Motorcycle Riding and Motorbike Insurance Discounts

April 12th, 2009 Posted in Insurance

Motorcycle riders often extol the virtues of riding their vehicles on the open roads, especially given the freedom and maneuverability that most motorbikes provide. Due to their small size and relatively lightweight frame, people who enjoy riding motorcycles can often enjoy a riding experience that other vehicles cannot provide.

Regardless of whether you operate a motorcycle, car, truck, or other vehicle, it is essential to establish adequate auto insurance coverage for your vehicle. General motorbike insurance policies help cover damage caused in a collision, protect in the event of theft or vandalism, and provide coverage for injury to yourself and others.

The Importance of Motorbike Insurance Policy

Before taking to the streets, roads, or highways, motorcycle riders should make sure that they are covered in the event of an accident. Motorcyclists often make sure that they establish protection against collision, theft, vandalism, and damage caused by uninsured or under-insured drivers. When it comes to motorcycle insurance coverage, it is important to make sure your vehicle is protected from theft, due to the relative ease of unlawfully taking such vehicles.

By protecting yourself against uninsured motorists, you can be sure that your vehicle will be repaired in the event of an accident. Persons who do not have adequate motorcycle insurance protection may find that they have to pay for collision repair out-of-pocket. Accidents with drivers who do not have enough bike insurance coverage by policy may be just as costly as ones with completely uninsured drivers. If a person does not have enough protection to pay for the damage he or she causes to your physical well-being or your property, you may be forced to pay for repairs on your own.

Motorcycle Insurance Companies and Discounts

Fortunately, many auto insurance companies offer discounts to motorcycle owners to help them with the costs of insuring their vehicle. Riders may be able to get discounts through motorcycle riders’ associations, or may be eligible for discounts following the completion of a drivers’ safety course. Common methods for lowing insurance payments include insuring multiple vehicles on the same automobile insurance policy, which usually results in lower overall cost to the policyholder.

It is important for motorcycle owners to purchase motorbike insurance coverage before they attempt to ride their vehicle.

    I have seen many people on here say that you are automatically covered when your parents have full coverage, including insurance agents. This is not true of all companies. Call your insurance carrier and ask. It is a lot easier than finding out after an accident that you are not covered.

    Some group policies at work do not care about preexisting conditions.
    Some do. It is usually the private ones, not work connected that
    up the rates. Probably something to do with—- if you can work, then
    you probably are not too sick, or disabled, so you can be insured.
    If it is a dependent child, would you need to take insurance for you
    as well as the child, and what is the waiting period.
    Work insurance takes a while to go into effect. You may have a rider
    or whatever it is called, that will exclude treatment, or make you wait
    so long to have insurance, or treatment for the preexisting condition.
    I don't know for sure, you could find out some how who the employer
    or potential employer uses and check it out on line or by calling the company.

    Do you want to start an insurance company or an insurance agency? There is a difference. I'm guessing you want to start an agency because if you had the millions of dollars needed to start an insurance company you'd have the knowledge already or at least the money to hire someone who knew.

    For an agency you'll need E & O insurance. Also, depending on your situation you'll need a business general liability and property coverage. You'll need business auto or at least a business classification on your auto insurance if you have vehicles. If you hire someone you'll need workman's comp and possibly health insurance, disability, etc. for the employees.

    I think you should go to the local building department (city or county) and apply for as built permits for these unpermitted structures. Although costly, it's better than Code Enforcement coming by, realizing that those additions/properties are unpermitted and going to court, seeking an injunction to have you (1) obtain as-built permits or (2) having them torn down.

    It is more expensive to have Code Enforcement come in and seek relief from the courts (assuming you don't comply and apply for as built permits) because you may have to pay their attorneys' fees when they win.

    I believe you apply for as built permits from the Building Department in the city. Make sure you're in the incorporated portion of the city, otherwise you'll have to go to the County Building Department.

    Also, if the bank didn't know that these additions were unpermitted, you wouldn't have an recourse. Most foreclosures are sold as is and requires buyer's diligence. A title insurance policy may or may not disclose unpermitted additions (depends on the wording of the policy). As I recall, a title insurance policy only guarantees that you have marketable title to the property.

    There's no average.

    You can't average no retro date and no tail, with 30 years of prior coverage.

    But if you don't "need" this type of insurance, don't buy it.

    No hospital will actually allow you to use their operating room without it, anywhere, in the USA, but hey, if you don't NEED it, hey.

    As to where it's cheaper – Not in the state of NY. Generally, the states which limit tort (republican states) are more friendly to doctors. But your professional association, or professional magazines, should be giving you a list of cheaper states. I believe there are at least 45 of them, LOL.
