• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Curious on who Virginia Spyder Owners have for insurance company

I have had Allstate for the past 5 years on my 2 other spyders. But since getting my 2013 Spyder ST the rates are absolutely ridiculous and looking for a better insurance company that really rates the spyder correctly.

Just curious who you are using, what type of coverage and how much you pay.....

You can reply here, send me a PM or email me at [email protected]

Thanks,

Shawn
 
Spyder-Dude, I don't know if it's available in your area, but you might want to try Foremost.
We're newbies, and they beat the next closest competitor by almost $300/yr.

Good luck,
 
Had GEICO car insurance when I bought the Spyder in 2011. Added the Spyder to my policy, it cost me $1000 (!) to insure it up here in NoVa. First insured bike, bought on a loan (i.e. needed comprehensive coverage, plus I max out a lot of medical), urban area, etc. I shopped both GEICO and Progressive and they were both identical in price.

In 2012 I compared GEICO and Progressive again. GEICO went down to ~$875, Progressive was $600. Switched to Progressive.

Next year I'll shop around again, but I prefer to do it online, so my comparison options may be limited (Allstate and State Farm make you call a human being for motorcycle coverage, I don't have time for such 20th century silliness :joke:).
 
Just bought my RT last month and went with Riders insurance co @456.00 full coverage. Check them out at riders.com for online quote.:clap:

Sorry, should have posted URL http://www.rider.com/ fairly new insurance company and only currently available in a handfull of states along the east coast

Can you post a better link? I typed in Riders.com and got a hobby shop.

Never mind, no coverage in California.

Shawn check out www.rider.com. I pay $378 a year for my 2013 RT Limited. Reggie
 
Looks like Rider is your best bet. I had USAA on both my Harley's before i traded/sold them. USAA stopped insuring MC in VA, why I don't know. USAA has partnered with Progressive who wanted over $800 to insure my 12RT Ltd. Went with GEICO...first year cost was $644; second year premium dropped to $470 so I renewed with them. If GEICO keeps dropping the premium I'll most likely keep renewing.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I ended up getting my local agent Old Dominion Insurance Agency, Inc who has been in business for over 25 years to get me better insurance that I previously had for more than 1/2 of the previous rate with Allstate on my new 2013 STS.

They got me $500k coverage instead of the $100k. Also includes extra medical coverage and the yearly policy is $260.......compared to Allstate that was almost $700.

If you are in Virginia and want to get a quote from them contact Joel or Rebecca at Old Dominion Insurance Agency, Inc at 540-248-4000. [email protected] or [email protected]

Tell them that Shawn Scott referred you.

Sincerely,

Shawn Scott

Progressive

Hate to post this after reading all your posts, but i got Progressive, only my spyder and it $12.00mo, live in NC, work in VA.:yikes:
 
I would love to see the details of your coverage. Lowest price isnt always the best as a lot of states have VERY low minimum requirements that are just not enough. Please list your coverages included or send me a PM with it and I will help you compare properly.

Where you "garage" your Spyder has a lot to do with how much you pay for insurance. That's not only true from state to state but within a state as well. Like I posted earlier, Progressive wanted over $800 for basically the same coverage I got from GEICO for almost a couple hundred less.
