    Cool Insurance for Winter

    As posted on another thread, State Farm is the cheapest motorcycle insurance to be found. I had my 06 GSXR 1K dropped to comp only last winter (before I sold it ) and it was only about $5 a month. This wasn't to ride - just coverage against theft and vandalism. Anywho, call Miriam Lawson's State Farm office at 303-469-1729 for the best rates. It's a free quote. Even full-coverage during the summer is less than anyone else. So take that, Flo.

    I might have to look into this too. Flo and I are starting not to get along so well, here recently.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Re: Insurance for Winter

    I pay $22.50 a month for full 100/300 coverage with low deductibles. Farmers... but I was grandfathered in. They tell me I can swap out my one bike for any other bike and keep getting that rate(that includes an Aprilia V4R) but if I add a bike, the deal is toast.

    Re: Insurance for Winter

    I also dropped Flo, and went with State Farm. I am now paying the same amount for 2 bikes with State Farm as I was paying for 1 with Flo.

    I do want to point out that the State Farm agent told me they are no longer offering medical coverage for motorcyclists. I guess they used to and stopped doing so, whereas Progressive does. I assume that is why State Farm can keep their motorcycle rates lower.
    However, if you feel you have sufficient medical coverage on your own, State Farm would still be the way to go.

    I have State Farm as well (over 10 years now) and it's very inexpensive. I try to ride every month so I keep full coverage all year round.

    Re: Insurance for Winter

    ^^ My State Farm agent told me the reason for their motorcycle rates is because they feel that CO is not a year around riding state. They understand that most people won't ride all year and their rates reflect that.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Re: Insurance for Winter

    I didn't think anyone could beat my rates with Progressive until I shopped around. State Farm has the cheapest rates, point blank. My 06 1k was $18 for full coverage! Less than $5 a month for comp only if I parked it for a few months. Doesn't hurt to get a free quote to see how much money you could be saving... :-)

    Re: Insurance for Winter

    I just emailed her lol...Prgressive was raping me so I just told them to piss of back in the beginning of December and left the bike in a locked garage with nothing that could fall anywhere near it....been trying to find a better insurance company ever since...completely forgot about state farm as for some reason I always think them and farmers are the same company or more acurately randomly forget one of the two exists...in this case I forgot about State Farm and only checked Farmers...they wanted twice what progressive wanted...I have been meaning to get rid of Progressive ever since i found out their CEO is in cahoots with a economy killing fascist asshole anyway...I forget the guys name right now but it is the guy who claims to be the cause of the collapse of multiple countries economies and is proud of his ability to destroy a countries economy in his attempts to create a "one world currency"...maybe State Farm can give me better rates on all my vehicles.

    Edit for memory

    It was George Soros....that guy...

    Edit again for update

    Yeah with progressive I have full coverage on my car and liability only on my truck and it costs 161.33 a month....with state farm full coverage on both vehicles is 117.62......50ish bucks less a month for more coverage....cant wait to see how cheap my bike insurance will be when I talk to her...Downside is the agent they gave me when I did the online auto quote only speaks Spanish....Hello? My name is not even close to Hispanic, wtf would you give me an agent who doesn't speak English? htf am I supposed t talk to an agent who doesn't even speak my language?
