I would probably be more confident in AAA
Might want to check, AAA won't tow motorcycles, you'll need AAA-RV for that, cost extra too.

I have HOG, AMA and my insurance company offers trip interruption service...hope I don't need them. I also carry pig tails for jumps and Stop and Go tire repair kit along with a Slime air pump....hope to never need them either....

Unhappy

I had the HOG towing .. What a joke.
I picked up a nail in my rear tire while on a camping trip in the hills of West Virginia.
It was the saturday afternoon before Memorial day. I had a way to plug the tire, but no way to fill it with air. Called HOG and told them my problem, they told me the only thing they could do was send out a tow truck to pick up my bike and take it to a "secured area" till the following Tuesday, then they would have it taken to a Harley dealer for repair.
Swell ! Just what was I suppost to do for three days without a ride, and forty miles from the camp ground I was staying at? They said they couldn't help me with that, only with the towing. I said .... NUTS ! and was thinking this could make me a nervous wreck!
Just then a young kid drove by in his Dads pickup truck, he stopped and asked if he could help me. I told him I was in need of a way to put air in my tire. He went home and loaded up his dads air compressor and brought it back and helped me fill the tire. I was so grateful I gave the boy $40.00 for his trouble.
Sure saved my bacon.
Will I try to use HOG towing again ? NOT !
