QUESTION:

How do I go about getting proper towing and roadside assistance coverage should I ever have a breakdown or if I were to have a crash?

ANSWER:

Most motorcycle insurance companies offer coverage for you should your bike become disabled from either a mechanical problem or from a crash.  The cost of such coverage is usually very little.  However, you get what you pay for.  Many Insurance policies who offer this coverage limit you to who and where they will tow your cycle.  Most policies will pay to only take the bike to the nearest repair shop.  This comes as a surprise and disappointment for many. 

Your best bet is a get a AAA towing membership under their “R.V. PLUS” program.  You get up to 4 tows a year and can go up to 100 miles to a repair shop of your choice.
