Rescuemycar lot also do a policy which works out good value for 2 of you, equal cover but saves about a tenner each

Carol Nash have used a superb recovery company for years, which I have used twice, for two seperate bikes.



They have now started using the AA, which IMO.......will probably mean any breakdown recovery now will be complete sh1te!

Edit....they were called SOS motorcycle rescue and Recovery. Proper van, proper good blokes.

No reflection on anybody's choice and this is only my opinion but I found that the one time in the back of nowhere when I was with my banks recovery I was left for hours. Breaking down on Skye,not exactly a metropolis, the RAC had somebody there within the hour and although I probably pay top dollar I feel reassured by the service I and my wife have received from them in the past

N.B. I think my premium is about £100 ish but that is for any vehicle, both of us and even if we are a passenger in any other vehicle

This situation reminds me of something i saw on another site somewhere/somewhen.

They created a list of peoples phone numbers and what they could provide; tools, coffee, bed, tow, etc and a phone number that could be downloaded and stored on a phone so that in an emergency to pick out the nearest phone number and help is then at hand.
