After a Crash

Accident-Damaged Motorcycle Pickup: Clearing the Bike After a Crash

Accident-damaged motorcycle pickup collects a crashed bike from your home, a smash repairer, a towing company's holding yard or an insurer's storage facility. Crash damage often leaves bent forks, a cracked frame, broken fairings, leaking fluids or wheels that will not turn, so the bike is loaded onto a tilt-tray with a winch, wheel dolly or skates where needed.

If the motorcycle is insured, your insurer may send an assessor to decide whether it is repairable or a total loss. Once the claim is settled, or you decide not to repair, the bike can be collected. Bikes left at holding yards can attract daily storage fees, so arranging pickup early can help.

Share photos of the damage and the bike's current location and we will plan the pickup. If it still has usable parts, ask about motorcycle cash for wrecks.

Insurance and Write-Offs

Accident Damage and Write-Off Categories Explained

After a serious crash, how your motorcycle is classified affects whether it can be repaired, re-registered or only dismantled for parts.

01

Repairable Write-Off

An insurer judges repair costs to be more than the bike is worth. Whether it can be repaired and re-registered depends on your state's rules.

02

Statutory Write-Off

The damage is severe enough that the motorcycle can never be re-registered. It can only be dismantled for parts or recycled as scrap.

03

Written-Off Vehicle Register

Write-offs are recorded on the WOVR against the bike's VIN, so the classification stays with the motorcycle when it is sold or wrecked.

04

Insurance Assessment

An assessor inspects the damage, in person or from photos, and the insurer confirms whether the claim is a repair or a total loss.

05

Salvage Ownership

When an insurer pays out a total loss, the salvage often becomes the insurer's property, so confirm who owns the bike before it is sold.

06

Uninsured Bikes

If the bike is uninsured or you choose not to claim, the decision to repair, sell or wreck the damaged motorcycle is yours.

Before We Collect

Checklist Before Your Accident-Damaged Motorcycle Is Collected

A short checklist protects your claim, your records and your belongings before the bike leaves.

Photograph the damage: take clear photos of every side, the frame, forks and odometer for your insurer and your own records.

Keep the police reference number: for crashes reported to police, the event number may be needed for insurance and registration matters.

Confirm the claim status: check with your insurer that the assessment is complete and that you are free to release the bike.

Collect personal items: remove helmets, documents, spare keys, tools and anything in the panniers or under the seat.

Remove your devices: take off dash cams, memory cards, GPS units and phone mounts before pickup.

Update the registration: once the bike is gone, lodge a notice of disposal or cancel the registration with your state transport agency.
