While researching the issue of insurance in N America and Canada, I came across this site:
https://motorcycleridecoverage.com/m...rs-in-the-usa/

It provides useful info and on this page:
https://motorcycleridecoverage.com/v...cle-insurance/
it explains the various options and add-ons available. This would be useful even if you are not on a vintage bike as it explains all the options and add-ons available.

As always YMMV!

Also note that I consider the 200,000 Liability coverage to be completely inadequate in North America, it should be AT LEAST a million, so ask about that. Remember that's someone else's medical bills you could be liable for, and 200,000 goes nowhere in a hospital in the USA, or even Canada.

I recently toured N America (USA & Canada) on my 1974 Honda 750.

I insured with Progressive Insurance (https://www.progressive.com

I received excellent service from the company including breakdown and towing assistance.

Fully recommended.

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.
