AA RAC etc is an insurance policy.
If you cant fix they take you (and the piece of shit you rode in on) home.
It is far cheaper to have than to need.
Just sayin'.
Ensure you pay for the cover you need.
And they do not like to be maintenance support for Ramshackle vehicles.
And if you take an unreliable vehicle on an extended journey then the breakdowns are part of the 'experience'. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

The idea of breakdown recovery is to have it in place for when you need it, not just before impending doom to electrics, of which you've had plenty of warning going by your other thread.
I'd be amazed if they take you home, having clearly taken out the policy after the fault developed, but best of luck though.
To be honest, I used Autoaid for years until they wouldn't cover my campervan. With this you used to pay the recovery and claim it back.
I had 3 claims repaid, one was over 200 miles recovering a 3 tonne 4WD and a caravan was only around £350. Getting a bike recovered from an independent breakdown agent, may not be as expensive as you think. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

If you know someone who has any vehicle breakdown cover that they'd be willing to let you use then that would be a solution.
As your bike is at a service station, it's entirely possible that since arriving you've managed to lose your keys and that's a perfect reason for why you and your bike need recovering to your destination. |

My electrics have been fine except the bad earth on the sidelight, the reg rec burnt out which is common on the vtr.. I took recovery out before I broke down as on the way to newcastle it run a bit funny a couple of times and I've been meaning to get recovery anyway... besides the recovery is there for if my dodgy bike breaks down ____________________ Fin: no matter how much I look at It I can't understand what was going through my head, all I remember is going about 80 and redlining it to stop it seizing.

So your electrics were fine apart from the electrical problem it already had, which you asked for advice on here about, but did nothing to investigate further.... righto, completely fine then.

Would it be worth carrying a spare then?
Despined_By_Ex wrote: | I took recovery out before I broke down |
Yep, half an hour before it broke down according to you. Pull the other one.

Cobblers, you admitted to taking it out half an hour before it broke down at Wetherby. It's in the OP.
Despined_By_Ex wrote: | Tldr reg rec went 350 miles from home ..
Took out breakdown half hour before luckily... Got recovered to services because my nationwide cover doesn't cover me until 24h after I take it out.. |
You started to break down, pulled over, ordered breakdown then limped the 20 miles to Wetherby services, with your "previously ordered because it was a bit funny days ago" breakdown cover.
Quote: | Battery died on my bike last night at Newcastle, charged it up and it's been fine.. got to weatherby and my rev counter went to 0 then shortly after speedo did too, all dash lights went odometer went off... pulled over left ignition on, ripped heated grip wiring out and disconnected headlight bulb and rode for 20 miles at 85~ pulled into weatherby services and turned it off and no power to start it... |
You can lie to the breakdown people, but if you're going to lie to everyone on here, you could at least edit the posts proving it. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.
