That way, you could have money set aside in case of theft with the added flexibility of money accruing interest that could help you out in an emergency.
Well... that's the sort of figuring most should do when they get insurance.
A lot of bike folks don't get full converage because the cost of the premiums is more than their statistical chance of loss. ($2k/year for a $4k bike and they think they can go 2 years without totaling it)

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
