My longest trip was New Orleans. Watching “Easy Rider” years ago inspired me to do that trip and no, I didn’t drop any acid on the way.

Downside is no one to help if you need it. My kid bailed me out in Pennsylvania when I had a flat.
When you're in the USA, that membership card isn't worth the plastic they issue.if you don't mind really wimping out get yourself that gold tier CAA membership
I was in Colorado and my fuel pump died, my CAA card worked AAA sent a tow truck and was towed back to my hotel.When you're in the USA, that membership card isn't worth the plastic they issue.
AAA will "say" everything you need to hear.
But, three separate events have left 3 of us stranded. Tow trucks can't seem to find you, even with gps coordinates.

Eight miles north of Warren PA, on a main road close to a golf course, we waited roadside from 2:30pm until 10pm after I crashed.I was in Colorado and my fuel pump died, my CAA card worked AAA sent a tow truck and was towed back to my hotel.
Holy crap. That was the one and only time I used it. There was a delay and it was my fault. I war right at the mile marker on the I70 and thought I was in Colorado, but was in Utah, tow truck called me to ask where I was as he was looking at the mile marker (eastern Colorado). Said he can't make it I called AAA again, and guy showed up in 1/2 hour. I guess I was lucky. My incident was in August 2016Eight miles north of Warren PA, on a main road close to a golf course, we waited roadside from 2:30pm until 10pm after I crashed.
AAA said they'd haul my bike and my sorry ass to the duty free at the Peace Bridge, where CAA would transfer my bike and take me home.
None of that happened. Cops towed it, and I never saw it again.
$1400 later in a "one way" UHaul, I made it home. CAA reimbursed $600 (because gold card, otherwise $200 for basic).
Buddy broke down a couple miles outside Maryville TN. Called AAA and all goodness was arranged. Long story short.......multiple tow truck drivers couldn't find the church parking lot we waited in for 6 hours. Finally, a good Samaritan went home, hitched up his utility trailer, and took buddy's bike to Wheelers, for a fee.
He got a partial refund.
Another was waiting over 4 hours for a flat tire near Buffalo......no one from AAA showed.
Again, a good Samaritan helped me out.
No reimbursement.
Yet, after all this bs, I'm still a member, and don't know why.
