I don't see what motorcycles have to do with your car insurance.... If I wipe out on my bike, chances are I'll be the one scraped off the asphalt -- not the kids in a mini-van. In WA state there is not even a liability insurance requirement for that matter. You can hardly do any damage on a bike. Usually the biker and his machine take the hit.

I was an eye-witness to a fatal crash a few years ago. A Yamaha 750 ride was showing off, momentarily lost control and crashed head on into a car at about 80mph. The car was doing about 20.

The rider flew over the car, suffered multiple fractures, but survived. The car driver (father) was killed instantly. The front seat passenger (mother) was seriously injured and almost died. The two teenage kids in the back had slight to serious injuries.

A month later the daughter committed suicide due to the trauma.

Damn! That must have been some crash.... I believe you, but I still think that cars are more dangerous than motorcycles as far as inflicting damage... insurance companies are nazis!

Once you get to know me and understand me...of course. In the company of mature people having a mature discussion. Also consider the "they" that was speaking of me.

BTW, I misquoted in my last post...I labeled both the first two posts as belonging to upnygimp, when in fact the second one was yours. My apologies.

That is absolutely true...but the chance for large medical bills (because the rider on a bike is more vulnerable than the driver of a car) is higher for even small motorcylce accidents. It's just a much larger risk all around. But what you said right there is definetly true...especially considering the percentage of SUVs and Light Trucks on the road these days.
