Classic bike breakdown cover

<< < (2/2)

Brian.:
+1 for Auto Aid Personal policy.  I've had to call them out twice over the years; once for my VFR750 and once for my car when one pothole burst two tyres. They give absolutely superb service just when you need it.

£60 a year, for whatever vehicles you have, and no age limit.  Vehicle age that is.  ;D

Like Charlie mentioned above, it comes with a Footman James policy - never needed it myself, but a mate who is also with FJ used it when his RD500 seized up on a rideout they sent a RAC van with a foldup bike trailer stashed neatly in the van; I thought that was pretty cool, sadly the RD500 wasn't! ::) 

Bike cover also comes with my RAC cover for the Eurobox.

I get cover though my insurance, though I have used AA and rac in the past. All use sub contractors a lot. Of the Aa and rac I found rac better, they'd send recovery rather than fix whereas every time Aa insisted on sending out a repair guy - cue 2 hours wait, then he'd confirm it's not a roadside repair, cue 2 hours wait for recovery. A really irritating policy. Rac don't like sending recovery without a second oppinon but they can at least accept that a big hole in your piston and spark plug covered in molten alloy is not a roadside repair without sending a mechanic to verify it! Back when I used Carol nash, their recovery agent was about the only recovery driver who actually turned up with both the knowledge and skills to fix a bike, and a decently suited van, rather than a 16 foot flatbed. Wasn't a fixable breakdown though, gearbox was shot. BMW quality strikes again. Those old airheads got me very familiar with breakdown trucks. That driver said they carried more BMW motorbikes than anything else.

Thanks for the replies, just insured the bike so I think Autoaid sounds like the one for me
