I've said it before and I'll say it again - Green Flag Personal Cover. Me, the wife, my son, all covered on one policy for: home start, roadside assistance, full recovery, in any car or on any bike. The principal named vehicle has automatic free continental cover. When you ring up, they listen, will bring you fuel, will fix it if they can or come with motorcycle specific recovery vehicle if you ask for it - ready to take you all the way home. Never waited more than an hour - indeed I once walked the mile home to call the breakdown in (fan belt) they were waiting at the car when I got back! They use local garages and pay them a good retainer - the guys are always polite, understanding and skilled. Try it. I have had bikes recovered on a flat bed capable of lifting a 4X4, a mini van with a drop down bike specific loading ramp and holding shoe, and a spectacle type frame across the rear of a winch truck - never so much as a scratch.

My mate had a seven hour **** up with AA ten miles from home recently - they said they couldn't recover the bike because it had fairings on - and there was nowhere to fasten ropes.......... I got him home in 40 minutes on my trials bike trailer, but he had to wait a couple of hours until I had finished work!
