Let's say I shopped around *a lot*, because I knew my credit stunk like rotting whale crap, and I live on a small fixed income. Progressive was the cheapest I found for my '09 Dyna SG at $511/yr. They even called a week after I got my bike home and told me they can probably get my truck insurance lower than what I have with State Farm right now. So, I'd say Progressive is a good company 'for the price', I can't say anything about after an accident and hope I won't ever have to, heh.

Progressive was 900 for an '05 Sporty; Geiko will be 260.

Before you purchase insurance you might consider other companies



This is a heads up regarding Progressive Auto Insurance. You know who they are. They’re the ones with the clever television ads featuring the perky brunette actress all dressed in white. What you might not know is that the Chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of the largest funders of the left in America. He’s your typical rich spoiled kid who took over the company from his father and apparently feels “guilty” for his success and now dedicates himself to making it impossible for anyone else to become wealthy.

Between 2001 and 2003, Lewis funneled
$15 million to the ACLU, the group most responsible for destroying what’s left of America’s Judeo-Christian heritage. Indeed, Lewis is himself a ACLU member. One of the ACLU projects he earmarked his funds for was an effort to sue school districts who have drug testing policies. In other words, this idiot wants teachers to be able to use drugs without fear of exposure. I wonder what he would think if all his own employees came to work drugged out every day.

Lewis also gave $12.5 million to MoveOn.org and
American Coming Together, two key components of the socialist left. The former group is perhaps the main group used by the Obama forces to organize their activists; the latter group is a 527 political action group that essentially served as a front for the SEIU union thugs who ran ACORN. His funding for these groups was conditional on matching contributions from George Soros, the international socialist who finances much of the Obama political network.

It’s disturbing that Lewis made a fortune as a result of capitalism but now finances a progressive movement that threatens to destroy the free enterprise system. He reminds me somewhat of
Armand Hammer, the former head of Occidental Petroleum who did business with Joseph Stalin and become his good friend, around the same time Stalin was executing businessmen all over the USSR.

What angers me further is the way this company is targeting television shows watched by conservatives such as Fox News. Peter Lewis is making a fortune off of conservative Americans so that he can destroy our country. He’s banking on no one finding out who he is.
I think it’s time we expose this clown.

I did check it out and this article is true. I changed mine to Dairyland. A few bucks more but without all the commie baggage!

Good enough for me. I'm going with Progressive.

Haven't had to make a claim, but I am very happy with Progressive. Leave the politics out of it.

I had them when I had my Honda CBR600F4 sinc they were alot less than nation wide that I had when I got the bike. Then when I got the ZR1000 they were too much so I went to Statefarm and now have everythnig insured my Statefarm.

A couple days ago I ran through the HD site for a Progressive quote to compare with
my existing, high coverage, Geico policy.

Flo's a ho... Progressive wanted @ $1,400 MORE than Geico for similar coverage.

I've been happy with them for 3 years now. I actually switched after I got hit by a driver that was insured by them. They were so easy to deal with and pushed the dealer to get my bike done faster that when my State Farm policy was done I signed up with Progressive, they are always by far the cheapest when I look around.
