auto accident being used against my bike insurance
WTF?? I got into a fender-bender in May with my Jeep (since sold) and I was shopping around for insurance for both my bikes (09 Street Bob and 08 Busa). GEICO has me at 981 per year...everyone else wants in excess of $1300. I just don't get it. I live in FL so this is the insurance rip off capital of the free world. It just sucks to pay that much.

Why would you think that there would be a difference? If you get a DUI riding your bike I suppose it shouldn't couldn't count against your car insurance either, right?

Dont feel too bad. I got hit last year on my bike when I lived in FL. It wasnt my fault at all since I was sitting at a red light. When my car ins. came up for renewal they jacked my rates way up saying that I was prone to be in an accident since I was already in one. Even tho it wasnt my fault. WTF is that. I glad I moved back to Ohio, the weather might suck but my car ins. is dirt cheap!

I'm getting ready to buy my first bike in a few months, and I hadn't realized how high bike insurance was in FL. I live there, in North Florda as well. Guess the savings from gas savings gets sucked up by the inflated isurance prices? I've got a clean driving record, besides a speeding ticket in '98. I just hope this is all worth it in the end.
Forgot to mention, I'm getting ready to retire from the Navy, so Health Insurance isn't an issue for me when it comes to insurace for the bike.
