If you break down without any cover you are not only causing a problem for yourself, but you are also putting that problem onto anybody else who stops to help you, because they don't feel that they can just leave you there, and if they stick you on pillion and take you home, they worry about a passing van lifting your bike, and they miss out on the rest of their ride-out.
If you have breakdown cover and you can't get the bike going again, at least those who stopped to help you can then leave you at the roadside, safe in the knowledge that the AA/RAC will pick up both you and your bike and see you home safe.
Instead of just you standing at the side of the road thinking "oh f**** I wish I'd bought breakdown cover", you also have somebody else stuck there with you thinking "oh f***** the silly t**t doesn't have breakdown cover, I'm stuck here with him for hours until we figure out a way of getting him and the bike home", and that's not fair.

RAC/AA: people with this sorta cover who aren't from scotland want to double check their Ts & Cs, I've recently bought breakdown with NCI, reason I chose them (other than price) was because AA & RAC's top packages wouldn't deliver me home from scotland they'd just take me to a garage. They also don't recover me in an accident, although that can be got around to a degree
