Need a Lift?

One thing about riding a motorcycle is that inevitably something goes wrong. Either we have a lapse in judgment or our bike just decides…nope, I’m done.

As riders we all know and love the feeling that riding our motorcycle gives us but what about when things go wrong? We find ourselves feeling frustration, anger, guilt, even embarrassment. So what then? What do you do when your bike simply won’t start? What do you do when your bike runs out of gas or if a clutch cable or chain breaks? What do you do when you enter that corner too fast and you and your bike are no longer ‘one’ but rather sliding in two different directions? What if you just want your bike transported from home to your dealer or repair shop (or back) but for whatever reason either can’t ride it or are uncomfortable doing so?

So who do you call? This is where a company like MotoLimo.com comes in. They have been providing a valuable and much needed transportation service to riders for years in the Greater Toronto Area. They are the only company in Ontario with fully insured and specialized motorcycle transport vehicles to take your bike to where ever you need it to go. Most of their business is simply transporting bikes either to dealers & repair shops or back to your home but they also provide a 24/7 roadside rescue service in the event that you run out of gas, have a flat tire or worse — have a minor crash. They also handle deliveries between private owners to complete a sale (they will even arrange to have your bike certified on route saving you a lot of time and hassle).

For the most part they provide service to the Greater Toronto Area but they also do longer distance deliveries. They are also official roadside assistance service providers for BMW, HOG, Kawasaki, Vespa and CAA providing those members with quick, reliable service. Rest assured, your bike is in good hands.

What if something serious happens? Sometimes riders find themselves in a very dire situation. They are sent to hospital overnight (or for longer) and their bike is taken to an impound yard. We can’t think about this at the time but for every day that your bike is in an impound yard, the cost is easily $85 per day not to mention the towing fees, which could cost many hundreds of dollars. Yikes! Usually your insurance will reimburse you for these costs but you will still have to pay for it up front and not everyone has that kind of money on hand. MotoLimo will pickup your bike from the impound lot quickly and take it either to your home or your preferred repair shop while you deal with bigger issues like recovering from injuries.

Nobody wants to think about things like this but should the time come, you should have their number. If you get in trouble or simply need your bike delivered somewhere or even information regarding any kind of motorcycle transport, MotoLimo is on hand to take care of all your transportation needs. They are currently looking for new drivers as they expand their services across Canada.
