AggieDave 6 #26 July 20, 2004 QuoteI never liked Progressive, nor their pricing by mileage bands that start at 2600 miles. (I've gone as low as 3k, as high as 18) I noticed that since I ride my bike to school and work. To work (both jobs) I average 15miles one way between the two of them, to school I average about 5 miles each way. Thus, going to work every day (it works out that I work roughly 6-7 days a week) and school, I'm pounding on the milage. Hell, doing that I put nearly 60k on my truck last year!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,593 #27 July 20, 2004 My new Allstate agent suggested I keep my Progressive policy because he couldn't match it. Houston is an expensive market for any insurance. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

billo 0 #28 July 20, 2004 Dave, I only paid $52 a year with Progressive for liability only on my old 350cc when i was driving it. When they ask you how long you've been riding, lie your ass off! (to progressive or whomever you pick) Say you've been riding dirt bikes on a family farm since you were 12, and you will get a significant cut...they don't do background checks or anything Good luck! b Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was 18 and had a 650cc allstate was cheap ( at that time :) . Then I got a 1000cc BMW K1 (they classified it as a sport bike most of the time ) and paid like $1000/year for it. Then turned 21 and got another bike a K1200LT beemer. still with allstate and was paying 1200/year for both bikes. Plus with Ohio weather I laid the policy up for good half a year. Now at 24 I pay $272 and $242 for each bike respecitvely. That is rolling in the Experienced rider course, AMA membership, BMWMOA membership, my homeowners/business/life insurance with the same carrier. No accidents, so cannot judge the companies reliability One thing that always made sense - pretty much everybody gives AMA discount, I know progressive is pretty big on that as well as the Experienced rider course.

Same here. And State Farm was stupid-cheap compared to anyone else for me - they don't classify bike types, they go by engine size.
