Re: [ST] Is it time for the Insurance thead yet?

[Martin Waltman <marty_rw@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a old (25 yrs) HD that I only ride when it's
sunny and 70.....and it runs......I only carry
liability on it USAA charged me $300/yr progress is
$100/yr. The USAA operator really did tell my friend
that they didn't want to insure motorcycles and that
they were going to give him a large increase for no
real reason. I use USAA and will keep using them for
my cars and home but the bikes are with progressive.
