Exclamation Towing / Roadside assistance

Hey everyone! First post of 2006! Happy new year to you all.

Had a great holiday, then a flat tire on the way home. I read the car manual, as this was my first flat tire change, which led me to thinking:

Does the AA / Insurance company you use do a tow-in, roadside assitance service for motorcycles? Here in R.S.A., the Automobile Association does not deal with bikes, and most insurance companies, although they do provide insurance, do not provide roadside assistance.

What would one do in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone signal to call, and a flat tire on a bike, besides start crying??
