AA breakdown cover

I removed the rear seat section of plastic from my K1 and cable tied a can of Holts Tyre Weld to the frame and then squeezed the plastic back over the top - havent lost any underseat storage and the SVs toolkit contains all I need to extract it again should the worst happen

Oh and I am with Carole Nash insurance, and will hopefully never have to be recovered!

Just received my "Welcome to the AA" letter. The amazing thing is
that the AA offers to provide the same letter in other versions,
in particular, large print, audio and Braille. I understand that a blind
person can, in principle, join the AA so as to be covered as a passenger
but nevertheless I would guess blind people form a tiny percentage
of those joining the AA. I think it is political correctness gone mad.

I was just reading about the red and blue teams at Trafalgar day, thinking of this. Utter utter nonsense.

Anyway, your homework on this has been a great help Prof.

Does anyone know how much it costs to add accident recovery??

I'll be joining the AA shortly, and Im more worried about having an off and needing to get somewhere than a normal break down...

You are right, Gareth, that recovery after minor accidents is the
most important issue for us. Unfortunately, my understanding is that
you can't add accident recovery to standard AA packages. It seems
that you have to pay after the accident happens and the price
depends on the distance you need your vehicle transported.

Ahh well, I may have to just bite the bullet then..
with the way my luck has been recently, I could really have done with such an option! hehe

Ive had a 25% off letter posted to me as my AA cover that came with the bike is about to run out.... so I think I will use that shortly..
no harm in asking over the phone as well I suppose

Thanks Professor!

I called the AA after an unfortunate drop at a petrol station and broke my front brake lever. I didn't tell them that it was an accident, just that my brake lever had broken, they recovered me home as a normal breakdown at no extra cost.

So it's always worth a try if the damage isn't to bad.
