    Just renewed my motorcycle insurance with Geico. 3 bikes, a 04 Harley trike, a 01 Heritage Springer classic and a new CVO Ultra. All three with 1,000 dedutable for 690.00 a year. Not bad, course it helps never having a claim either.:)

    Wife got rear ended by a guy with Safeco insurance, what a disaster that was. We had to fight and fight with them.
    Our insurance company took care of us and then went after Safeco. We would never insure with them if you paid us. Was the Worse insurance company I have ever delt with. 3 bikes for 690 a year and one being a new CVO is not bad to me.

    That does sound like a good deal FLHT. I have Harley Davidson Insurance, and am paying $200 apiece for my '07 Dyna and '08 StreetGlide. But I have kind of a bad driving record (3 speeding tickets). Although I've never had a claim, I don't feel this is too bad of a premium.

    I think we pay about $350.00 for 2 bikes from Progressive.
    $500.00 deductable.
    In the old days you could get it from Dairyland and get 3 months free by paying a year at a time in Colorado.

    Maybe now but back in the day the bike shops pushed them real hard, was one of the only places to get good resonable insurance,never had a car insuranced with them though.

    Here in New York and even New Jersey you can get protection and insure with Sopranos Insurance. They come around weekly and you hand an envelope with the money in it. They don't fix your bike but pity the poor bas_ard that runs into you! :fight:

    Do they give you a discount for carrying your own gun and "settling" right then and there?

    I have Allstate on my scooter and pickup. Scooter is $39 a month, but I have more than just liability - that includes $15,000 on the bike itself and covers me if I get in a wreck. I forget what the deductible is.
