Thumbs down Hows this for a screwing ?

Just been told at our workplace if we ride a motorcycle starting in 2014 our health insurance will not cover us while on the bike !!!!!!!!! WTF

This goes for if you are a passenger on a bike and folks riding ATV's also.

We've been fighting this via the USDefender program for years.

It also targets horseback riding, skiing, sky diving, racing cars, and pages of other high risk activities.

I'm not sure that's legal. Call up your state's insurance board & try to get the real skinny.

I mean, they gonna tell the fatbodies that their gonna hafta pony up more $$$ for their inability to push their asses back from the table?

Saddens me greatly but not shocked given the large sheep population even on this forum. Lotta bikers here just throw up their hands in compliance to big government. They want more laws and fewer freedoms for the "other guy"...
Now they are the other guy.

Wow! Some kind of profiling BS or what!? What about water skiing, snow skiing, rock climbing, scuba diving, sky diving and god-knows-what-else that can be dangerous or life-threatening? That is some total BS! I can't believe they have the ***** to even suggest something like that. Total crap.

Next it'll be if your car doesn't have this or that safety feature, no insurance. Anything to keep from paying out.

The industry better get on this crap. Less bikers means less sales, dealers, mechanics, parts and all the other jobs the industry supports.
