Summer weather is finally here and many of us have pulled our motorcycles out of the garage. Before we hit the ground running this season, there are a few housekeeping items like checking the fluids, cleaning off any dust/debris, and making sure you have the proper insurance coverage.

What does motorcycle insurance cover?

Just as you have options when insuring your car, you also have options to ensure your motorcycle even though it’s a seasonal vehicle. Accidents can happen at any moment and your insurance will help cover costs from collision damage, medical payments, theft, and more!

What are some of the basic coverages you should have?

Bodily Injury Property Damage Liability

Bodily Injury Liability coverage pays for damage caused to another vehicle, property, and injuries to other drivers and their passengers. In the event you’re sued, this also helps pay for the legal expenses.

Comprehensive & Collision

This coverage will help pay to repair or replace your motorcycle if someone steals it, or it’s damaged from weather, falling objects, etc. You’ll choose your deductible (the amount you pay out of pocket) before your insurance company picks up the rest of the cost.

Personal Injury Protection

There is very limited medical coverage on motorcycle policies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists

This coverage helps protect you if someone who doesn’t have insurance coverage hits you. They may pay out of pocket for damages caused, but if they can’t, your insurance coverage kicks in and helps cover the cost.

What do I do with my motorcycle insurance when I put it in storage after the summer season?

You don’t want to completely take insurance coverage off your motorcycle when you store it after the summer season ends. What if a tree falls on your garage and damages your bike? You want to make sure you’re covered for the unexpected. As a result, talk to your Compass insurance agent about comprehensive coverage for your motorcycle garaging. This way, you are protected against theft, fire, or weather damage but don’t have to worry about full coverage since it’s not on the road.
