Volume 2 - roadside assistance updated 07.02.2026

Every rider thinks they’re covered—until the day they’re sitting on the side of the road with a motorcycle that isn’t going anywhere. Before that happens, there are questions every rider should ask. Who is actually coming to tow your motorcycle? Where will they take it? What happens if you’re hundreds of miles from home? Does your plan help with hotels, meals, transportation, or a rental car? And most importantly—is your roadside assistance actually built for motorcyclists? Not every roadside program provides the same protection. Coverage may include towing, flat-tire assistance, jump starts, fuel delivery, lockout service, winching, trip interruption, or passenger assistance. Some programs follow the rider, while others follow a specific motorcycle. Even the tow itself matters. Proper motorcycle transport means the right equipment, secure tie-downs, and a provider who understands how to safely transport your bike. The time to discover these differences isn’t when you’re stranded on the highway. The BikerDown Motorcycle Roadside Assistance Buyer’s Guide was created to help riders understand their options, compare coverage, and ask better questions before they ride. Educate yourself. Protect yourself. Be prepared. BikerDown Foundation. If you go down, we step up.
