Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
I agree and I am talking about Motorcycle insurance here not car!! ... im 20 years old insurance isnt cheap i have my indorsment but if i have a stunter and i can pay 50$ for the card just to have it if i get pulled over and there no way for them to look it up and see if its expired or not i want to do that.... really liability covers me hitting another car.... thats it...
You're 20 years old, so liability alone should run what, $200-$400 a year?
If you can't afford that, how do you plan on paying to fix someones car if you hit them?

Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
think about it this way. i can save 220 a year by not buying insurance. now if i hit a car and cause 1000 in damage, that was nearly 5 years worth of insurance that i could have paid and not worried about it. next they are going to fine me on top of that, and that will be a pretty hefty fine.
riding with no insurance is like using the pull out method with sex. its all great until an accident happens and she gets pregnant. then you will wish you had it.

+1..21 with 1 speeding ticket on record. i pay 219 a year for liability. i will happily bay that, because I know if i hit a car or something, it will easily cause a thousand or 2 grand in damage. stop being a cheap *** and just get the insurance.

and i just keyed in a 2003 r1 for insurance on progressive and it came up with 241 bucks. now that doesnt take into account any violations that you have had. If your record is clean, i STRONGLY suggest you go to a different company
it all depends on how many violations you have had and the severity of them. location also plays a small part in it too

Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
again, get in a wreck and they find out it isnt legit and all that money you just save got more than pissed away.

Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
hit up progressive.com I just keyed in what info you gave me and it tossed back a rate of 198 a year for liability. thats also saying you have no years riding experience, your bday was yesterday, you didnt take the msf course, and you live in an apartment/parents house/not your own house.

You might injure or kill the person you hit are you gonna be able to pay $350,000 to the person you injure. A car pulled out in front of me on the highway i had a passenger on the back with me I shattered my right forearm, broke my color bone and had to spend a week in the hospital and had over 100 staples and 40 stiches was out of work for 6 months lost feeling in my right arm and left chest lost range of motion in my right wrist. The girl broke her shoulder, her collar bone and had a collapsed lung my medical bills were over 270,000 dollars. Would you want to try and pay that out of your pocket for the rest of your life when the person sues you because you didnt have insurance? Or would you rather have the insurance company get sued to recover loss of wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, etc? Insurance protects your *** big time in the event of an accident where someone gets severely injured.

Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
at 23, 3 points, liability on my 05 gsxr 750 i pay $175 a year. my car n truck are $73 both per month. i remember E-Rack when he got hit n the guy he registered his 929 under for insurance didnt get it. lawyer got med bills wrote off, lawyer at his dads work said hed be lookin at $1.5 mil cus of how bad it was, u guys may remember he was claimin some off the wall stuff his head got rattled, but wen the ink dried he got the limits of the other guys insurance, $50k, bout $30k after lawyer fees. a better lawyer may have been able to do better for him but he had the issue that his insurance wasnt right, hes messed up for life n not much to show for it. yeah, get insurance, even if its one of those small companies, u can be a great rider n never cause n accident, but E-Rack got ran down from behind by a truck in a huge group. n u cant avoid what you dont know is comin, but insurance can make sure ur not screwed for ur outcome of it.</p>

Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
Idk how I was gettin 800 everywher els but I found a place to give mee 280 a year so I took it even tho I don't agree with all these insurance laws and considering I can only ride. For 6 months in ohio so its like payin over 500 a year but whatever law blows should be cheaper

Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
It's way cheaper than that. I have had a bike since I was 15 and never paid more than $150 a year for liability, even with a fucked up driving record. Progressive has always been the cheapest for me when all I need is cheap liability coverage.

Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
If i insure one again i will check with them again. I know i did not get the cheapest one maybe thats what fucked me over... But i had no clue what i was doing and was told to get the a certain one...

Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
State farm wanted $1500 a year from me for liability at 17 years old with one wreck on my record
Geico wanted $1100 a year
Progressive said my record was too bad to even insure me?! All I had was one not at fault accident, and a no insurance no registration ticket on my record..
I went to some local power sports insurance place, $340 first year $240 second year, I had never been insured before this
All the big places were OUTRAGEOUS when I got a quote, so I don't even bother calling them anymore. I just go to the small power sports place and get cheap insurance

Re: general insurance question!!!! HELP??
if you keep all that money in a savings account over the years instead of giving it to an insurance company you would theoretically be better off because you could deal with the person you hit and deal with the body shop directly and not have to worry about the insurance company trying to stick it to you and deny your claim or raise your insurance afterwards, and if you never hit anybody, then you would have those thousands of dollars for yourself to keep. mandating someone to buy something just because there is a possiblity they will need it doesnt seem very just to me, plus they ticket you heavily for not buying it, which is like extortion and its wrong. its set up as a vicious cycle to where its precisely calculated the cost of having insurance vs. getting caught and paying the ticket, so this keeps insurance companies and the cops, and the state all in a constant cash flow and i would have to think this goes against everything our founding fathers of this country intended. i have been driving/riding since 16 and i'm 26 now, so at an average cost of $1,000 dollars a year i couldve saved 10 grand. someone who finances cars and pays full coverage on them thats my age couldve saved 20, maybe 30 thousand dollars. and if you should happen to hit somebody theres no way it costs that much to fix their car. and people shouldnt be able to cry "ouch my neck" and try to screw you, the cops and ambulance should slap them in the face.
