What are you paying for Insurance?

I didn’t know what an umbrella policy was until my lawyer explained it to me

Too bad the only people that have one are people that could actually pay off the hospital’s and doctors if sued : )

My own fault for thinking I had 100% thru my work. Now I know exactly what I have and how it works. Hope you do too. Just in case

Did you sue her for the $300k? I got hit by an uninsured drive (fortunately was in my car). What a pain.
 
I woke up right before they got there. Told em my neck was broke. Dude said, how do you know? “Cuz I can’t move anything below it and my neck hurts really bad”

I guess if were broke the helmet was gonna have to come off sooner or later?
 
Eventually it will have to be removed but there's no real reason to remove a helmet post crash unless the person isn't getting air or has an obvious injury which needs to be addressed to prevent the loss of life.

Protocols for EMTs and paramedics will depend on their jurisdiction and medical director.

$245 USD/year for my '21 Streetfighter. 44yo Male, No incidents (USAA/Progressive)
 
Prior military insurance rates with USAA. Boot camp had to be worth something ! Haha :)
 
I guess mine is a lot more expensive than most. However, I carry uninsured motorist protection (you need it in Texas because they are tons of uninsured, illegal drivers who don't even have a license) and triple the default payout. Why? Because I know several guys on other motorcycle forums who went for a life flight and found out the hard way insurance will usually only cover a fraction of the costs. One dude got a $50k life flight bill in addition to $50k in medical expenses. Common insurance in the US only covers you for ~$30k total, so this guy is on the hook for $70k after his insurance payed out. Ouch!

I didn't think things like that happened very often, but after that post went up numerous other people chimed in with similar horror stories. I'd rather pay a higher premium and have the protection.
 
Oh yeah

I would love to see that

No one fast around here is on a twin

Keep smokin em man

Purdy sure they were taking about insurance for their street bikes
 
$50/month. Never had a speeding ticket or an at fault accident. 32 years old as of today.
 
Never had a speeding ticket
Do u know how to guarantee that you will never get one other than leaving the bike on display and NEVER riding it to Starbucks? And definitely other than obeying all traffic laws...

haha. Well, went for a 30 minute ride today after doing the break in oil change. Came home, parked the bike, started working on my R1. When I was done I started to do the bike shuffle to put the R1 back in its place. Well, I grab the streetfighter's clutch and attempt to roll the bike and it did not want to move. Felt like i was fighting rear brake drag. I'm assuming I'm getting the infamous clutch fade?

That’s how my Harley is, but it’s big and heavy and I am small and weak

yeah clutch fade renew all 3 systems with Motul RBF660 front brake, rear brake, clutch action

@ official Duc Service center it’s $188 for that job when I supply the fluid. I don’t like that job, but it seems to be a monthly job along w fresh supercorsas

Look at yer rear brake fluid reservoir, is it clear or smoked plastic? Is the fluid inside black? My rear brake fluid was black by 80 miles bc olive oil has a low smoke/burn threshold and that’s what Duc puts in the reservoirs at the factory
RBF660 or that fancy Brembo fluid will last ya longer than 80 miles

that should solve yer clutch drag deal

now, how to guarantee no tickets, maximum fun with limited risk:
Remove license plate & install block off
Download FLIGHT RADAR 24
Hardwire & mount Valentine1 Mk2
Use waze

if this was the R6 forum, the first step would be to buy a much more powerful bike, but since yer a R1 and Ducatisti, yer all set!

Lastly, on my PV4, I was able to test out DTC: 1 on a sandy parking lot. It did a great job keeping the power within the limits of traction and sounded pretty neat while doing it
