The Wind

Well I just started riding this year (I'm 23) and currently have the '05 Suzuki GS500 in that is by my screen name.

That is awesome, it reminds me of the live action Portal short film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4drucg1A6Xk).

Welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Haha I will try my best with everyone if they would like a quote.

Haha that is funny, I am trashypatches on there - same problem someone had taken "The wind".

Nope I do not represent Nationwide, so no hard feelings there.

From what I can gather the trucks hit a low spot in the pavement, which then water entered into the snorkel and stopped the trucks in their tracks. I was reading somewhere that the snorkel on that model of troop transport is extend-able to over top of the cab. Someone forgot to extend it before going swimming...oops

That would be a question to ask the agent as well. They (the company or agent) may respond back with there is no rate for a PC 10 and it is not something we are looking to insure at this current moment. Or they might have a rate developed and it is so outrageous that it would not be financially viable to stay with his current insurer. They're companies out there that will write a home in a PC10. For sure the Ohio FAIR (Fair Access to Insurance Requirements) plan will. I would just start calling around to independent agents and get some quotes.

It sounds like your current company ran a protection class search on your home. Basically if you live more than 5 road miles away from a responding fire department / station and a certain distance way from a fire hydrant you fall into various property protection classes. These protection classes look like 4/9 for example. If you are 5 road miles or less from a responding fire department / station and have a fire hydrant within 1000 feet you will be in a protection class 4. If you are 5 road miles a way from a responding fire department / station and have a fire hydrant more than 1000 feet away you will be classified in a protection class 9 and finally to add to you confusion if your property does not qualify for either of the above scenarios a protection class 10 applies. These protection classes are what insurance companies use to rate your property, the lower the protection class the lower your rate will be (usually, but other underwriting criteria come into play as well) and easier it is to insure your home and vice versa. If the agent did not research where your home is located in a protection class the company will. I would talk to your agent and see what exactly went on but from what you are describing it sounds like the company did a search on your property protection class.

Casper, you wouldn't be a redditor by chance? Its funny I saw that as a topic on /r/motorcycles and then came here and saw your post too. Small world! haha

Hey everyone, thought I would take the time to introduce myself and give a little background on me and my motorcycling career. My name is Drew, I work with my Dad in our insurance agency here in Marysville as an agent. I have always been a huge gearhead and this year decided to go ahead and get my endorsement. Before that I had never been on a motorcycle in my life, so in January I picked up a '05 GS500 with around 970 miles on it for reasonable price and have been riding the wheels off of it ever since. I absolutely love it and now wish I had went after my endorsement a lot sooner. Any ways I hope I can meet a bunch of you guys soon since none of my friends have a motorcycle and I have been looking for some riding buddies. Thanks!
