3rd party Insurance for USA

Hi all,
I was wondering whether someone can point me in the right direction with regards to insurance for the USA, I fly to Anchorage on Tuesday so have left it a little late to sort this!
Can I buy it when I get there or will this take a while? Is there any insurance company that you can recommend for me to sort this with before I leave? I will only be in Alaska for 8 days and then re entering the USA for a further 10 days. And third party cover is all I need.
Any help would be most welcome.
Many thanks
Chris

I'm also in the same boat! I fly Sunday! (Don't forget your EPA letter)

I'm trying Berglund Insurance Agency - Motorcycle Insurance and Much More! Motorcycle Insurance Specialists - Fernet Insurance Brokers for motorcycle insurance. and I did try Motorcycle Express - Ship Your Bike

Motorcycle express can't help (bike is too small :' )

Waiting on a decent way to pay the other two, they use the same underwriter but want you to either fax or email your bank details...I think.

Membership - help keep us going!

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.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
