Check policies with motorcycle breakdown. Most of the free ones attched to bike insurance have a £300 limit to each call out when you breakdown. £300 does not get you very far.
Last year I got a puncture on a saturday evening on the A303 near Popham. I called out the "Ebike" free breakdown cover.
45 minutes later the van from SOS Motorcycle Recovery turned up. My £300 cover will take you about 120 miles total before you have to start paying. Actually I should say - it will take you just 60 miles as they measure the distance from the point of breakdown to home and back to breakdown point.

Chatting to the breakdown guy and he said Some insurance free breakdown cover will only take you 10 miles to a garage. Read that small print on your policies. Even the AA has a cover on a call out to a bike.
I was stuck, 50 miles from home, in the rain and all alone - its that moment you realise you need cover
