Car accidents or motorcycle accidents are an unfortunate reality of modern life. The physical, emotional, and financial toll they can take on...
From their website:
"Overseas Visitors
Planning a visit to the United States? Want to ride your motorcycle during your visit? Let Fernet Insurance Brokers arrange for your temporary insurance needs before you even leave home! We offer a program designed to cover yourself and your cycle while you are visiting. Its the Safe Trip Motorcycle Insurance Program from Dairyland, one of the largest motorcycle insurance companies in America, rated A+ by A.M. Best.
And, the program even offers roadside assistance. Additional Information: Insuring visitors' motorcycles touring the USA and Canada is fairly straight forward, especially when the on-line form has been fully completed, and the authorized credit card is processed without difficulty. Please ensure that there is no hold on the credit card for charges by third parties from overseas.
Some visitors travel with the intention to purchase their motorcycle in the USA. Of course, we can only begin the insurance process after the motorcycle has been bought and a valid VIN [Vehicle Identification Number] is available in order to complete the insurance application. A temporary registration must then be obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles [DMV] showing proof of insurance. There should be no problem if the motorcycle is purchased from a dealership as they handle the registration and provide you with the necessary temporary tag. However, it can be much more complicated if the motorcycle is purchased from a private owner. The difficulties vary from state-to-state and from DMV office-to-DMV office, depending on the clerk that you are dealing with."
From Nick A., Progressive Internet Representative, in an email to a British traveller wanting insurance for a months ride across the USA on his own UK registered bike:
"You would be able to purchase a policy with Progressive with either an international or foreign country’s driver’s license as long as there was a permanent address within the U.S. where mail could be sent and the vehicle would be kept.
There would be a surcharge for having a non-U.S. license, but that would be included in the quote prior to your completing it.
Unfortunately, we do not sell short term policies. Motorcycle policies are currently sold for 12 month terms."
So sadly not much use for travellers passing through. Reports say they're good for US residents.

For non-residents of these areas:
e.g. "cover for a non-EU resident on an EU registered bike providing the person being insured owns that bike."
