This was true for me also (the one year thing) but they didn't stipulate 
that it had to be one year AFTER getting the class M license, i.e. dirt-bike 
riding can count.  I went with them (through SW Honda here in Houston) and 
for my 1990 GS500E, full coverage was $450/year (since they and everyone 
else rate that bike under the same catagory as ZXCBRGS1100RF type bikes).

Once the bike was paid off (yea!) I dropped coverage to liability and 
comp for a grand total of $260/year.  Plus, at the beginning of the second 
year I already got a small discount for their preferred riders (i.e. no 
accidents and/or claims).  Next year I should get another discount and 
they also give a discount for taking an MSF course (which I still need 
to do).

Overall, I've been real happy with Dairyland--it helped of course that 
I dealt with an agent (i.e. a dealer that knew me) who set up everything.

I doubt I would have received the same quote had I called Dairyland 
directly.

I live in San Antonio (NW side) and I'd really appreciate any info anybody
has about a reliable, reasonable place to take my bike when it needs to be
worked on.  I own a 75 Honda 550-four.  I'll probably need tires pretty soon,
and I don't want to get ripped off, as this is my first bike and I don't know
a whole lot about how much everything should cost...

Also, I need a left front turn signal...What's a good place for parts?

Thanks in advance,
Travis

Although $1400/year sounds outrageous, two of the things that they look at 
the most when deciding your premium are age and driving record. Also, 
the rates are based on displacement. And a V65 Magna isn't exactly a small 
displacement bike. I can believe this rate if you're single and under 25, 
with a couple of tickets here and there. 

I'm 28, single, and I haven't had a moving violation in over 4 years, and I 
pay Dairyland $670/year for full coverage on my '81 CB750F. It's insured at a 
$2500 replacement value, even though there's no way I could replace it for 
that. 

Just check out how much it costs to insure a ZX11 if you think $1400 is bad 
(Joe? Any input here? Maybe that's why you _really_ got the K100:-).

here's the standings. I'm going to wimberley tuesday evening to pay club
fees and camp fees. if your check isn't in yet all hope is not lost. we
will have a buffer of 4 in our club count. this means that there can be
up to 4 people walk into the campsite saturday evening and be able to stay
as a member of the group. I will be purchasing food supplies _probably_ on 
thursday. I will not purchase supplies for checks I have not received by 
mail delivery that day! call it the drop dead date :-)

at current estimates the raffle kitty isn't gonna be very big, I called
this one pretty close (too bad the politicians can't do so well! :) I
won't really know much more than that until after thursday. we *might* be
able to muster one of the closeout rainsuits from TJ's but that's about it.
some idea's for inexpensive raffle prizes would be welcome to the mailing
list (fest@rider.cactus.org). we could also just raffle the cash itself.

at last look the weather geek has moved the cold front out from friday to
saturday. let's all concentrate on pushing that out and NOBODY WASHES THEIR
BIKE ON FRIDAY! :-)

Full coverage on my Sportster is ~$800.00 / year and that's the lowest I could
find in Dallas (State Farm). After all the b.s I had to go thru just to get
quotes, I feel damn lucky to have gotten the thing insured at all. I'm well
over 25 and have a spotless drivers license record.

Long trips? I don't know Blaine... From A&M??? 

Sheesh, I MOVED from Lynchburg, VA to San Antonio on my VF700S by myself!
Well, there was a moving van that followed me a couple of months later, but I
lived out of what I carried for those two months. (Let's see, two pair of
pants, three shirts and a pair of socks :^)

That was over 1550 miles that I travelled by myself. I have ridden over 950
miles on the VF700S in one day by myself. Done a number of ~500-~600 mile
trips like that also.

Sounds like you need an attitude adjustment.

What say I bring one of those looong splindly-arm carb-screw adjusters? It
would probably do the job.  :^)

Me too. I live on my motorcycle. That PC trunk comes in handy for storing
dirty laundry. Hey! maybe I should just add some soap and hot water before I
head home on Fridays.

I'm on the far SW side of SA. It normally takes about 1 1/2 hours to get to
Wimberly. It takes an hour to make it to Selma at 65 mph on 410.  Of course
it'll end up taking me about three hours because I'll probably take a side
trip past Sisterdale or such.

well.....

being over 30, married, garaging the bike, no tickets or any other blemishes,
3 years worth of renewal discounts, four seasons discounts (all tolled I was
getting about 45% off the regular premium with the discounts), etc, I was
paying $850 year for insurance on the ZX-11. so you figure starting a new
policy would be around $1500-$1700 for me. under 25? single? you could pay
off the bike first. Dairyland wasn't the only company that would insure the
ZX-11 though, I did find two others, one at $2400 year and another at $3800
year, again, that was for my situation.

the insurance on the BMW was a real nice surprise, I paid the _down payment_
on the ZX-11 insurance and 4 weeks later got the BMW. after cancelling the 
ZX-11 policy and paying the full year for the BMW insurance I had about $100
left over :-)

No, my definition of long simply differs from yours.  Especially if there's
no music.  If there's no music, ten miles can be damn long. :)

Since 80% or more of my riding is commuting, a trip to Austin is long.


Besides... what does it matter to you?  :-)   You only have to ride a couple
of miles to start this fest.  I have to ride two hours. :-)

Help, I need some help with insurance information for the Houstom
area.  I am currently looking for motorcycle insurance for a
1985 Honda V65 Magna.  So far I have checked with Dairyland and
State Farm insurance.  Both of these companies wanted more than I
considered reasonable, $1400 and $800 respectively.  Keep in mind 
that was for full coverage, 20/40/15.

Anyway, does anyone have any insurance recommendations or am I
going to be stuck?  I am not really in a hurry at this point
because the bike is locked up in Illinois in storage until I am
able to resolve this (although it would be nice to finally ride
it again).

Any help would be appreciated.

]but I'd hate to hear that something nasty happened to his bike!!??!!

last I heard, the bike is fine. it's sitting in a garage collecting dust.
IBM decided steve really needed to get away so they sent him to germany.
I guess they got tired of his grammer and spelling as well :-)
