Just curious if anyone here had any recommendations on motorcycle roadside service companies.
I've been doing some fairly long rides lately and it would just add to the comfort level to know you
could call for a trailer if the need arises.

Thanks.

AAA Plus plan=Moto and RV towing up to 100 miles.

Keep tie down extenders (nylon webbing loops) on your bike for those occasions if it should ever happen. Tow drivers may have tie downs, but on a lot of bikes those tie down hooks can do a lot of damage. Sportbikes should carry a Canyon Dancer for the clip ons.

Also be aware that some major roads (like most toll roads) only allow row trucks from "authorized" companies to tow from that road. I've broken down on the Mass Pike and the AAA tow trucks in that area were not allowed on the pike, so I had to pay and submit it for (limited) reembursement.

Limited = You will be reimbursed for the covered services at the prevailing rate for the region.

Things may have changed since I broke down or someone was not truthful to me a while back.......

From the MAssPike website
Those who need towing may call the company of their choice, or, may choose a towing company selected by competitive bid to offer the lowest price along the MassPike and the Metropolitan Highway System. If a vehicle is in an unsafe location, the State Police may authorize immediate towing.

A lot of insurance companies will offer roadside assistance, also. However, most like GEICO only cover up to $50 dollars. Check with your insurance.

I have AAA plus

I have roadside assistance from my insurance company and it wasn't exactly what I thought it was going to be the one time I thought about using it. I called the number and my insurance company asked me where I was then gave me the numbers of 3-4 local towing companies that would help me out and take my insurance :| I'm there on the side of the road scrambling to write down all these numbers and then its up to me to call and find one that can help me. Not exactly like calling AAA and having someone dispatched. I ended up calling a friend

I have purchased roadside assistance through my insurance co. Fairly inexpensive. Not sure how good something is till you need it. So far so good!
