Thanks for the info, Dave! A memory popped up on my FB account that I brought the bike home 3 years ago today, so I got on the phone and Al hooked me up for 5 years. Roadside assistance wasn't included in the $595, but I added it for $50.

Basically; what's included in roadside assistance?
EDIT:...Just went to Honda's website and found this...
Roadside Assistance is available from your authorized Honda Powersports Dealer. You can purchase up to 60 months on your Honda on-road motorcycle and scooter. Roadside assistance provides the following:
- Towing to nearest Honda dealer regardless of mileage
- Towing to any Honda dealer or your home within 30 miles of breakdown
- Coverage in United States, Canada & Mexico
- Locksmith & Extrication assistance
- Fluid delivery (up to 2 gallons)
- Coverage for a total of 4 service incidents per year
- Over 45,000 service providers
I think if you buy it and never have to use it. It was a great bargin. Think about it you ride 8 full years and never have a problem with the bike. I think that worth the call to Al at Max's Cycle and the $595. I have a F6B and a full wing. I bought extended on them.
I finally got around to calling Al Miller and purchased the 5 year extended warranty and roadside assistance for $645.
I've rarely needed roadside assistance or towing, but from those who have I've heard one big complaint: when you call for assistance with a prepaid plan, you often wait hours for help to arrive. One Valkyrie rider I talked with said he called for help in the afternoon, but nobody showed up until 9 PM.
From what I've heard these plans award contracts to just a few towing companies in an area, possibly the lowest bidders. So when you call you might end up waiting for help to arrive from miles away. If I ever break down I'd rather pay more and have someone arrive quickly. A phone app that identifies nearby services and response times would be useful.
