I have relay, this means if they need to recover your bike they will take it and you to any UK destination. Which is quite useful as I was picked up near Southampton and taken back to Swindon. You try getting your local garage to travel 70 odd miles to pick you up on a Saturday.

Just a thought...

Agree. I also have relay (for myself and for Mrs Professor).

AA.

Used them several times and now my drinking is under control.

Seriously I have used the AA on 7 or 8 occasions over 20 years, I have considered saving a few quid but always though better of it.

When you need them you really need them.

Never needed them for a bike though!

Got to agree with Ceri on this one. On all counts. I have AA cover and it has proved useful. They are cheap, but, and it's a big but, they do not cover for accident recovery. You can get this but at an extra cost, then it's not so cheap anymore.

I have RAC membership which also covers me on the bike, and was cheaper than the equivalent AA policy (relay recovery for me & car / bike to anywhere in the UK)

I had to call them out to my car last week and was very impressed, they arrived in 15 mins in rush hour traffic.

Haven't had occasion to call them out to the bike yet though.

My dad's with the AA and for a little extra (don't know maybe £30) i'm covered too, they cover the driver so i can be in my girlfriens car and they'll come get me - cool -
