Does it make sense...?
Turk,
I agree, it does not seem to make a lot of sense to me either. I'm sure the insurance companies are suffering some horrendous medical claims from the many young guys on their superbikes. I'm not sure how the kids can afford to insure their bikes, unless it's mommy and daddy footing the bill.
What's really interesting is that PA has just repealled the helmet law. Now it you are over 19 you can ride sans helmet. Of course what is really silly is that we still have a mandatory seat belt law. I guess if I ride a motorcycle I can make my own choices, but if I drive a car I can not.
The one quote I have received is thankfully a lot less than what Blackjack is being asked to pay, but it's still a lot of money. I can afford to pay it, but I'm concerned there are so few options.
I really don't have all of the facts. Are the insurance companies justified in their aversion to insuring our cars? I don't know. The fellow that appraised my car said that within the past 6 months he has seen things start to turn around where more companies are willing to write policies, we'll see.
