Last week I asked my insurance agent for the quote on the R1. First quote he gives me is $1837 or something. I tell him no way & we change a few numbers, go from a $250 deductible to a $500 & the price drops to $1300+ change. Still asinine but somewhat understandable givin the numbers I have seen others post.

He writes the policy up & when it spits back the total amount due from the home office in Madison the price drops dramatically.....how's $275 a year full coverage sound? He is a bit perplexed but says "what the hell, if thats what they want to charge you let them".

Get the policy in the mail the other day & sure enough its listed in black & white at $275 per year full coverage with a $500 deductible for an 04 R1. Now im just hoping they dont change their mind all of a sudden.

Cool. I hope you never have to make a claim, and your premium never increases.

Hey Dyna,

Why not bring that R1 up to two wheel Tuesday this Tuesday?

Meet at the Mars Cheese Castle at 6pm we will leave at 6:31 pm.

Regards

Mike

Destination one of Milwaukees hot spots? If so is it Brady street or the one out by Capitol?

Nights work out great for me now since I get off work at 2:30.

God bless you Squidlyman.

If my insurance was premium $275 per year, I'd still have insurance.

I dropped my bike on the right side a few months ago and the damage was close to $800. Bummer. That was still way less than the $500 deductible and $600 premium. If I get through from now until the end of July without dropping it again, I'll be money ahead.

Dyna...If'n you come up for Two Wheel Tuesday, let me know when and where. I wanna lay some drool on your new bike. Plus, I haven't seen you for a while and have some catching up to do.

If you to the Culver's thing, I will Hog it and show you the almost finished product. If it is at the Garage/Hi Hat on Brady, I have to take the Buell. They don't like Harley's down there. For that matter, they don't like Buell's much either. LOL

BTW, I definitely prefer the Brady street deal. Culvers is ok if you want a burger & stand around in a parking lot looking like an idiot. At least downtown you have places to sit down, watch some tube, hear some music, etc.

I know what you mean about Culver's. I went twice to TWT after they moved there and gave up on it. The Garage is a much better set up especially with those two Huge projection screens or whatever you call them. Heck, even LW Meats was better and they only had a small TV set up. LOL

So let me know if you are heading this way and when you plan to arrive and depart. Don't forget to bring your camera, I think there will be one sign you can't resist taking a pic of.

Where the hell would I carry a camera? Cant put anything under the seat or it would probably start on fire from the exhaust temps

This bike is going to make a great cold weather ride. Has its own built in heater.

Wouldnt matter, id be so far in front of that you wouldnt even be able to see a faint flicker of light from my tailight.


Rog, American Family is the insurance. For years I have had decent rates but nothing great. Seems like this is the first time they have cut me a break. And of course my agent tells me "when you hit 50 then your rates will drop". I told him to save that lie, been telling me that for 25 years they just keep upping the age tho.

Gee, thanks Koz. LOL

Ok, forget the tank bag. Get one of those carbon fiber back packs and pretend it is some form of neck/back protection for the UltraSquid.

BTW...finally got the actual bill today..not just a quote & yep $275.60 for the year for the R1. I mailed it off immediately before they change their mind.

Now I have to stop in there monday & see about the price for the Dyna. Foremost which I have had for 6 years just jacked up their rates & they now want $420 for the year. Is that wacked or what? $400 for a HD & $275 for an R1? And who says insurance rates for sportbikes suck?: D

dyna, i too have american family, even with the house, two vehicles, the xb and the r1, the r1 is still hella pricey.

how'd you swing a deal like that? what coverage did you opt for?
