- June 23, 2014, 14:08:57 PMRates vary by locale... State, County etc. My wife and I worked in the commercial insurance business (me=Safety, her= Big Shot)... I offer a few pieces of advice for what they are worth.
1. ALWAYS buy your insurance through an INDEPENDENT AGENT!! There are two kinds of agents in the world... Captives=work for one company, and Independent=works for you. Independents have multiple companies and will do your shopping for you. We ALWAYS use independent agents.I had Progressive at one point and decided to move, even if it cost me more money. We told our agent and he found a policy with better coverage, much cheaper. And, from a company I never would have thought to check.
2. Ensure you compare apples to apples. It does matter what the coverages are. We always bump up the deductible and the limits - it usually ends up costing the same as lower deductibles and limits. When you compare policies make sure your coverages are the same.
3. Ensure you understand about cash value, accessories coverage etc.

- June 23, 2014, 13:12:31 PMYeah, the rates vary all over the map. Progressive wanted almost $400 for the Drifter, and 2 something for the W...I'm pretty happy with this. I know people who pay twice that much for basic liability and for only 6 months...

- June 23, 2014, 12:06:28 PMMy bill for Progressive Insurance for USSA members with all the good stuff you listed was $80.00 for the year.
This was on a 2000 Drifter, and included $5000.00 for aftermarket accessories.

- June 22, 2014, 12:00:21 PMI insured my trike for 5 months, bare bones policy, plate, and 2 million liability, was over $500.00. Plus my collision, vandalism, fire, theft, etc, through a company called "Beacon" Beacon is a private policy, in B.C. all road insurance, plate, registration fee, etc HAS to be a government policy. Beacon, for 12 months for both bikes, is about $800.00 or so. It covers the bikes for on the road, storage, etc. Joke up here is, B.C. stands for:
"Bring Cash!" lol I have a clean driving record, so get the cheapest rate, my truck (Toyota Tundra) is almost $2000.00/year. Need an extra job just to pay for insurance. Phooey. Thanks, Troll, you just ruined my day.....
