Motorbike Recovery Kilkenny
Kilkenny's roads are popular with bikers, from the sweeping N76 towards Clonmel to the back roads around Inistioge and Graiguenamanagh. When a bike lets go a long way from home, Kilkenny Recovery Truck provides motorbike recovery across the county and the M9, 24 hours a day.
Bikes are loaded onto the flatbed, held upright and strapped down with soft ties to protect paintwork and fairings. The rider and pillion travel with us in the cab. We bring the bike home, to your dealer, or to the garage in Three Castles.

Safe handling for every type of bike
Sports bikes, adventure bikes, cruisers, classics and scooters all load and strap differently. We use a wheel chock and soft straps through the triple clamp or bars rather than over the tank or seat, and we never strap through anything that can bend. If you have a paddock stand or a specific tie-down point you want used, tell us.
- Hazard lights on and, if it is safe, roll the car in off the road or into a gateway.
- At night or in bad weather, stay visible: hi-vis vest, sidelights on, warning triangle well back.
- Keep passengers away from the road, especially on narrow county roads with no verge.
- Send us your Eircode or a Google Maps pin so we find you first time.
