Re: Mantha Insurance - "Finding Insurance shouldn't keep you from the open road" That's a deal man! I got quoted $18,000 :lmao:

Re: Mantha Insurance - "Finding Insurance shouldn't keep you from the open road" I received a pamphlet from them when I passed my M2 safety course with RTI. So I would think they are legit.

That's a pretty good quote for your age. Don't take it for granted. It could be a lot worse.

I actually got a better quote from Facility than I did from JEVCO... worth a shot.

Option 1 is the only option for me. The wait until next spring is going to be awful :(

I believe you are exempt from cancellation fees if and only if you sell your motorcycle. I would confirm that with the insurance company you are thinking of using... I probably wouldn't tell them that you're planning to cancel after a month though.

I got a quote from Facility, $4500... which isn't too awful, but they want payment in full which I can't afford right now. By the time I can, riding season will be almost over. :(

I just bought a new bike. Go for it, you'll get a better deal than you would next spring.

That is indeed strange. Yeah I bought the bike, so it's mine forever. I'm perfectly fine with not riding until next season, but I had some glimmer of hope that there was a reasonable insurance company out there, I guess that's too much to expect from such a racket. I'm in the wrong industry :D

Turning 28 soon. I've ridden bikes before, but never on a regular basis. I wasn't aware of the convicted on the day you pay thing, so that's my bad. I'll be riding next year though. Insurance company is kinda screwing themselves out of money to be honest, since the bike is going to be stored...

Purely for entertainment purposes: Jevco called me back and quoted me well over $12,000 for insurance lol Costs more than the bike itself. The agent and I had a good laugh about that. Good times.

Agreed. I'll be spending the money I would have spent on insurance on a bike trailer instead. Take it out to the track and just wait until next year to hit the street.

Yeah I was aware of my tickets, I just didn't realize that they convict you on the day you pay it rather than the day it actually happened. My fault for waiting to pay it I guess. I suppose I'll just wait until next year and stare at my bike in the garage lol

So State Farm gave me quotes and told me I'm good to go. I buy my bike (2011 R6) and go in to sign up for insurance. They all of a sudden deny me... I don't know why they continue to issue me quotes on bikes after I gave them all my info and told them about my tickets (at least what I could...
