Spring Riding Season: Is Your Motorcycle Insurance Ready?  

Without adequate motorcycle insurance, a single accident can result in substantial out-of-pocket costs, including medical expenses, property damage claims and legal liability. Spring is an appropriate time to review your policy and confirm that the coverage reflects your current circumstances.

What Can Change Between Riding Seasons

Consider these common situations that may affect your coverage needs:

• You moved to a new address or changed where you store your bike.
• You purchased a new motorcycle or added accessories and custom parts.
• Your household added a new rider.
• Your current policy lapsed or is approaching renewal.
• State-required minimums changed, or your lender updated coverage requirements.

If any of these apply to you, now is the time to review your policy before you ride, not after an incident.

What to Review Before You Ride

A seasonal insurance review takes little time and can reveal meaningful gaps. Consider checking if your policy includes:

• Liability coverage may cover costs if you’re found responsible for injuring someone else or damaging their property in an accident. Make sure your coverage limits reflect your actual risk exposure, as some riders carry only the state-required minimums.
• Collision and comprehensive coverage may cover damage to your own bike from accidents, theft or weather events, though coverage can vary by policy.
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may financially protect you if the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance.

It’s also worth checking if you need coverage for accessories, custom parts or riding gear, as these items are not always included by default.
