Thumbs down Yeah well

AMA told me they cannot verify that the dealer is open so they would charge me for overnight storage (dealer is 6 miles away) and it was 5 PM.

Default I also have AAA RV PLUS

But honestly, I was just too upset to have yet another 1 hour on hold to be denied. Maybe they would have helped but I'll plug the tire and ride in in the morning. Definitely have to leave HOG now after 13 years - I expected to be treated like a member ffs.

This thread has me thinking... Maybe I should look into a different company for roadside assistance.

Haven't tried to use mine yet but guarantee if they treat me like that they'll never get another dime from me.

The one and only time I've been towed it was raining.
Clutch went out on the way to Key West Poker Run.
The tow was free back to my house. I tipped the guy $40 for taking care of the bike. Made his day, and I was relieved to get it home.
Didn't make the Poker Run that year though.

Doesn't matter who they (HOG, AMA, AAA, insurance policy tow coverage) contract with, they all have their limitations and problems.
