klr seat cheap fix

[Bill Watson]

Al, I'm with Rick, you should check around some more in AZ. I pay $64 a year for my '04 KLR - basic coverage. No accidents, 46 years old. I'm with Allstate. Bill Watson Phoenix ------------------------- Hey Al, Not sure who you are insured with, but through Progressive with full coverage including glass and road side assisstance mine cost is 150 for the year! My agent says I live in a 'good zip code' so maybe that's why? 85747. Anyway, you may want to check it out. Rick Hutton Tucson, AZ --- Al Maurine wrote:

I have Markel (Bikeline) on two bikes (2001 KLR, 2004 TTR250) for about $175 a year. Only liability and uninsured motorist coverage. There are many advantages to older bikes. One is affordability. The KLR got me to MOAB and back with no problem.

Before you decide on an insurance company, call your favorite, trusted bike shop and ask who they like dealing with on claims. Geico and Progressive are fighting words at my close friend's place. eddie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

PS: A guy had a GL1800 Gold Wing dropped off at my friend's shop after it hit a large, iron brake drum(!) that had been tossed about by vehicles ahead of him. {Might've come off a salvage truck,etc...} Anyhow, the piece hit the lower fairing on the right side - just behind the front wheel. Upon impact, it shattered the fairing, front engine cover, broke part of the frame mounting away from the engine case and did extensive damage to the internals. It was one of the two below. But, the adjuster came by, did a cursory walk around and said it could be fixed for $750. The mechanic went ballistic. The engine case was broken. The FRAME was broken. The bike ended up being totaled and they wanted to cut a check for $750 and be done. Another bike came in for accident repairs and the adjuster began writing up the parts needed. He couldn't find that particular model in his computer. So, he "guessed" and wrote it based upon a similar bike. A cruiser's a cruiser, right? Wrong. A lady backed into my Transalp years ago and the dealer where the ins. took it called to tell me they had an estimate on my bike. He *1/2 jokingly* said there was very little actual damage and they considered pushing it off the loading dock to make more money off it. I picked up the paid-for parts and replaced everything myself. Be afraid. Be very afraid. ---------------------------

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> eddie, That's some pretty good advice for guesstimating how well you'll be treated by an insurance company. Kind of interesting this came up today. I just got done with an appointment with my local insurance agent. His quote for my 2003 KLR650 is $95.10 for a year for full coverage with $500 deductible, Bodily Injury Liability-$250,000 per person, $500,000 per occurrence and Property Damage Liability at $250,000 per occurrence. Oh, and Uninsured and underinsured at $250,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence. I haven't done medical since I have some other pretty good coverage. I haven't had time to compare with my current insurance from Progressive but I think this is more than I currently pay. To me it is worth having a local insurance agent. I like the fact I've been using my guy since 1992 and all I have to do is make a phone call for personal assistance.

In Texas coverage rates are establish by law. Everybody same same. What you get, or don't, is claim support on the other end. I use Dairyland. I used to be a claims adjuster for Allstate. They don't want your business for liability only. Marshall in Lubbock who hated the ins biz [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I changed to State Farm this year due to the fact that both my truck and wife's rodeo plus the house is insured with them. Cost was 22.90 liability and 84.67 uninsured medical for the Bandit. 22.47 liability and same 84.67 for the KLR . That's for the year. Never even asked what full coverage would be on the bandit.

Anyone else recall the article Rider magazine(?) did several years ago where they made up an "typical" motorcyclist that was male, 35 or 36 years old, 1 ticket, no accidents and callee around to various companies for insurance quotes on a Yamaha R1? They had the guy living in various locations throughout the country, too. Cheapest rates were in like Kansas or Nebraska, I can't remember. What I do recall was the annual rate for New York City, full coverage: $23,000. I had to reread the line to realize they were saying it wasn't a misprint. Yes, the coverage was more than twice what the bike (then) cost new. I don't remember the carrier, though. I guess it was that company's way of just saying we don't want to cover it. But, if you insist on going with us, it's gonna REALLY cost you. eddie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Ordinarily I have little sympathy with anything an insurance company does, but in this case, we are on the same page. I don't care what they want to charge, because I don't want to ride an R1 in NYC.
