. Wherever your motorbike stops along that route, our nearest motorcycle recovery driver is dispatched from Bury to reach you fast.

Motorcycle Recovery at the M66's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M66 where we are called out most often, and where we keep motorcycle recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 1 Simister Island (M60/M62/M66 interchange), one of Manchester's most complex and congested junctions; the multiple motorway-to-motorway movements cause confusion, hesitation, and lane-change collisions; vehicles queuing at Simister from all directions overheat and suffer battery drain

Junctions 2-3 (Bury area), heavy commuter traffic between Bury and Manchester creates morning and evening peaks; the constrained valley corridor limits road capacity; stop-start conditions cause clutch wear and overheating

Northern terminus at Rawtenstall (A56 connection), the elevated section near the motorway's end is exposed to Pennine weather; ice forms here before lower sections; the transition to the A56 dual carriageway involves a speed change that catches drivers off guard
