Back in late '05 I switched to Drive Insurance for my two Harley's ('80 FXB Sturgis - original owner and my '03 Electra Glide). In '08 I added my new "R" to the policy. Carried full coverage on all the bikes with a $250 deductible, no tickets, no accidents, no claims, etc. For 2009 the coverage (in the Bay Area / Cali) on the Buell was $813.00 for the year. A couple of weeks ago I got my new policy renewal notice and Drive / Progressive jacked up the Buell premium to $1634.00 per year!!! What the "F"!!! I called them up and asked what was going on, their reply was we are "adjusting our rates". Told them I would be looking for a different company to do business with. Called Geico and they gave me the same coverage on the Buell for $450.00 / year. Called Drive back up and told them that they had lost my business and that I would not recommend / refer them to anyone I knew. Even my brand new 2010 BMW K1300GT with full coverage is only $760 / year. BTW it is an ubber smooth, fast, and fun long distance missile! |

Progressive Tried to charge me the same amount for my CR... That's why I Went with AAA with my 73yr membership lol (I'm 21) they have me for just under $500 for the year which I'm plenty happy with. |

Money talks. When we are getting bent over, if we don't take our money somewhere else, it's our own fault. Good on ya rider! BTW, IMO Progressive sucks! When I bought my 04 ZX10R new, they wanted over 4K a year to insure me and I was over 40 and a MSF RiderCoach, no tickets. |
