Taking care of your bike while towing
Towing a motorcycle takes finesse. Custom paint jobs can be chipped, pricey parts can be damaged. But Scott Harris wants the job. A lifelong biker enthusiast who spent more than a decade shipping motorcycles around Europe for a rock band, he once saw bikes being moved with what he considered the wrong equipment.
Thus was a business born. Mr. Harris started a motorcycle towing company in Florida a few years ago, then sold it before moving to North Texas last year and launching Custom Cycle Rescue Inc. from his home in Little Elm. The company now has two part-time employees.
Mr. Harris says he keeps up with the latest towing tips and techniques from motorcycle manufacturers. And the bikes get a smooth ride in the bed of his pickup truck. “Nothing touches the motorcycle except for a soft sheepskin pad,” he said.
Business is good enough in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that Mr. Harris is working on developing franchising opportunities in motorcycle towing.
The downside? He misses his own Harley-Davidson Softail Standard. “I don’t have time to ride it, unfortunately,” he said. “I’m so busy towing.
