JaimeWG's got a great point.
Plus, I was up in the mountains with a group of people. A friend of mine with an '85 FL broke down. 5 cell phones between us and no one had signal. Roadside assistance did us no good at all.
I have AAA RV Plus, but I got it for piece of mind for my wife, especially when she travels with our kids. In addition, I get at least $10 off a hotel. When your on the road on a bike, it's not easy to plan ahead and make reservations for stops along the way. So getting a discount on an impromptu stop is a benefit to me. Just the discounts, 10-11 stays pays for the membership for me.
I had a flat tire one evening travelling back from Charlotte. The entire tire came off the rim, so I couldn't plug it myself. I tried the HOG Roadside Assistance. I think I'd still be sitting there if my father in law didn't ride up to help out. The people on the phone were skeptical about helping me at 9:30 in the evening.
Besides - these bikes don't lock up like cars. Getting towed to the nearest Harley shop isn't going to get you much security. Unless you plan on sleeping on the concrete beside it until the dealer opens.
I also have the national HOG membership. I really like the trip planner.
