One of my favorite rides is to to take hiway 25 from just south
of Gilroy to Hollister and keep going. It will take you almost
all the way to Coalinga and its a great ride. There is one spot
that is straight  and smooth for almost five miles with no side
roads and good visibility if you want to find out the top end of
your bike. I have taken this route 5 or 6 times and have yet to see
a cop between Tres Pinos and Coalinga. You can stop down in the twistys
and watch leadwings go by dragging pegs...

The best deal I got on insurance was from Mcgraw-Hill. 
There is a startup fee of approximately $40. Then the
premium was $86 for six months. I had minimum coverage.
This rate is for Fresno. It may vary in the Bay area.
       Just another crazy dude on a bike....

State Farm is reputed to have "best" rates for single males under 30.
I heard this from a AAA agent, who gave me a quote.  Don't know why they
won't give you one.  Perhaps I'm mistaken and the quote was for my car.
At any rate, it was higher than the premium I pay State Farm (single male
age 25).

I've insured my SR250 (and GB500) through State Farm.  When I started,
I was paying about $250 for 100/50/100, uninsured motorist, comp and
collision.  Now I'm in State Farm Mutual and paying $160 for liability
and uninsured motorist.  I've been very happy with State Farm.

Congrats on your new bike.  I'd suggest that you give Coupin Insurance on
Piedmont Avenue in Oakland a call.  They always found me the best deal on
my bikes.  They're an independent agent, so they have lots of options.
Have fun, and keep the rubber side down................Walt

I got the lowest quotes for insurance from Mike Felder in Concord. 
He's at 1-800-7-CYCLES, and gives discounts for taking the MSF courses.

Wow, so far tcs has quite a few riders. I've met Joe and Mark down there,
but have seen some posts from others.

Hi Georgre
Sorry to have misspelled your name. I have insurance with Allstate and the rates
are pretty low. The claim office also works pretty fast.
Here's the name of the lady. Laura Ludwig (408)737 0711
you can mention my name to her. Call her and give it a try.

I found UNISAFE pretty reasonable.  They're located at Homestead and 
Monroe in Santa Clara.  I do not have thier tel # here but am sure 
you'll find them in the YP.  This is an insurance agent who works
with lots of companies and gets the best deal for you and for them.
Me ?  I'm paying approx. 120 bucks on my '81 Kawi 750 LTD.

Re. the years of licensing, UNISAFE asked me how many years and I told 
them 15 (incl my 10 years in India !  And they accepted !!).
