Insurance?

randalseeler · 01-15-2008, 09:16 AM

My nephew is interested in getting serious with his dirtbiking and I'm looking for insurance for his Kawasaki. I got one recommendation for motorcycle insurance from UMU motorcycle, but their site didn't have a lot of information. Any suggestions/ reviews of UMU Motorcycle would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

geico or progressive.

personally insurance is going to get expensive. if he is new to riding, he will break little parts and if you have to use insurance to fix those, rates will go way up. it is going to cost you less in the long run to just purchase the parts and fix the bike yourself.

and if its stolen?

tigmaster · 01-15-2008, 11:39 AM

this is true, i forgot about that.

wr250f95 · 01-15-2008, 12:17 PM

did I just own the master :O

tigmaster · 01-15-2008, 01:38 PM

i guess that is why most people get insurance and yes, i got owned for not thinking fully before speaking.

You see I have never taken insurance out on a dirt bike. It is a good idea. I would go with one of the larger companies. Progressive sounds good they have been my auto insurance people for the longest time and I have never had a problem. Plus they are the only company that will sell me insurance due to a very sketchy past that I have. I love them over there

ya, maybe it is a good idea.

wr250f95 · 01-15-2008, 10:16 PM

it is, I mean if someone steals your bike it blows but if you have insurance, well it still sucks, just not as much.
