Gday mate.
Up until recently I had a bike that I stored in LA. I had it fully insured with Progressive. On my last visit I had the misfortune of being cleaned up by a car in the LA hills. Fortunately no damage to em but the bike was written off. Progressive were very easy to deal with and pad out the bike plus 1 k for new gear and paid for a hire bike for the rest of my trip down to Baja.
Was a huge difference to dealing with insurance companies here in Australia.
Can reccomend

Hello all
Thank you for all your replies.
I did eventually go with Motorcycle Express for the insurance.
They sold me Dairyland Insurance for approximately $1200 for the 3 + 1 month insurance periods.
Regards
Gino

Wow! Do I understand correctly that you are paying at a rate of US$3600 per year? That’s incredible. Could you give some sense of what levels of coverage you bought?

Don't understand here, as a potential TCAT rider in the near future this caught my eye and especially a UK entrant signing up with 'Progressive' i thought it was a 'no brainer' plus the after purchase experiences..???!!!

Hi all
I have attached a copy of the Dairyland Cycle Insurance costs for 1 month.
You have the option of picking your own level of cover for each category.
I did try and use the Progressive Insurance web site but had issues as l did not have the required info to fill in the web based application forms. The system would not allow me progress the form, until each section was completed. So could not get a costing on required insurance.
Once again thank you to everyone for your comments and help.
Cheers
Gino

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
