With gas getting so expensive it might be cheaper to have it towed home than drive it.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;

You pay - they play, simple as that.&nbsp\\; Did you ask to speak to a Supervisor, that usually shakes them up!

The HOG magazine reminds me of the magazine I get from Ford telling me what a genius I was to buy a Ford F 150 and why I should get another one.&nbsp\\; Harley is in the business of selling bikes and accessories (to include clothing, jewelry and shot glasses).&nbsp\\; You should not be surprised that HOG is just one more marketing attempt and the services that come with membership are not particularly valuable unless hanging out with other HOG members is your idea of a good time.

We have a winner, I have a friend that had a flat on his bike when we were riding from Jackson, Tennessee, to Forkland Alabama, to BamaFest. We were near Corinth Mississippi, it took about 45 minutes for HOG roadside assistance to find a wrecker. He did eventually get a flat bed wrecker for a ride to Lake Hill Honda for a new tube, kudos to Lake Hill Honda as they started working on the bike as soon as it was off the wrecker even&nbsp\\;though it was&nbsp\\;a Harley, it took less time to fix the tire than it did to get a wrecker. The wrecker driver told my friend on the ride to the shop that HOG roadside assistance only pays up to a certain amount, I think it was $100.00 for the tow. It didn't cost my friend anything for the tow.

More than likely, it was a matter of no one had a truck available for what they wanted to pay.
