A couple of years ago, while on I-70 between Kansas City and Nashville, I had a flat rear tire and had to have my bike towed on a flatbed to the nearest Honda dealer. Since then, I have let my HRCA membership expire.
With a couple of long road trips planned for this year, I started looking back into roadside coverage, and quickly found that flatbed towing is not covered on many plans.
For example, the AAA Plus coverage we have on our cars doesn't cover motorcycles. Even if you upgrade to their RV coverage, flat tire towing is still not covered.
Did a quick check last night on BP Motor Club and AMA Roadside Assistance, and both plans appear to have limited or no flatbed towing coverage.
Which leads me to my point: Last night I signed up for the Honda Roadside Assistance through Hal, at $120 for 5 years, or just $2.00 a month. Then I got to thinking about advice my Dad gave me many years ago, "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is."
While I still have time to change my mind on this, could I please get some shared experience from others who have more knowledge of the best roadside assistance plans that will cover towing to the nearest Honda dealer, on a flatbed, if you have a flat tire?
Many thanks!
