Or...make sure you get breakdown recovery as part of your insurance.

Depends on how much they want to charge you-I had Carole Nash with breakdown cover year 1, then it was much cheaper to get a good insurance deal and add on AA cover for £29.

Same here......or I just phone my other half to come out in his van

I cannot help with your bike issue although i would be concerned at alarms being bypassed and imobillisers etc.
As far as breakdown goes, remember we ride bikes,they can easily be crashed and lots of breakdown covers will not come out to you after a crash,just a thought

Word of warning have had so many problems with bikers when my was in waranty let alone out. I would make sure they dont just go ahead and fit new parts and charge you an arm and a leg for it.

the cause of beakdown was a failed ignition control unit, the black box under passenger seat...... 450 squid new from mr suzuki, WANTED desperately!!!! icu or any information on pattern part or speacialist supplier please 99-02 sv650

I joined Rescue my car.com the night before our EAR rideout last month, as I was worried I'd have some kind of breakdown like you did

Was only £29

Me too. Used them for a few years now, going back to when they were NCI. Always had good service from them too. I repair my own punctures and they never quibbkle about revovering me to home.

When I used Ebikes insurance they sent out the RAC. The man arrived and said yup I cant fix it, so i'll call the bike recovery unit. This keeps their response times down. With NCi/Rescue my bike.com they send out local people who are suitable for your vehicle.

In case anyone isn't aware, in your recovery plan should be a thing called 2nd recovery. So if you break down at night they cant recover you to a dealers or garage. But, they should do this, if you need it, on the next working day. Check your policy to make sure its included as, IMHO, its essential.

Hey, I was gonna join the AA but I was on their website and it didn't have a special option for bikes.. So I called and the woman said you just buy a normal policy and that it covers bike too. is that right?

At the moment you can get home start, roadside and relay for £107 and also then £50 back via quidco on that so I was thinking of getting the personal cover so both my bikes are covered (well whichever I am riding anyway)

Or just make sure you've got a manual, some tools and a brain at home. You only ever need to buy these once
