Default road side assistance

I called my insurance company to check on roadside assist for a breakdown, flat, etc. Who do you have? cost?
thanks in advance.

i have AARP foremost bike insurance. for a few extra bucks a year i get unlimited towing and trip interruption coverage. voltage regulator went out in big bend(west texas) last spring. called the phone number on my insurance card and they sent a wrecker to haul me to the nearest dealer...250 miles to odessa. no mess, no fuss. i did not see the bill, but i am sure it was a lot. good people and good prices.

I have Allstate, with road assistance and I have my house and 2 cars, so my bike is only $175 a year for full coverage.

Apparently different local "clubs" have different policies & different levels of membership. My card from “AAA Northway" is “Plus RV” which includes motorcycles.
When I broke down traveling in Quebec, they hooked me up with their Canadian affiliate, CAA, & carried the bike to a Harley Davidson dealer.

P.S. I also have Progressive but never needed to use it. The less my insurance company knows about my riding problems, the better.

Hmmm.
I have Allstate too, with my homeowners and three cars, and they're gouging me for over $400/year for the scoot.
Time to shop around.
