Is there an equivalent to a service like AAA but for motorcycles?

I had AMA motow and the one time I needed to use them it was a disaster.

I have now have AAA RV plus and I have had to use it for my motorcycle a few times. Never had any issues. One time I needed to be towed 50+ miles to dealers (my stator fried on a road trip) and AAA got me to the dealer with no problems. (the dealer fixed my bike and got me back on my trip in a reasonable amount of time).

I dont think I realized there was premiere version on the RV plus. I am going to upgrade as I will going on a 4000 mile trip at the end of the month.

AAA is the way to go. I have read too many horror stories about the Hog towing package on here.

Appreciate the info. I am also looking at coverage for an upcoming trip to CO/UT/AZ in July. A buddy who has toured extensively for years on Harley's gives a strong recommendation for Road America, $29/yr premium coverage. Covers roadside assistance, towing, and overnight stay in motel if needed, etc.

do you have to have insurance on your auto through
aaa in order to get the roadside coverage? or can you only have
the rv/motorcycle coverage?

If you have a cell phone EMT's are trained to look for " I.C.E. " ( in case of emergency ), in you phone. Just takes a minute to put in there.

Aid to Injured Motorcylist... Its a free service..

Its a service you hope you never have to use, however, especially being that you are taking a solo ride it will be good to have. Should something happens to you on the road, the police, hospital etc. will see you have AIM either on your key chain or in your wallet.

The call the 800 number to report that you were injured etc. and then they will contact your family etc. they also offer other services.

The web-site is: WWW.ON-A-BIKE.COM
