AAA towing
just got back from a 1600 mile trip and had to experience a rear flat tire on my ultra while riding down hiway 22 in Oregon. a towing company showed up and the driver was so meticulous while tying down my bike it almost brought a tear to my eye. wouldn't think of any other service than AAA. consolidated towing out of Bend was great as well. got my bike to wildhorse the next morning and within an hour and a half we were back on the road.

In the good old days before having a rollback was standard equipment for a tow company, but when wheel lifts were common, we'd pick the bike up with straps with the boom, and strap the wheels down to the wheel lift. Believe it or not the bike was pretty secure if you had good straps and gould get under the seat to the frame to hook up

AMA Road service has worked best for me,I also have AAA,they only go 10 mi and HOG IS worthless. The $$ spent for AMA membership has paid for itself as It covers all vehicles your in regardless who owns it. JMO

Also used AAA for the Harley. The tow company was exceptional. I don't care so much about the reimbursement, but what inline about AAA is 24/7 access to one phone number, and voila a great tow company show up. To be, no other consuderstion.

We have towing through our bike insurance as well as an AAA RV membership.
We're also HOG Life Members and have access to their towing program.
I'll stick with AAA and if they're not available I'll pay cash then ask them for a reimbursement if I ever need road service.

Check out this thread I started a few days ago. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...lly-sucks.html I broke down in Alberta on a trip through Alberta and BC. Called AAA US # on my card and had outstanding service. 2nd time I've had to use them and they been outstanding both times.
