searched the threads, but didn't see anything on my specific question.

If I have to tow my Buddy back to the dealer for some warranty repairs... and its blistering cold and the roads aren't ridable (at least for my skill level), will Roadside covering having the bike brought back to my house?

Thanks...

I have no idea but I would assume if the bike is ride-able, roadside assistance would not cover a tow home. Roadside is an insurance policy provided by Genuine for emergency assistance. Looking at this objectively, how is getting a bike home from the dealership an emergency?

That said, many moto dealers will provide pickup and delivery service that's either "free" or rolled into your repair bill. It's certainly worth talking to your dealer about both options. I'd much rather have my bike stored safely at home than at the dealership. Also, many dealerships will charge a daily storage fee for bikes not picked up promptly after servicing. Make sure you ask about that before leaving your bike with any dealer for any length of time.
