AAA Motorcycle & RV has Trip Interruption coverage. Pays hotel and meals if you have to wait while bike gets repaired. I just had AAA replace battery in my truck. They came to my house. $177 for 6 year battery.

I have AAA RV Premier which includes motorcycles. $127 per year. It allows 1 tow per year up to 200 miles and four tows per year up to 100 miles. I've used it twice. Last time was in Canada. 300km (180 mi) from the Harley dealer. Had a tow in 40 minutes. Other time just outside Sun Valley. Towing company had a truck returning to Twin Falls and I had a tow in 5 minutes.

My brother and I both have AAA premium. I've only used it once when I did an extended run at higher than normal speed and ran out of gas earlier than I expected. The truck arrived in less than 30 minutes and only charged me for a couple of gallons of gas to get to the next gas station.

My brother has been towed about five times in the last few years due to mechanical issues and a big hole in his rear tire that couldn't be repaired. The flat tire was within 100 miles of the nearest dealer, no charge. The mechanical issues were luckily within 100 miles of a dealer or home, so there was no charge for those tows either. Response time was very good every time.

Had a new battery fail last month and called Geico (roadside assistance comes with their standard bike policy). They towed me 90 miles to the nearest HD dealer with no issues.

I travel long distances so the unlimited tow distance is important. However I have never needed or used roadside assistance with a motorcycle.

I have AAA Premier and it covers Recreational vehicles and cages for 300 km free towing, approximately 185 miles. I also have the HD road assistance for the Harley and 4 year towing with my 2017 5 Series BMW.

I have Roadside from Hog $19.99 a year . Used it a couple years ago on a Sunday (flat tire ) . They take you to the nearest dealer ! The tow dude was awesome and so was Hog . They called me a couple times to make sure all went well . It was a Sunday so they dropped me and the bike off at the Hotel . And came back Monday morning to add air to the tire so I could take it down to the dealer with no charge ! He understood I wasn't comfortable leaving the bike out in the Hog parking lot over night !


great job

AMA Roadside Assistance will tow your bike, your car, or any vehicle you happen to be riding in. I've used it several times over the years for towing cars. One use and it's paid for itself.

Carried AAA for years now but have never had to use it. Availability and time frame are always a crap shoot with any towing service, you'll hear good and bad with any service.

That is 100% awesome. I've been with someone who had this premier service. We needed a flatbed for a BB512 F-car. It was about 125 miles from her garage, so we had it towed there. The driver took meticulous care in loading and securing the car. Very impressed we were. She still has the car. Parked next to her F40 & F50...
