Bike Recovery.....

[chilli]

Nope, not needed yet. But who are we all with? The mrs has an AA card, so would it just be the easiest option to get me and the bike added, or are there better people out there?

Many thanks.

ISTR an article in MCN highlighting that lots of the big recovery companies wouldn't recover bikes if you'd binned them. RAC was one of the offenders.

I don't know the current situation though.

ISTR a big thread in here a few months ago....

Gawd I'm gettin grumpy!

Nah seriously mate, who is the fella with the Mille that lives across the road from some other PH'er on here? I believe the consensus then was that whomever he was with was probably best.

umm, is this suitably vague?

Sounds like chilli's neighbour.

CHILLI?

Chilli,

NCI are a good crowd, you can get either vehicle or personal cover. Personal cover covers you whatever of your vehicles you are in. The annual fee for personal cover is approx £70 and I think they partner with SOS for bike recovery.

I used the AA when i got binned on a roundabout i just told them i'd binned it the day before, it looked fine so i rode it home and on the way home it started leaking, in reality some twunt ttted me across the roundabout, a friend came out wheeled it to the shell garage across the road, we called the AA got recovered and then went to the hospital...

Umm, but you couldn't, like, remind me of what he says, could ya?

If you're thinking of going to Europe then it's also worth checking the cover you can get for that as this varies from company to company too.

I binned a Rocket III last year and the AA wouldn't come out because it was a crash and not a breakdown - so much for the forth emergency service they advertise themselves as!! I would consider bouncing a bike down the road more of an emergency than a reluctance to start in the morning!

Called the RAC and they came immediately - although with a spindly little trailer that the Rocket would barely fit on, but I was past caring by then.

Recovery through the insurance company.

Never used it no idea who would come out, but its ment to be bike specific.

Cost £48 for full home start UK recovery, hire car, etc... Good value. IMO
