Note about triple A & motorcycles:
AAA is divided up at various regions, and perhaps these divisions are a result of AAA evolving from the former state "motor clubs."
(If you know what a state motor club is... you're probably an old fart. ;-))
There are no nation wide AAA rules and services for motorcycles. Some triple As will cover motorcycles, and some will not. For instance, CT AAA will not, no how, no way, offer motorcycle coverage of any sort. Why do I relate this picayune tale of woe? So folks won't assume their auto AAA roadside coverage would automatically extend to their motorcycle(s).
As far as carrying tools goes...
Would you believe that if you break down along I 87 in your one stack Mack with a flatbed on the back, an old rubber glove and a ball peen hammer can make for a right dandy thermostat gasket making kit? Back up and at 'em in an hour & thankful to find clean water nearby. Guess by now it's evident that I despise waiting along the road for many hours for someone to bring me a screwdriver or 9/16 wrench. Been there, got the hiney stains on my thumb to prove it.
