Title: Bike(s) Insurance
Post by: KJDonovan on January 24, 2019, 12:21:49 PM

Looking for recommendations on insuring multiple vintage bikes.  Most of these are off-road and not registered so I am not looking for liability insurance, just fire, theft, garage falling down - stuff like that.  Looked online at a few places but most seem to provide insurance for registered bikes.  Ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin, I asked about this with my carrier last year. He said I would have to have the bikes appraised to get a value to insure them for. Look at Haggarty, I think they might help you.

Have used Foremost for years. Good rates, have to send a picture & vin.
Easy peasy!

We use Haggarty for our vintage Brit bike collection. Most are not registered. 3 are, and the PA liability is very inexpensive.

I always used Progressive on my bikes. The small displacement vintages (Penton) bikes were 119 for liability and 209 for comprehensive.  Pretty resonable protection if your entering events out of State.
 Luckily crimes pretty mild here in Me. I was more concerned with hitting an under aged spectator...

Call whomever insures your autos and home. Most are very reasonable. Shelter Insurance covers mine here in Louisiana (I'm the agent).

Shelter is available in about 20 States, but they have to have your other vehicles first.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.  I tried the agent (Allstate) that insures my house, pickup and liability for the registered bikes but he was zero help.  The town I live in is very rural with next to nothing for crime - but just the same I want to protect my stuff.  I will give both Haggarty and Foremost a call to see what they can do.  

Thanks,

Kevin
