Because I had a few (luckily) minor bike issues at the Soiree and have had occasional intermittent electrical issues (finally found and fixed) I've been turning my thoughts to what to do when something goes wrong.
The flat I had on Fogo island could have been very serious as there just isn't anything out there.
Without a lot of research I've invested in a CAA membership which was very reliable when I had my first (unreliable) motorcycle back in the day. They got me out of a few jams in Ontario.
The coverage I got was the Premier level which is 20 bucks more than the Plus level which is the minimum needed for motorcycle flatbed towing. What I get for this is pretty good so I thought I would share the main features:
This all sounds good but I do have to call them to confirm if all of these items work for motorcycle touring. It should but who knows until I confirm everything. Still worth it for the flatbed towing service in my mind though.
There is a bunch of other stuff also but not really of interest to me. Bottom line is I feel a lot more secure now when travelling on the island.
I understand the service is not going to be as good as it is in Ontario. How is their service in Newfoundland? Please share your experience so that we can all benefit and consider the option carefully.
