Default Gieko is Legit!

I just recently purchased my 08 Nightster and priced insurance with several different companies. I talked with my local insurace company State Farm and they were going to charge me 367 every 6 months. I then called Gieko. They worked out a deal for full coverage etc, for 329 a year!!!!! Thats a great savings in my mind. I have the MSF safety course etc and saved even more...................thanks Gieko

I got my bike insurance from Progressive, it was way cheaper than even Rider Insurance.

Rider Insurance was always cheap but the coverage was nil. The proof of a great company isn't the policy cost but what they do for you when you file a claim. Many don't cover your medical injuries and some do not cover a passenger. Read over everything carefully so you don't get a surprise when you least expect it.

When i had the Sportster Progressive was the cheapest. When i got the Street Bob, Geico was the cheapest so I went with Geico this time. $405 a year full coverage, $250 deductible.

thanks guys..........I do think the price from Geiko is fair and the policy coverage is almost identical to include un-insured motorist. I was going to go through USAA since im military and they actually go through progressive....but Geiko was the best bet for me at this point.

Geico ... $169.00 a year.

If this is your first year ... $329.00 is about what I paid. It should steadily go down for a few years until bottoming out. That is if you remain accident free and do not get too many tickets.

Wow I wish I could get $169 a year insurance but here in my area of Virginia it's virtually impossible. According to this chart http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-theft/ my area is in the top 10 of the country for thefts and accidents.

Geico was the most reasonable I found. Full coverage, high limits with $500 Dec just over $400 a year.

I have 3 cars insured through progressive, 2 full coverage and 1 liability only.
They charge me $1800 every 6 months on the cars, I asked them about my 09 night train and they quoted $2000 a year, I went with State Farm at $450 a year.
I am 48, clean driving record. Welcome to Michigan no-fault state!
