    24-Hour Roadside Assistance for motorcycle

    I'm trying to get a decent 24-Hour Roadside Assistance for my motorcycle. Anyone have a good option? I call AAA and they do not cover motorcycle in MA.

    I think the AMA has a motorcycle specific program for road assistance

    Yep... just join the American Motorcyclist Association and let them automatically charge your card each year for membership... and the towing is free!

    It covers anything you're driving for you ... and your spouse and children.

    It helps all motorcyclists... and makes sense.

    I used mine when I was towing my trailer with my bike in it. They towed the truck and the trailer.

    If everyone that rode a motorcyclist joined the AMA... we'd have a much stronger voice!

    Try your insurance company.

    yup ...been a member of AMA for 2-3 years now. its not as big/speardout as AAA, but you do get offers/discounts at a few stores etc, but the main thing is you`ll get roadside assistance.

    if that is not an option, you can try your insurance company. most of them provide roadside assistance.

    Re: 24-Hour Roadside Assistance for motorcycle

    I've used the AMA coverage and found it quite useful, but there is a caveat—the towing coverage is for 35 miles. If you happen to be near home or a shop you want to use, that's great; if not, it can be a bit tougher (but may also allow you to get the bike towed somewhere safe until you can get back with a trailer or parts or whatnot).

    I still agree that joining the AMA is a good idea. I don't agree entirely with their politics, but if more riders joined, the impact of the organization would be much stronger.
