Default Breakdown / Recovery?

This may be a daft question, but do the big recovery firms e.g. AA / RAC / Green Flag etc cover Bikes or just cars?

Can't say I particularly fancy being stuck in the middle of nowhere on the bike!

Personally I think breakdown and recovery should be compulsory if you ride a bike.

So many things can sideline a bike plus in the unfortunate event of an off you can get the bike home or to a repairers.

Green Flag are good. AA may not recover you in the event of an accident. RAC do, but have varied reports on their service. There are quite a few companies around. I have cover courtesy of my bike insurance.
