Looks like Geico didn't completely understand the Harley market though.  Put the riders on Harleys but put them in smurf suits.  Any self-respecting caveman riding a hog would be in jeans :huepfenlol2: .

Yeah, it's almost comical how Geico tries to connect. I'm not sure if they think going counter-intuitive and dorky is going to stand out and relate, but seems just dumb to me?

I did however notice something cool. Allstate has a new interactive site that's pretty neat.

Don't know how "dorky" this will stand out, but as far as them being a good insurance company...they get two  :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21: from me.  I've been insuring motorcycles with them since 1985 and have had great service with them and great rates.

They must have just started doing MC's again, back in 06 they directed me to Progressive...that is who I have both my bikes insured with.

USAA has me pissed off right now, I got into a bumper bender back in 06 - wasn't ticketed by the Officer who came to the accident, the folks in front of me slammed the first car, and then ran (left their lic plate imprint in her bumper).  I cracked my license plate cover - nothing more, on their rear bumper - very light hit almost made it to not even hit them.  In VA they (USAA) couldn't charge me/collect for it, as soon as I moved to NC in 07 they used a legal loophole to asses me $73.00 every 6 months even though I was not at fault.  I have to pay it until 2011!  So we asked them what happens when we move back to VA next year - waiting to see what happens.

Not in my case...When I became qualified for USAA, the rate they quoted me for 6 months was what I was paying a year with GEICO.  They, USAA, refused to believe me when I was quoting them right off of the policy that I had with GEICO.  I've been with GEICO for over 23 years now and I get great rates with them.  Nobody, and I mean nobody, can come close to them.  Sean, I'm surprised that GEICO sent you to progressive in 06.  Like I said, I've had my bikes insured with them since 1985 when I came back from overseas.

Oops, sorry, misread your post.  ???  Okay, that makes sense.  It didn't that GEICO would have refused you coverage.

I switched to USAA when my oldest Daughter turned 16.  Geico rate went why up when daughter turned 16, But the USAA rate quote with 16 year old daughter was what I was paying with Geico before my daughter turned 16.

They have been insureing my motorcycle since 2003.

USAA does send my boat to Progressive, but not the bike.

USAA is very reasonable on my Bikes and my Vette.

They were also real good when my youngest daughter hit a deer and totaled the Impala she was driving.  My rates did not go up.
