Roadside assistance plans recommendations

[marshall eriksen]

I'm looking into getting a reliable roadside assistance plan for my TW200. I've had a few close calls last year where I barely made it to a shop, and I don't want to push my luck again. I do a mix of long-distance travels and local rides, and I want something that isn't just limited to towing but maybe includes fuel delivery and battery help too. Would love to know what you guys are using and what's worked best.

If you're lookin for motorcycle coverage, I'd definitely check out AAA or maybe something like RiderClub or Encore Protection. They've got you covered for towing, dropping off fuel, battery jumps,all the essentials you'd need on the road. I personally rely on AAA, and let me tell you, it's come thru for me more times than I can count

By the way, are there any other riders out there with solid plans for dual-sport trips? I'd love to hear what works for you

Why are you leaning toward a separate roadside plan instead of checking if your insurance or credit card already includes motorcycle coverage?

Many riders go with AMA Roadside Assistance (free with membership) or companies like AAA or Good Sam, which cover motorcycles and offer towing, fuel delivery, and battery assistance.
AMA is popular for longdistance riders, while AAA coverage depends on your region. Just make sure the plan specifically includes motorcycles, some don't by default.

I agree, these are popular choices. A lot of riders also vouch for towing services bundled with insurance, like through Progressive or GEICO. Are you leaning more toward standalone coverage or something bundled with your current policy?
