One of the regulars at Motorcycle.com is "acecycleins," aka: Kirk Harrington. Kirk owns Ace Specialty Insurance, and focuses on policies for bikes and other motorsports. I just got insurance for my new DL1K from Kirk; here's why:
-The prices from Geico, Progressive, and a couple of other big names came in around $1,200/yr. Kirk got me a policy for $677, with the same coverage the other guys quoted. Cha-ching!
-Kirk was very helpful and consulted with me on the policy personally. Honestly, I have no idea if I need a 100/200 or a 200/100, but after working with Kirk, I'm sure I have what I really need and no more.
-Going along with the above, I liked working with an actual rider, and not just clicking on a website (you can do it that way if you want to) or talking to "some guy" in a giant call center. Kirk is a dedicated rider, and it shows.
-All aspects of the deal were handled promptly and professionally. I had my coverage the day I faxed the papers, and hardcopy documents within 3 days via mail.
-When I asked his associate Wendy via email where I should call in case of an accident, she gave me the "official 800 number," but also gave me their cell number and said to "load it in my cell phone" and call them directly 24/7 if I ever need anything.
Obviously, not everyone's experience will be exactly like mine, and some people have varous reasons to go with other companies, (combined home/auto/bike policies, what have you) but, if you are looking for a policy, I highly recommend you give Kirk a shot at your business. I contacted him initially via PM on this site, but you can find his website at acecycleins.com.
