Nice Roadside Assistance Package From AMA
 

Ripped from another board but too damn good to not pass along.

* Wheel and tire road hazard coverage for the member's vehicles, including trailers.
* No exclusions for older motorcycles.
* Up to five dispatched service calls per year.
* Towing a disabled motorcycle or other vehicle to a shop or the member's home.
* Emergency Trip Interruption Service: Up to $100 a day for three days ($300) in reimbursement for meals and lodging if a member's car or motorcycle is disabled in an accident, and/or while the member's vehicle is being repaired far from home.
* Toll-free assistance available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from two national call centers.

AMA's site

There are other good reasons to be an AMA member, but this is exactly what I've been looking for. Here's a quick breakdown of the membership packages too:

* AMA Champion ($39) is the new, best-value membership. It costs the same as the previous "Full" membership and includes all existing member benefits. AMA Champions also receive free AMA Roadside Assistance on all of their vehicles when they opt-in for auto-renewal of their memberships.

* AMA Competition Plus ($39) is the new best-value membership for those who enjoy racing with the AMA. It costs the same as the previous "Competition" membership and includes all existing member benefits. Like AMA Champions, AMA Competition Plus members get free AMA Roadside Assistance on all of their vehicles when they opt-in for auto-renewal of their memberships.

* AMA Standard ($39) is the same as the previous "Full" membership. It does not require auto-renew and does not include free AMA Roadside Assistance. Dingman also unveiled two enhanced AMA membership levels.

* AMA Defender ($49) includes all of the benefits of an AMA Champion membership, plus it designates a $10 annual contribution to the advocacy efforts of the AMA Government Relations Department. AMA Defenders receive free AMA Roadside Assistance on all of their vehicles when they opt-in for autorenewal of their memberships.

* AMA Hall of Fame ($49) includes all of the benefits of an AMA Champion membership, plus it designates a $10 annual contribution to the AMA's Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. AMA Hall of Fame members receive free AMA Roadside Assistance on all of their vehicles when they opt-in for autorenewal of their memberships.

Details of the AMA's auto-renewal program and free AMA Roadside Assistance are available in a comprehensive four-page spread highlighting all of the AMA member benefits in the March issue of American Motorcyclist, and on the AMA website at www.AmericanMotorcyclist.com. Non-AMA members can easily join and redeem this tremendous offer, as well as take advantage of numerous other savings, by simply selecting Join/Renew in the Membership menu of the AMA website.

Great find. Thanks.

Nice deal.

I switched over to Champion last night. Bad ass.

Thank you Rogue :cheers:

I hope I never need it but a really good package for a great price. Besides riding , I tow my boat to Canada and back three times a year. Great piece of mind for only $39 :dthumb:

Thanks
Jeff

You're welcome. Until I got shitcanned, I was thinking about getting it with all the trips I had planned this year. I thought it would make a nice addition to the full coverage I have on the bike now....especially since you don't have to pay upfront and be reimbursed for some of the services. For $40 it would definitely be worth it! :dthumb:

If I can find a job quick enough that will allow me to still take my trips, I'll be getting it.

Not bad! I'm not renewing my AAA membership because those assholes wouldn't help me when I was on my bike! This costs about the same so I'm going to really look at it. Thanks sexy,I mean Rogue.

Orly? What happened with AAA?

You have to buy their premium package to get bikes covered....

I just checked out AAA prices. Basic is $48 a year, AAA Plus is $78 and AAA Plus RV is $118 which you need for cycle coverage .

Seems the choice is very clear

Exactly my thoughts! Since I no longer have AAA insurance,I'll just be buying a membership with the good ol' AMA. My ONLY reservation is wondering how good their service is and if they have the following that AAA does,as in every towing company in the country doesn't hesitate to go for AAA.:idk:

Well I just joined! It seemed like a great deal!

That is super shitty.

Hmmmm...? What is super shitty?

I think he was talking about AAA.... :idk:

Exactly...I forgot to quote.

Just got my $10 gift card to bikebandit.com. Anyone else make the first 25,000 or w/e it was to switch?

not a bad deal, but i got a buddy who works for a wrecker company(his dad owns it) so i'll probably stick with the "free" plan

Just signed up, thanks Rogue :cheers:

They're still giving away $10 gift cards to BikeBandit :dthumb:

Jeff

Rogue, thanks for posting this. :dthumb:

I already renewed my AMA membership for this year (helps w/insurance rates), but guess I need to switch over to the new package so I can get the coverage, too.

:rockout: Great value! I should have joined the AMA a long time ago anyway, but this sealed the deal & I just signed up. :D

Just signed up myself!

I've been with AAA for years but this looks interesting...I may be switching...thanks for the post.

You guys are very welcome! :)

Thank you - going to look into how it works for Hawaii. :yes:

I have had this for a while now. Works on your car or MC.
