New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
AMA (used to be called MOTOW) has worked for me the two times I needed it.
SO, when you throw the bearings on one side of your trailer, with your new to you bike 150 miles from home, what do you do?You survey the situation and then start calling those you pay to help you.AAA, sorry you have plus service but you need plus plus! GreatBMW roadside, could not understand their broken english but at the end of it all he said, sorry, no coverage for that. Strike 2Enter a good ol boy from Missouri going to get some good Casey’s pizza who happened by. Yes he too is a biker.He made several trips to Tractor Supply and his house, near by, and stayed with us 3.5 hours!Finally calling his buddy who has a mobile mechanic service and after surveying the situation, wrong hub and Tractor Supply was now closed!He rebuilt the old hub and said, this will get you home, albeit without a dust cap because the hub had been compromised.These 2 really blessed us and we did get home at midniught, aftter stopping every 50 miles or so to check the hub and going 55-60 mph.Cancelled AAA and going to let the BMW roadside lapse.Any GOOD services left out there?Bottom line is, the help from complete strangers got us back on the road when the 2 paid services did not.inditxp.s. Put an extra hub with bearings in your tow vehicle for such a time as this…...
We live off of a stretch of old Route 66, and get a lot of bike traffic, and many foreign riders. We rescue a few every year. Everything from minor accidents to flat tires to mistakenly filling the tank with diesel.We occasionally get a call from our local group. That's what you get when you own a truck and a trailer !As far as "roadside assistance", we have AAA++ - and of the two times that I tried to use it, I wound up using my cell phone to find a suitable towing company, instead. That card is useful, though - for discounts at motels, restaurants, etc.
My 1st and only experience with Progressive insurance's road service was horrible. Don't depend on then Flo is a lying *^€><#•[/quoteDon't mince words...what do you really think??!!??I also didn't have a good experience with Progessive. My AMA membership however has been great for roadside help.Ride safe and often...Jeff
