this required a lawyer from a m/c magazine and a 3 year legal battle...at the end of which they paid out to cover what they should have on day 1.

during that time I was out of pocket 40K for medical costs- had I been on shaky financial ground, this could have cost me my home.

Thanks, Mike. Post would be more meaningful if you'd state the name of the company though.

I've had Allstate on autos, boats and motorcycles. Only claim was on car after hurricane. They were $100 lower than anyone else on the bike.

I have allstate on my home, autos, bikes, and umbrella. I had one auto claim and one home claim and they came through with no problems. My two bikes cost me less than $500 a year for both in the package and everything else was very competitive. Two thumbs up for me

Take a look at Markel Ins. They saved me $400.00 over Foremost on my 14 SGS. Now I've never had a claim with them or Foremost praise God.

Esurance is Allstate's internet alter-ego, cut out the middle man.
