I am planning in a cross country trek in March (50CC) and was wondering if having the BMW RA would be worthwhile. I know AAA also offers a bike option. What does everyone think?
Thanks,

If you get the AAA+ then your bike, your cars, and anything your riding in is covered. I have only had the BWM roadside assistance when I buy a new bike. I have never paid to extend it so I don't know what it costs but I bet its less money for the AAA+ with its better coverage.
You might check into the AMA Motow insurance which comes FREE with your AMA membership. It covers all your bikes and cars too. I got my bike hauled out of Death Valley into Vegas and avoided a $725.00 tow bill with AMA MoTow. Ahm a beleeva! And supporting the American Motorcyclist Association is a good thing too.

That's a good deal. I had the free AMA Motow, but dropped it when I became a lifetime member and had to start paying for the Motow insurance. I never had to use it, but when I had Motow, they would only cover a 35 mile tow. Looking at the AMA website, they still show a 35 mile limit.
BTW, with AMA you become a lifetime member after 25 years and no longer have to pay a membership fee, but you loose the free towing insurance.
Yes, well my card said 35 miles on the back also, but apparently they will pay to tow you to the nearest motorcycle shop. They don't advertise it. -Sirby

The tow costs me an extra $250.00 because the RA would only pay for a 35 mile tow.

It costs me about $ 39./yr to add my motorcycle to my basic AMA membership. .

There are several different plans out there so just do some research and find what fits your needs.
