Shit happens.
Was on my way to daughter's house to celebrate youngest grandson's
first birthday. Took the Moto Guzzi. Got about 20 miles down I-95 and started hearing and feeling strange noises and vibrations. Pulled to the side of the road, the high speed side 'cause that's where I was. My rear end locked just as I was coming to a stop. Nothing bad happened, and the bike didn't go down. I called AAA, after a nice guy stopped and let me use his cell phone. I own a cell phone, but I use it mainly for emergencies. Therefore, it stays in my Toyota, where I'll surely be if an emergency occurs. The Toyota is almost a year and a half old, so it is much more likely to give me problems than my 20 year-old motorcycle. Right? Anyway, I called AAA and got a very nice young lady who very nicely informed me my AAA didn't cover my motorcycle. The *only* reason I've got AAA is because of the motorcycle. The new Toyotas are covered by the Toyota waranties. At least the young lady was nice enough to call a tow truck. So, after a $200 tow, I'm home. I think I blew the u-joint, but haven't taken it apart yet. I'll do so this week. I'm supposed to go for a ride with brothers thru VT, NH, and Maine in September. Gotta have the damn bike running by then. -- John H |

You might remember my travails last year in dealing with the NCHP and their idiotic enforcement of boat towing laws. Boaters hopped on their elected representatives with both feet and got the law overturned... only to be vetoed by Easley... then our idiotic governor. Legislators returned en masse from the National Democratic Convention to override the veto, but AAA sided with the governor and tried to frighten motorists with scare stories about huge deadly boat trailers flying up and down the roads. At that point, I told AAA to stick it where the sun don't shine only to realized] that the American Motorcyclist Association covered both the motorcycle and my other vehicles. Try these folks: http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/roadride/motow.asp Just so we'll stay on topic, I keep these folks around, too: http://www.boatus.com/ Thanks for that link. I've been an AMA member for a long time, but never realized they had insurance like that. I guess I never paid attention because I had AAA. AAA will soon be gone. -- John H |
