blazinjr Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Last year my bill for full coverage was $410, then this bill comes and it is $155 for the year. Ok this is the first bike I ever owned, insured, and just got my permit when I bought the bike and got the insurance. Is it because I had no experience? If I would have known that I might have got another bike. Anyone else ever had this happen????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 The $155 is much more inline, especially if the bike is the 500 in your profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazinjr Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I still don't see why it would drop that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaewsky1 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Were you 30 at this time last year? Make sure full coverage is still on the policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I still don't see why it would drop that much. I understand; I'd ask them why the Hell it was so much last year.?.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Who is your provider? I would say they probably have dropped your medical coverage if you even had it before. Check your policy but my guess is NO PAY for any hospital visit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazinjr Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I turned 30 July 10th of last year. liability, comp, and collision all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 What about medical coverage? What are your payouts for the policy 50k/100k/50k or more? Or do you have the Ohio minimums which are like 10k/12.5/10k? Did you have a ticket come off? Something has changed. You don't just go from $400 to $150 without anything changing.....

Black ITR Guy Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 what company are you with? nation wide just re-evaluated all their motocycle policies and is a great company to go through now with bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 jesus... you should be happy thats ALL it was last year. I know 30yr olds that get quoted 4k a year for full coverage.. and they are married home owners too. Bike insurance is fucked up for different people it seems. I for one can not afford full coverage, Liability only for me @ $255 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazinjr Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Progressive ins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 dragknee66, Damn....who do you have? My BUSA is only $256 for full coverage (6-months), 50k/100k/50k and only $250 deducatable. USAA is the way to go unless you don't qualify then Sate Farm is probably the next best thing. Only problem is SF wants all your business to give you the discount on bikes. Blazinjr, I would check your policy. A while back someone posted on the BUSA boards that a lot of complanys have re-done there bike policy's and NO LONGER have medical coverage if you are injured riding a motorcycle. Make sure you read the fine print and check all policy coverages. They don't just drop your rate 50% without a reason, esp a company like Progressive....

blazinjr Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 If you have health insurance, why do you need it on your motorcycle insurance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Many reasons but the biggest is some Health insurance policy's don't cover it. They also don't cover passengers if you ever take a girl for a ride. Probably the biggest is if you are hit by an un-insured driver, sometimes it will cover the gap in the state or Health policy. It is all going to depend on your coverage of car/bike and Health. If you are military, it doesn't really matter but some people don't get those benefits or have that coverage.
