American Motorcyclist Association announces expansion of free AMA Roadside Assistance program Three-year membership requires no automatic renewal PICKERINGTON, Ohio — Members of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) have a new way to qualify for free roadside assistance for their motorcycles, cars, trucks, motorhomes and trailers. Effective immediately, all members who purchase a new three-year AMA membership will be enrolled in AMA Roadside Assistance at no additional cost. Unchanged is the $39 annual fee that AMA members currently pay to belong to the world’s largest member-based motorcyclists’ rights organization. New three-year members are not required to annually auto-renew to receive free AMA Roadside Assistance. “Whether members participate in our auto-renewal program, or if they sign up for a three-year membership, the result is the same: cost savings for the AMA,” said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. “As a member-supported organization, we are happy to pass those savings back to our members in the form of one of the most significant member benefits we’ve offered in our 85-year history: free AMA Roadside Assistance.” This expanded benefit follows the AMA’s introduction in February of free AMA Roadside Assistance for all members who enroll in the AMA’s auto-renewal program. Whether riding on two wheels, driving on four, or hauling a trailer, AMA members can take the road less traveled with peace of mind, thanks to AMA Roadside Assistance, Benefits include coverage for bikes, cars, pickups, motorhomes and trailers registered to the member, the member’s spouse and dependent children under the age of 24, living at home or away at college; towing up to 35 miles; flat-tire assistance; coverage in all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada; emergency fuel delivery; up to five dispatched service calls per year; and toll-free assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from two national call centers. In addition, all dispatch and hook-up fees are included, and AMA Roadside Assistance does not require members to seek reimbursement. The program pays first. AMA Roadside Assistance is just one of more than two dozen benefits that members receive when they join the AMA. Discounts are provided from companies such as Garmin, BikeBandit.com, EagleRider Motorcycle Rentals, XENA Security, Ezy-Lift, RoadLok, Char-Broil, MAD Maps and many more. In addition, members support the world’s leading motorcyclists’ rights advocacy organization, receive the monthly journal of the AMA, American Motorcyclist, and are eligible to sign up for participation in AMA Racing amateur competition.
