Road Service

29 Dec 2011 11:33

Just purchased a hitch for my Van from ebay. This is my idea of road side emergency service for my bike once I have it out on the road. Also plan on stuffing the tie down straps under the seat for the first few months in case I do get stuck and there is a good Samaritan with a pick up that would be willing to help for a short distance. But I guess I am wondering what other people have for emergency road service contingencies? Do you use AAA or something else? What is a good value for the service?

I keep a tool bag with a few tools in it and have never needed them. These bikes are quite reliable with proper maintenance. I have an enclosed trailer if I crash them or they will not run for. It has been years for me since I have been STRANDED by my KZ's

Unfortunately but at the same time fortunately, just went through this myself...
AAA to the rescue. ;) B)

Informed the AAA customer service rep on the phone that I was down and out in the middle of the desert on my motorcycle. Please insure the pickup service where they must have the means to strap down a motorcycle.

All good, was home within 2 hours with my baby girl.
