Has anyone ever used the AAA towing service with their bike? Do they throw it up on a flatbed and only take you 7 miles before the meter starts ticking?

If you are getting 40K miles out of your automobile tire on your motorcycle, that would make me wonder just how much your neglecting your flange bearings/o-rings/splines/brake services/etc.Hmm. Back at 135k I pulled two nails out of my rear Darkside tire.
Both were deflected by the steel belts and did not go through.
So - NO flats in the past 900k plus miles of riding or driving.
I get about 40k miles out of double dark tires.
So I could go a very long road trip and not worry...
The last time I had a flat was on a 10 speed bicycle back in the 70's....
I do carry a AAA card just in case though!
I did have a battery die on me once and AAA transported the bike on a flat bed two miles to a shop where it got replaced.
Especially the spare ammo... You'd be shocked on how much you can sell your spare ammo for...it's better than cash!And of course, your wallet, ID, Cell phone, Medical information, $, and spare magazines/ammo
I do ride mostly freeways, so the brakes do not get used as much.
These two statements seem to be contradictory, and would seem to indicate that the rotor was not replaced as a result of normal wear.I replaced the rear rotor at 130k.
How many times in your 130,000 miles have you changed your flange bearings, and inner O-ring that is underneath the flange plate?Yes I made the mistake of putting on non Honda brake pads that chewed up the rotor.....
Better stopping power at a price........
Its a honda ronda! U dont need no stinkin tools!No tools needed, It is not a Harley. Just go ride and enjoy the trip.....
This is my FJR, but everything fits under the seat...
The only thing I add is a head-strap flashlight and a business card on top of everything. Just in case I get separated from the bike... they know who to send the parts to.
After you assemble your perfect kit.... take a picture!!! You can't believe how many times I've looked at this.
