    I have progressive for my bike and haven't had any problems at all. They are very helpful on the phone and gave me base insurance for under $100 a year. No one else could even come close...

    You all should give GEICO.com a try. The online quote application is the best around. I am a little biased though as I am on the team that built it and am now one of the primary devs handling updates and maintenance.

    Even with your VIN GEICO will list your bike as a Maxim if you have a Seca. Mine comes out to 130 a year as a new rider that hasnt taken the safety course yet.

    You guys are all still lucky -- I'm in Ontario, the bend-over-and-grease-up province. Just for the bare minimum insurance to ride, it's $350 a year -- no extras.
    And for reference, I'm 40, married, kids, 15+ years experience, no claims, rider training (x2), and have been a motorcycle Rider Safety instructor.

    Somehow i think even acknowledging the thought of doing such a thing would be frowned on by mgmt.

    Just called TD Home and auto insurance and they quoted $ 200 less than my present one Jevco did.
    I guess I'll be changing :D

    Of course. Only a joke. Wouldn't even think of actually doing it.

    Checked progressive yesterday. $95/year. That is almost 1/4 what Geico wants...

    And I used GEICO.com! It is pretty cool, but it would be nice if I didn't have to have a login for auto and a different login for motorcycles.

    I just picked up full insurance (liability and comp) w/ 100$ deductible (mainly in case someone steals bike or just completely wrecks it), for 96$ a year through my allstate agent

    Yeah it sucks. But that isn't the only reason you get high insurance rates.

    I paid out the A$$ for car insurance.

    I was on my parents policy from 16-18. I then got married. Was on my husband's policy. Divorced and lived with the parents again so on their policy again (moving back home at 24 sucks really bad lol) I remarried at 25 was on the second husband's policy.

    5 years later I found myself divorced, low paying job, with No credit and considered a high risk driver because I'd never had a policy in my own name, only a named driver. I also lived in the part of West Virginia that cars were more to insure because of the pay outs on other people's insurance. (see before about the money hungry sue happy ppl in WV)

    It wasn't until the past year or so I was finally able to get decent insurance rates because I built up my credit, and had a policy with no lapses for over a year.

    And another lesson for you younger folks. Don't f*ck up your credit! You'll pay for it for a very very long time.
