Welcome to all the new SpyderLovers

[SpyderWolf]

Lamonster, thank you for your time, energy, passion & expertise not only with the Spyders but also this AWSOME site.

Don't mean to leave anyone out, so Thank You ALL!!!

Quick question for everyone?

I'm a new (Frustrated) RTS owner. Bikes being held hostage at the dealer due to the SE5 Recall, & I just took it in for the 600 mile Break-In check, and also having issues with the tranny. I'm Frustrated cause I'm NOT out rydyng like I SO WANT TO BE :spyder:

Anyways, heres my question.
I'm a 39yo divorced male, just got my motorcycle Permit, taking the training course this weekend, nothing on my driving record, great credit rating, and I Live in KY which is a no-fault state. I've called many INSURANCE Companies, and have found that most wont even cover KY The companies that do, are all quoting me around $1100 a year for Motorcycle Insurance, My car for full Cvg was only $430/year.

I settled with progressive at $1075/yr :spyder:
Anyone else have any suggestions, or is this just another one I gotta take???

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

I don't know anything about KY, but you may want to check out Markel as I have heard good things about them and am going to check them out when it is time to renew my insurance. www.markelinsuresfun.com .

Best of luck!

Old Newbie

Glad to be welcomed aboard. Bought my RT-S Friday. Saturday and Sunday were cold with rain and hail. Today was the first time I could ride. A whopping 65 miles. My ride became a Methodist today. It only sprinkled a bit. Bike handles like a champ. Rode the super slab as well as in local traffic and so far all is well.

We had 23 new signups this weekend :yes::2excited: and some have posted but most haven't. I try to greet all the new members when I see their post but just in case I missed you I would like to say welcome to all the new members. We're glad to have you here. :doorag:

I found the same problem with high cost insurance for my Spyder..but thanks to this forum found Marc Fischer..Fischer Specialty Ins.....1-877-537-2555.
He specializes in all forms of motorcycle/trike insurance. He was $400 less for annual...so I quickly cxl Foremost for a full refund and Marc's customer service is EXCELLENT.

Try formost ins... half the price of progressive for me in Texas.

Try formost ins... half the price of progressive for me in Texas.

:agree: We ended up with Geico... Insurance is a PITA... No two folks are going to be the same. It is however worth your time and effort to call as many companies as you can to find the coverage and premium that best suits your need.

I found that by calling a few Independent Insurance Agencies that they do most of the work by checking more than one company on your behalf, or they have a favorite they like with good rates.

Good luck!
