Just got my renewal invoice for another year and I'm debating whether or not to renew. I primarily only want roadside assistance and don't really care for all the other 'fluff'. Any other good motorcycle-based roadside assistance plans out there that are equal or better? I know AAA will tow my motorcycle in the event of a breakdown but I don't think I want to get my bike towed by someone who has no experience towing a bike.

 

I've gotten the "free" 1 year membership twice with new purchases and never renewed...didn't see the use, but I think if you were doin some serious touring(as in all over the country with extended stays in different areas), then it might be different, and some of the benefits would pay off...

 

I can say,, the wife and I have had numerous , great times at many diff Hog rallies.
we enjoy it,,,, never had the need for the R.S. assitance though

 

Trust me the HOG roadside assistance is not specialized roadside assistance for motorcycles. The one and only time I used the HOG service the tow company had no special ability, demonstrated by the fact they dropped the bike on the rollback deck while in transit to the dealership, add to that the basic service only pays up to $100 it won't get you far. The last time I was towed it was AAA service and they found a company that was motorcycle ready and they covered 100% of what would have been a $400+ call. Don't let roadside assistance make the HOG decision for you.

I like the rags that come in the mail

 

My dealership gives a 10% discount to HOG members - that's the only reason I stay on board. With that and my two bikes it pays for itself REALLY fast!

 

personally NO!!
I get roadside assistance from my insurance company.
I get better insurance rates from my insurance company
I get a map or atlas most anywhere or download from the internet.
Get better and more tech tips here than their mag.

 

I had my 1 year freebie and that's where it ended...............I really didn't see any benefit to paying $45/year for nothing since they already got $21000 out of me.

Looks like my mind is made up. With the added comfort of knowing AAA will tow it via a motorcycle-capable carrier there is no real reason to renew as I am not a user of any of their offerings. (The HOG sticker is on my kid's BMX bike, he thought it was cool).

I enjoy the local group and also enjoy the 10% off at the local dealer for HOG memebers. You have to join the national to join thelocal to get the 10%.
