get statefarm... it beats the shit outta gieco... i have full coverage on my bike with a duc of $250... it cost me 200$ a month but i rather have that shit incase i go down plus i have a loan out on the bike so i have to have full coverage.. plus with experience with my truck accidents statefarm has always gone above what i expected... i looked into gieco for my bike insurance and they wanted waaay to much!

Tony is the guy at Sickles, i took my class there 3 years ago when i was 19 on my birthday, it was $185 then, its 3 days long, firday night u do a written test and watch some videos, then saturday is an all-day riding skill day, and sunday u review all your riding techniques and take your test, it was a BLAST, and u learn things out there u could only learn from mistakes on your own. the more you can learn without making a mistake on the road, the better.

insurance is not required IF you wear a helmet, if you DO NOT wear a helmet u MUSt carry proof of a $10,000+ devoted life insurance policy to cover your clean-up. its an easy choice just wear a fickin helmet, and jacket, and gloves, an ankle high boots w/ long pants.

The only thing is that State Farm will NOT cover you. So if you get hurt without health insurance, you're screwed. Geico is so expensive because they include PIP in the coverage. I know cause my bike is insured through State Farm and they won't write PIP for me on the bike, only the car.

no one asked me either and as far as i'm aware it's only illegal to not have insurance if you're involved in an accident
