Having a capable recovery vehicle nearby is an advantage for sure, I've driven my former Jeep from Imperial Beach out to Oriflamme during a weekday to winch an extremely stuck 1200GSA on street tires out of the rocks, I'm sure a closer by recovery vehicle would have been pleasurable for the very warm rider(s) waiting. Closer by recovery vehicles also prevent waiting outside Dairy Queen in Anza for hours, for a 4x4 that can do Baileys cabin, to recover an XR's with toasted clutches also... so I hear... ... Along with the fact that if someone took the time to bring a recovery vehicle, it may also contain a more advanced first aid kit than what folks have strapped to their bikes etc.
