She got this information from a police officer she rides with.

Don't know for sure about it's accuracy, though.

There's something about that on either the DOL site for WA or in the RCW, but I can't seem to find it at the moment...

But I believe it's correct, and something to the tune of $20,000. Shelling out $200 a year or so for insurance is a steal in comparison.

1. Geico
2. 300K/100K bodily injury, 50K property, $200 deductible for comprehensive and collision
3. $208 every 6 mos.
4. Never filed a claim.

1. Progressive.
2. Liability only.
3. $75/year
4. Never filed a claim.

I can afford to replace the bike, I park only in secure areas, I have a bike nobody really wants to steal, I have medical through work, and I do not carry passengers. Without liability, not only is everything you have at risk, but so is everything you earn for the rest of your life.
