I tried the Hog tow a few weeks ago, called and they were very nice. Waited almost 2 hours in the 95 degree sun and figured out how to start the bike without the tow. Rode it home and fixed the problem myself. Their first solution was a tow to a dealer who said it would take them 2 weeks before they looked at my bike!

It's a good idea to compile a list of questions and scenarios and call your insurance agent about your roadside asst. Not all are the same and some are worthless. I just got off the phone with mine and she was a B***C. Getting answers was like pulling teeth and she acted like she was too busy to be bothered with my questions. When i called her an A**H**E she threatened me but i know she would never divorce me.

Does your "RV package" cost you more than $20.00 a year extra on your policy? Unless you have a boat or rv, think about cutting your rv policy to save money and just pat the $20.00 a year for towing. Just a thought.

Roadside Assistance & Towing
I had carried AAA Motorclub cards for 20 years - until I found out about this. I dropped AAA 2 years ago because this covers my Motorhome, Motorcycle, Trailer, and all of my cars.

Riding with 2 other couples this past Sunday and one of the bikes ('06 Road King) had the clutch cable go limp.
We were about 5 miles from the guy's house, all uphill, when it happened.
Called HOG for a tow at 9:45 am. We called them back at 10:45 am. The only tow they could arrange was 1 1/2 hours out, and was going to cost $188 for the tow. (About 5 miles). HOG would pay $100, leaving $88 out-of-pocket.
Called a friend and he came by with a trailer to help us out.
Guess the problem was that it was a Sunday, but I'm keeping my AAA RV card and Foremost Insurance card handy if I ever need a tow.

Bushy, did you read entire post? The dealer plan is the basic bottom line plan that does only permit one tow for year.
This is what you need to do: go to www.members.hog.com and register with your hog membership number. You can find the number on the plastic credit card looking card they send you after you bike a new bike or or join on your own. This will give you access to the members only area. Once in the members area, look for an article that describes the road side assistance program. It will explain the different plans and what they cover. If you pay $20.00 you can upgrade to the deluxe plan for unlimited tows per year with un limited miles, and they pay the tow bill in full.

remember all you guys that keep saying it is $20.00 per year, you have to be a hog member, so that adds another $40.00 or so.....
my one and only experience with hog towing sucked ***. stuck on the side of the road for 6 hrs. they never did come out, i was constantly on the phone with them also.
i think i pay about $7.00 more per year for the towing on my insurance policy and the coverage is better than the 'bottom tier' hog package.
if you're happy with hog, great. i hope what happened to me never happens to you and you can continue to be happy.
