Motorcycle Insurance
I could not find a thread about motorcycle insurance so I thought I would send this out. My insurance is due in 1 month I have been insured by Jevco. So far the lowest price is from Riders Plus. Could you give me some sort of idea of who you are with that may beat the price of under $1000.00 per year.
Thanks

I pay $20.35 a month for my 2002 KW Meanstreak. My husband pays $20.60 for his 2003 Honda VTX 1800 (go figure). With bikes this old, it's hard to justify carrying collision, but we still carry it. It would be bad enough to wreck my bike and if I had to replace it completely with my own funds, that would be devastating. We're with American Family. We were previously with State Farm. State Farm had higher rates but would allow you to drop the coverage in the winter (when you weren't riding the bikes). You could "call in" and add a daily rider for any days that you wanted to ride the bike. But, here in CO, we have lots of good riding days throughout the year - so it wasn't really worth the trouble.

I know as many as 1 in 3 drivers in AZ is driving without insurance. I wouldn't go without it myself.

What does that mean, you should pay extra to cover those who don't have insurance and make sure the company is not out of pocket???

My son was signing up for car insurance and told me he was getting the state minimum. I told him if he knocked my bike over, that may not be enough to fix it and he'd get sued for the rest. He increased his coverage.

CJ , Things are done differently in Quebec. The government runs a portion of auto insurance. Everybody who has a valid drivers license and up to date vehicle license plates has the medical part of auto insurance automatically. It's built into the cost of plates, so in the case of an accident your medical Bills are covered. Get caught driving with invalid plates or drivers license and you car is impounded till you pay up.You are also required to have insurance from private insurance carriers for fire, theft and public liability. Your proof must be shown when you buy your vehicle, get caught without proof in the vehicle and you get a ticket, plus a letter from the Government asking for proof of insurance within x amount of days or your plates are suspended.
Also we have what is called no fault insurance. If you have an accident between vehicles your insurance pays for your damages to your vehicle and the other drivers insurance pays for his. Fault is still determined but only for the insurance companys to decide the cost of your premiums or in the case of death where criminal charges might be layed. You can not sue anybody in Quebec over a automobile accident. It's not perfect, but it does turn the tables a bit, drive uninsured and your the one who gets screwed, not the guy you hit.

It is not so easy to get away with not paying at least the medical portion as that is tided to your license plate renewal. There is apparently a device that automatically scans plates and feeds them into a central registry as police cars cruise around with no interaction needed by the officers unless it gets a hit (not paid or stolen). I saw the news last year that they were installing some around here. Exactly how many police cars are now equipped this way, I have no idea.

I ended up declining the un-/under-insured motorist coverage. The sales rep (hate to call them "agents" when it's someone on a phone) said, if I have medical insurance (from work) and comp/collision, it would all be taken care of anyway (minus my deductable, of course). Seems like I would basically be paying double (once through Progressive and again through work). I've been with Progressive for years but I think I may take a look at other insurance companies this summer.
