Hi
I have a bike which has been in my garage for over 2 years. The fuel is off, brakes are seized etc. Can I call the AA (I have Homestart plus all the bells & whistles policy). Basically, I need it towing to the garage.

No. Read the exlcusions on your policy. "Left hanging around in a shed for 2 years" is not really a breakdown. Some don't even pick you up if you run out of fuel.
