An Introduction…..
Hello, welcome to the website! I am Stu Coupland, an independent Motorcycle Recovery Operator, with my own van and equipment. I work with both private customers and the motorcycle trade, providing emergency recovery, and a bespoke transport service for all types of motorbike, including parts and other motorcycle related goods too.
Based in New Earswick, York, I offer a high level of service throughout the UK Mainland.
Our Aim;
As our customer it is our aim do our best to ensure you and your bike are looked after properly and professionally, and provide you with a first class service.
A roadside breakdown, new purchase, project bike, restored classic or winter hack will be properly loaded, secured and delivered with respect and care.
Sometimes circumstances prevent you and your bike from completing your journey. Whether you’re on a Sunday afternoon rideout, or a daily commute, we will strive to get you out of a crisis, and deliver you and your bike safely to where you need to be. My partner Sharon and I are bikers ourselves so understand whats involved in effecting a successful recovery, and realise how traumatic even a minor incident can be.
A Brief History;
After lots of requests to recover broken down motorbikes using the Land Rover and trailer back in 2016, I decided to get a properly equiped van, and do a proper job (where the bike doesn’t get a coating of grime en-route).
After much deliberation a suitable, (and straight), Fiat Ducato XLWB van was purchased, and I modified it with a winch, extra battery, full width ramp, internal LED’s, recovery beacons, worklights and motorcycle carrying equipment. After covering 270,000 miles with me and clocking up 379,000 miles, the only issue being a new gearbox, the trusty old Ducato was getting long in the tooth and was sold on to a local drag-bike workshop owner. In summer 2022, a lovely Mercedes Sprinter 314CDi was purchased, and I converted it for specialist motorcycle transport similar to the old Ducato. We also have a 16x6ft winch equiped flatbed twin axle Trike recovery trailer.
Insurance is also paramount, so motorcycle specific insurance and public liability insurance is in place as well as normal van insurance.
