There is a difference between Allstate Motor Club and Allstate RV.
...
Many roadside assistance plans have a mileage limitation for a tow. 35 miles and 100 miles are the most typical. That may work for a Ford in Dallas but it may not work so well for a BMW motorcycle in west Texas, or most places west of the Mississippi for that matter. Allstate RV provides no-cost towing to "the nearest qualified service facility." If I need a tire that might be an all brands motorcycle shop. But if it is a BMW specific failures - HES, stator, switch gear, etc - it will be a tow to the nearest BMW dealership even if that is 400 or 500 miles away. Where I live a 35 mile tow won't get me to a grocery store, let alone a qualified repair facility. As with most things, the fine print matters.
And yes to Jenny Morgan's RR on her big long test ride around the country on her 310 GS. It's a really good RR where she does her best to push the bike to all of its limitations and writes it all down for you to check out. She's a very nice person who has a lot a lot of offroad experience and her threads tend to be a lot of fun. I threw some $$ to her when she went to the Dakar and have been following her for years.
Sorry I didn't think to throw up her thread before ebell did, I must have been drunk.
Help me out then, I can't find anything on Allstate that gives unlimited towing.

If I had a hammer...
Hey guys,
Just a note. I realized that my G 310GS tool kit did not include a sparkplug socket ???? Why not ??
After seeing the work involved on a video about changing the sparkplug I'm thinking that BMW Motorrad is thinking that most owners don't want to mess with this.
Paul,Voni,…... did either of you discover the lack of a sparkplug socket missing on your 310's tool pouch as odd ??
