4 tickets

ASHES · 09-27-2009, 09:41 PM

Hi guys,

If you have 4 tickets on your record with a 1 year bike experience, how much should you be paying for liability only?

The tickets are as follows; no seatbelt, going thru stop sign, 15km over and 10km over. All with car.

My brother's record. He is planning to buy gsxr 600 this week and prep it for next year.

a **** load.

Call your broker and get "real" quotes.

He might be better off finding and cheap track bike and hitting the track.

best bet is jevco.

Best bet is facility since he is getting gsxr, if he got an sv Jevco would likely be the best.

Best bet is not to bother. If he keeps running stops signs on a bike he'll be brown bread by June.

Realistically he needs to wait till he clears all his driving offences before he gets insurance unless he wants to throw alot of money away.

Unfortunately it sounds like he'll be on facility, which starts around $4K, and the sky is the limit. It doesn't matter if they were in a car or on a bike; a bad risk is a bad risk.

This won't have a happy ending.

A friend's brother did the same thing: 4 tickets within 1 year. He loved riding fast and hard, and destroyed 1 bike before being forced, financially, to sell his bike and stop riding.

Maybe price or insurance for a scooter, or contact a rich uncle.

Insurance companies don't really care what your tickets are for. You are now "high risk" and need facility insurance. Good luck with getting that on a sport bike.

I agree with the suggestion of track only until your tickets clear from your record.

The 10-over and 15-over tickets are BS (but were these marked down from a much higher speed?), but there is no excuse for the other two.

Improve attitude towards safety, wait for tickets to clear, then proceed with a smaller and more easily insurable bike.

Just pray you win the lottery ... LOL

start calling insurance companies before you buy. most will probably tell you that they dont want to insure your brother, depending on his age and that ticket combo.

call around get some real quotes.
