I've adjusted the Ducati coverage to get it down to the low 700s. I need to shop around on my auto and see if that rate is typical. If it is, my car ain't gonna last long.
Progressive auto is $615/year for the same coverage, including a marginal first purchase discount. Guess Flo is gettin' my cash.
Correction: $674/year
Progressive motorcycle renewal came in at $686 (down $26 from previous) so I decided to look around.
I managed to get similar coverage with same or lower deductibles (even lower than Progressive's vanishing deductible) for $563 from Geico. Geico also has an interesting "Winter Storage" feature that allows you to disable all but Comprehensive over the winter. You can't ride the motorcycle during this period, but the savings are significant. I went ahead and enabled it until 4/1 so I'll end up saving well over $100.

"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
