McGraw motorcycle ins?

Has anyone heard of or used McGraw motorcycle ins (https://ridewithmcgraw.com/).... my year through progressive is just about up, and well i thought i might shop around even though my rate is low (211 for the yr)... but a quote for better coverage has me at just about 100 bucks less! ... so i was wondering if anyone had any info or experience with em?

Thanks.

Full coverage or what? I'm using Progressive and have kept them for just over two years.

I'm 26 and with one ticket, liability last year was $480. This year my record is clean. The same liability + comp and $3,000 accessory coverage package is $235 with the full payment discount.

It ticks me off looking at the details of my policy. $20 of it is for some stupid local tax to rebuild downtown. Funny...when they started talking about that tax, they said it would only cost each person $30. They wouldn't let me write them a check for $30 and exempt from the tax. Wonder why. They tax all insurance for that downtown project.

I think details on this are important because one seemingly small difference can mean big $$$. I've pasted my coverage from the Progressive website.

BODILY INJURY & PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY
- BI $100,000 EACH PERSON - $300,000 EACH ACCIDENT
- PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY - $50,000 EACH ACCIDENT
PEDESTRIAN PERSONAL INJURY PROTECTION
- $10,000 LIMIT - NO DEDUCTIBLE
COMPREHENSIVE $500 DEDUCTIBLE
ACCESSORY COVERAGE $3,000
UNINSURED MOTORIST - REJECTED

im @ 211 a yr with minimum liabilities .... 21 yrs old, live in southern california and have 2 pts on my record from one offense.... apparently cops dont like burnouts in the rain in a truck.

I called up McGraw today and got a quote of 118 with better coverage than progressive (what i currently have)... but being that i have never heard of McGraw insurance im a little leary...

I dont plan on making any claims... i mean 99% of the time the crash will be my fault for laying it over, and no one else will be involved so no point in makin a claim IMO. But even then on the off chance i do have to make a claim, i dunno how a smaller company will handle such a thing.

I have Progressive as well, and after you hit a year, you enter their Silver program, or something, and get an additional discount (I'm assuming no points/claims that year), so mine actually went down from about 280 to 220, full coverage. 32, clean record (current )

ya.... mine went up 4 dollars from last yr.

I had progressive for a yr on my dads vtx1800 at 280 for min coverage, the second year would of been half (140), but i switched bikes to the 919 right when my first yr was up... so i have had the same policy with them for now 2 yrs... so no awesome discount there :-(

I really got to go to the dmv and get an H6 form to see how many pts are on my record. I know i have 2 for sure, but i did rear end a lady in her car last yr... it did a total of bending my front license plate, but she claimed it through her ins, but i dont know if its gone any further.

If you're 21- buy the absoulute cheapest insurance you can find.

It's not like something drastic can happen and you might risk loosing your lake house and private jet.

OTOH, a court could attach your wages for the next 30 years.
