HOG to the resue
We took a run to St. Augustine today. I did a dumb **** and left the ignition on. Two hours later no start.
Called HOG and went through their verification BS. A half hour later a truck shows up and gives me a jump and we are on our way home to Orlando. Sometimes it does work like it is supposed to!!
I've seen so many negative posts that I was expecting a long wait, but I was pleasently surprised!!

Glad it worked for you. I had a similar problem, called HOG, and was told that the dealership in town would close in 15 minutes and they would not be able to do anything until the next day. 
I told them I just needed to be jump started. They told me they could not do this, but they could send a wrecker and transport my bike to the dealer to be jump started the next day. 
I jump started it myself and went on my way.

I myself wouldn't call HOG for a jump. I'd get er' done somehow myself quicker.

Way to go Rick O'shay! You just reminded me that I need to put the short pair of jumper cables I made up for just that reason...back in my saddlebags. I have never needed them myself...but I would hate to miss the opportunity to get someone else back on the road for such a simple need.

I jump started it myself and went on my way.finally they took me of hold told me dealer was closing in 1 hour and had no one to come out on that short notice. Call back tomorrow
next dead battery in Ten. Saturday same thing call back monday they are closing. got a jump got home
called monday to ask why service was hard to get. i asked for the manager got a female with foreign accent she said for what you pay you will get service when the dealer is open.
you can call a local tow we will reimburse a reasonable fee. I said thank you and hung up
Renewal notice came i threw it away i received 4 more the last one had threatening notice that i would be canceled. So i called them to make sure they did i was offered a discount and maybe better service.
I also did not receive my HOG tales the last year

I have HOG and just as a back up (cause we have them for other vehicles too), I have AAA...
I would probably be more confident in AAA

Like some of you guys, i have heard good and bad about the HOG towing, etc. My only experience with HOG was when my bike stopped running and i called them for a tow. Within 20 minutes a tow company called me, and within another 15 minutes they were at my location loading my bike, and taking it to the dealer. i never seen a bill, or anything negitave at all about the whole deal. In fact, HOG called me back to make sure they picked my bike up as promised. 1st time..... good. Next time...... ???
