Congrats and welcome to GWOF.
There is more than one org. I already had AAA. When I went to add my new travel trailer to the policy, I found it would also cover a motorcycle. It added $32 / year to cost.
See what others here have before you decide. It may be you already have policy with them or you can compare. I have wondered if it varies state to state.
Good luck and hope you never need roadside assistance.

I am in NC. Maybe your insurance is different or maybe it varies by state and by state laws. The local news watch dog investigated this and it is the equivalent of a scam here. my vehicle insurance company automatically includes a tow policy for $1 / year. But if you use it, your whole policy gets jacked up 30 % for 3 years.
I pay approx. $110 year for AAA. I have used them a couple times over the last 4 or 5 years.
No increase in cost and always prompt and polite.
This will tow whatever or how many items 200 miles/day
truck
bike
trailer.
You will have to weigh it all out. For me, I am happy to pay the fee and get good service. And no surprises that hit my wallet later.

Attended a rally at Jacksonville Beach, FL some years ago, the prize for oldest rider went to a 90 year old Winger.

Welcome & Congrats on buying a new toy.
I ride without roadside assistance....just a credit card in case. Never had a problem yet. If it costs me $75 a year...... then I have already saved $1500 towards the next towing. Problem solved. (20 years of riding without a tow.)

Welcome aboard fg. AAA (AMA up here) is what most of us here use, just check to make sure that they cover any incurred damages if you ever need the service, lots of support crews don't know how to handle a bike properly, let alone a touring rig like a Wing.

Welcome from Vermont!
Passed the FL BRC today, but they tell me I can't get my endorsement until Wednesday. Supposed to pick up the wing Tuesday, so now it looks like Thursday. Well I've waited for decades, so I guess a few more days won't matter. Thanks for all the well wishes!
