How so? If you mean to get a tow, I'd be using CAA with the money saved, or calling a bike-specific service like @adri

If there is a crash, tow truck shows up. You may not be in a position to tell them to f off. Once your bike is on the hook, bill can be thousands in hours. The old trick of signing the ownership to settle the bill is over, they will send your bill to collections in a heartbeat. Storage clock is also ticking at hundreds per day so you don't have time to work out options.

I doubt insurance companies are paying that bill even if you do have the coverage, so how do they handle it? In any case I believe that is covered as long as you're not deemed to be at fault, or have a rider on the policy for emergency towing. Plus that's yet another good reason not to be at fault.

CAA tows it to their yard storage fees of their choice. tow out is private tow no fixed rate. They have to scam to make a living

How does that change when insurance pays for the tow and storage? Insurers are notoriously cheap for paying out on tow and car rentals.

1993 Katana 1100. 42k $975. Not running

Still available and price dropped to $950. A cheap way to get an 1100 motor for a GSXR 711 swap. No response, but I'm not leaving my phone number.

Insurers have power, precident and lawyers. They tell the tow company to F off, they are getting paid X or they will feel the weight of a huge company leaning on a tiny one. It's easier for everyone if tow company accepts.

CAA only covers breakdown services. Anything involving an accident, they will come out and bill your insurance. The tell you before dispatch.
