Motorcycle Recovery on the M73

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 M73 runs 7 miles from Maryville (M74) to Mollinsburn (M80) through North Lanarkshire, with 3 junctions and service stations at . Busy during Glasgow commuter peaks, particularly at the M74 interchange at the southern end. Wherever your motorbike stops along that route, our nearest motorcycle recovery driver is dispatched from Glasgow to reach you fast.

Why motorbikes need motorcycle recovery on the M73

From our call-out data on the M73, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

Congestion at the M74 and M80 interchanges during rush hours
Road surface wear from heavy traffic volumes after the 2017 upgrade
Winter weather incidents on exposed sections

Motorcycle Recovery at the M73's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M73 where we are called out most often, and where we keep motorcycle recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 1 (M74 Maryville interchange), the southern gateway where M74 traffic from England splits between Glasgow city centre and the M73 bypass; the volume of through-traffic and the complexity of the interchange create congestion; vehicles that have driven from England are often at the limit of fuel and mechanical tolerance

Junction 3 (M80 Mollinsburn interchange), the northern terminus where M73 traffic merges with M80 Glasgow-to-Stirling flows; the intersection of two busy motorways in a relatively constrained space creates peak-hour congestion; winter ice on the slightly elevated Mollinsburn area appears before lower-lying sections

Central section near Gartcosh, the former industrial area generates construction and development traffic; the post-upgrade road surface carries heavier traffic than originally designed, and wear patterns are already emerging; pothole damage is a growing concern
