Insurance?

Tom;

I am in Olympia, WA. I was quoted $401.00 a year full coverage 100/300. I
am in the mid 40s, good driving record. Motorcycle will be a 2004 Honda
Shadow Spirit 1100. Insurance is State Farm.

Good luck

Hector

Dunno, I'm with Geico. It's cheap enough fo rme, I'm NOT in a hurry as they
haven't made any major rate hikes in ages for me.

Goto progressive.com and get a online quote. I am getting insurance from
them for $424 a year, full coverage with 250 deductible. This is on a honda
shadow 600.

Lie about your experience. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

Seriously though, exaggerate it.

I've got to disagree. If something happens, you don't want them having
any reason to deny a claim. I've always found honesty is the best
policy. I just got a quote (NM) from Progressive for $757 a year for
full coverage on an o4 Vulcan Classic 1500. I'm waiting on a quote from
Geico. I don't much like Progressive because of some stupid policies
they have. That price is for a 4 year rider with one major no fault
accident. Right now, I've got Dairyland on my wreck that I had paid $87
for a year of liability only.

I wasn't even asked about my experience. Went into my local progressive
office, said the online quote was $414, after a little more coverage it went
up to $424 a year all done in about 5 minutes no questions asked. I really
liked that. I've had my motorcycle license for about 13 years, ever since I
was about 18 so that may have popped up somewhere not sure and maybe that
was the reason for lack of questions.

Go to progressive.com and get quotes for a variety of bikes / years. It is
a tedious process (but better than Geico), you'll be amazed at the rates.
Rates go from a low $225 to $800 depending on bike year (2002-2004). Same
bike different year (older) will be30% less than newer year.

Follow up with call to 800 number to verify. They will even know you went
on-line and always matched the on-line quote.

YMMV,

Geico told me they wouldn't insure a person who hasn't had more than 3 years
riding experience. Actually sent me a thanks but no thanks letter in the
mail.

To the OP, I've been insurance shopping as well. I've been getting quotes
on a 2004 Gixxer 750. Prices rage from $1400 to $7000. I have a clean
driving record but live in Los Angeles.

Just got an e-mailed quote from Farmers 04 Gixxer 750 $2074, Kawasaki ZX10R
$4271 for the year if I insure the bike only. If I move my car over the
rates drop to $524 for the Gixxer and $756 for the liter bikes. Rates adjust
for the CC's. I wonder how much auto is through them?

Nah, technically it would be extortion, not blackmail. Fuck 'em and
insure through Dairyland. I was very pleased with their service when I
got killed near Atlanta in 9-2000.

I wouldn't deal with GEEKO for any reason after the shit they gave me.
As I was moving to SC from GA where I had Dairyland, and Dairyland was
too much in SC, I made the mistake of calling GEEKO. The CUNTry music
fan that I talked to (odd, you don't see many black country music fans)
told me they would not issue anything but liability on a "high
performance sport-bike like my SV650 standard." I asked what they would
issue comp and collision on. GS500, EX500, CB250, etc. She knew that I
was an older homeowner, 30 years experience, zero tickets AND that I was
an MSF instructor. She literally did everything she could to get me to
go elsewhere. I politely told her that I take matters such as this very
seriously and I tend to involve myself in different levels of righting
this type of wrongs. I asked for the name of the company president, her
boss and the mailing address. Her tone changed dramatically, you
would have thought someone else took over the call. Anyway, I wrote a
very polite but thorough letter and <surprise> never heard a word back
from any of the pricks. And they still advertise in SC moto rags.

Progressive may be the cheapest, in some states, but will give that
biggest hassle with a claim, should you have one.
Make sure you have medical coverage. Don't be too sure you're covered by
any other 'health' insurance. They may Not in case of a M/C injury.
One more reason to stay 'way from Regressive.
