New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
I think it's somewhat strange that in the US, Moto Guzzi provides a 2-year warranty on new bikes but only a 1-year roadside assistance coverage. Even stranger is that when the 1-year plan ends, there's no apparent way to renew it. Does anyone have a recommendation for a roadside assistance plan? In my state, AAA avoids having anything to do with motorcycles. My liability insurance company (GEICO) does offer roadside assistance, but only as part of collision coverage, which I don't want and don't want to pay for. I joined AMA for one year because membership includes roadside assistance, but I didn't renew because I couldn't abide by AMA's political stances. Are there any other roadside assistance plans out there? Thanks, Sam
I had GEICO MC coverage and it's a joke. AMA is your best solution unless you don't care how much you end up paying. AMA covers ALL your vehicles, not just MCs. Don't know anywhere else you can get that. Ignore your political preferences.
Check with your insurance provider and see if they have that as an option. I had it through progressive for something like 4 dollars / bike.
If you are an AMA member and sign up for automatic annual renewal, they throw in the roadside service for free. I've used it several times. Car, moto. Slow but functional. I think if you also do a 3-year advance membership to AMA they then also throw in the service.Patrick HayesFremont CA
Hey , the salary is huge for doing this job Actually , in this case , Lannis is probably correct , the AMA plan is probably the best , not sure about their politics , never paid much attention . Dusty
sib, I understand the "political preferences" thing; it's why I don't buy Progressive Insurance. (The founder named it that for a reason).
Really, I didn't realize that. I'll have to look into switching to them.
That's what I do. Let them hit your credit card automatically, and the roadside assistance is free.Lots of people don't like doing that sort of thing, but lord have mercy, it's the way I pay ALL my bills these days. AMA sends you a notice a month ahead of time that it's coming.
It appears that if you sign up for three years at a time, you get free roadside assistance without automatic credit card billing.
...In my state, AAA avoids having anything to do with motorcycles.
I'm not questioning you, but in our state, they're happy to handle motorcycles if you pay for the extra plan. The regular plan is only for cars. So, when my year is up, will sign back up {used it before} for the extra AAA coverage. I think it's mostly for sending you a flat bed rather than a regular tow truck....applies to a number of exotic sports cars as well if you only want flatbed service.
Best bet is a good contact list and willing people.
If in Central Oklahoma and ya need help, call me. I'll bring a trailer.
What if I had more than one beer and just needed a ride Darren ? Dusty
Do you have more beer?????
Well, whaddayaknow, I just checked again, and beginning this year (2015) AAA Southern New England does indeed offer motorcycle coverage. You already have to be a Plus ($82/year) or Premiere ($112/year) member, and pay $30 more a year for motorcycle roadside assistance. Still more expensive than AMA if all you want is motorcycle coverage. So, it's a net of at least $67 more than AMA, and I don't think my political preferences are strong enough to merit paying an extra $67/year, especially since I'm not particularly fond of AAA's political stances, either.
One thing to note that at least in Florida being a AAA Plus member lets you pick the the location of where to drop off your vehicle up to 100 miles away three times per year.A Premiere membership gets you up to 200 miles once a year and 100 miles twice a year.When there's not a good service center nearby that service could be helpful.
I have GEICO and had the opportunity o use the roadside assistance. Worked perfectly. Made the call, gave them a location near some sign and 20 minutes later, service.
