The question every rider asks
A motorcycle has nothing to lean on but the tie-down. We load yours on a flatbed, lock the front wheel in a wheel chock, and run soft straps around the bars or frame — never over plastics, levers, or with a hook-and-chain. The bike rides upright and arrives exactly as it left.
Local to Greendale
Instead of a boilerplate coverage claim, here's the working knowledge: where Greendale bikes actually go down, how the season shapes the calls, and what the clock looks like from dispatch to arrival.
The narrow streets of the historic Village Center slow traffic but rarely strand it. West Loomis Road (WIS-36) is the main diagonal artery, and the load grows on the I-894 / I-43 corridor just north and east of the village (the Hale Interchange area), which takes the heaviest rush-hour volume, peaking 7–9 AM and 4–6 PM. Busiest of all is South 76th Street (CTH-U) past Southridge Mall — flooded with shopping traffic on weekends and through the holidays, and a frequent fender-bender spot, especially at Edgerton and Grange Avenues.
Expansion joints, bridge decks, gravel drifting onto the ramps, drivers turning left across your line — the same hazards every rider watches on WIS-36 (West Loomis Road), WIS-24, and CTH-U (South 76th Street). Our end of it: when one puts a bike down, the flatbed loads it flat and nothing gets worse on the ride in.
~8 road miles from our South Side yard, with coverage across Milwaukee & Waukesha counties. Live ETA confirmed on the call.

Summers here run warm and humid — the gentle half of a humid continental year. Winter is the other half, and because Greendale is an inland southwest suburb with less lake moderation than the Milwaukee lakefront, it arrives cold and snowy in earnest: snow piles up, overnight temperatures drop hard, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles chew up roads and drain batteries.
Greendale follows the regional rhythm — first rides in early April, last rides around mid-November, and the heavy miles between May and October. Once the bikes are parked, our winter motorcycle work shifts to storage pickups and spring deliveries between homes, dealers, and shops.
Greendale sits in Harley-Davidson's backyard — the company was founded in Milwaukee, still runs its headquarters on Juneau Avenue, and keeps its museum on Canal Street downtown. If a ride out of Greendale ends early — the 115-mile Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive (Elkhart Lake to Whitewater Lake); Holy Hill and the Washington County back roads; Lake Drive and the Lake Michigan shoreline — call it in. The dispatcher confirms coverage for where you're standing and reads you a live ETA.
The riding calendar runs hard here: Thursday Bike Nights at the Harley-Davidson Museum all summer, and Mama Tried — the country’s biggest winter motorcycle show — every February at the Eagles Ballroom.

What we tow in Greendale
A sportbike and a trike have different worries. Pick yours and we’ll show how we load and secure it — the same call the dispatcher makes so the right chock and straps roll to Greendale ready.
Fairings and rear-sets leave little to grab, so we chock the front wheel and run soft straps to the triple-tree and frame — never over bodywork, levers, or controls. It rides upright and arrives unmarked.
Send the right gear — call nowIs this you right now?
Won’t start or a flat on WIS-36 (West Loomis Road) or WIS-24 or a Greendale surface street. We get you and the bike off the road fast.
Down in a corner or a Greendale parking lot. We load it on the flatbed without adding a single scratch to what’s already done.
Project bike, seized engine, dead battery, or a lost key. We winch or ramp it on — it doesn’t need to run.
Private seller, auction, or dealer floor: the Greendale pickup rides home upright in a chock with soft straps, exactly as you bought it.
Storage season keeps us moving: pickups from Village Center Historic District & The Originals, Overlook, and Parkridge garages in the fall, deliveries to the dealer or back home in spring.
Wider and heavier with two wheels on one end — we load and secure three-wheelers differently, but they ride flat safe.
What it costs
A Greendale bike tow is a hook-up fee plus measured loaded miles, led by your bike's type — cruiser, sport, touring, trike, or dirt — because tie-down geometry and equipment differ by type. Condition add-ons (won't roll, locked steering) and time of day round it out. Hook-up is a flat $125 for standard bikes ($140 heavy customs), any hour, plus $4 per loaded mile — the calculator up this page turns that into your exact number in about 60 seconds.
Straight from the same pricing engine our dispatchers use — priced by your actual bike and route, never a different number at drop-off.
