Motorcycle Insurance Must-Haves Before Hitting the Road This Spring 

Before riding your motorcycle this spring, it’s smart to review your motorcycle insurance and confirm it aligns with how and where you ride. This policy can help address common risks tied to traffic and changing weather that come with springtime travel.

Essential Motorcycle Coverages

Motorcycle insurance can include various types of coverage that address different risks. Our agents at High Rock Insurance Agency may recommend the following:

• Liability coverage may compensate for third-party injuries or property damage you cause to others in a covered accident.
• Collision coverage may pay to repair or replace your motorcycle after a crash.
• Comprehensive coverage may prevent financial loss following damage from a noncollision event, such as fire or theft.
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may help with medical expenses, lost wages and other related costs after an accident caused by a driver who lacks liability insurance.
• Accessory coverage may help pay for damage to added items like saddlebags, custom seats or upgraded exhaust systems that go beyond factory equipment.

Tips for a Safe Riding Season

As traffic increases in spring, staying alert and prepared matters. Perform a pre-ride check on tires, brakes, lights and fluid levels before heading out. Wear visible riding gear and a properly fitted helmet to help stay noticed on busy roads. Take turns cautiously, watch for debris left from winter weather, and ride at speeds suited for changing conditions. Defensive riding habits and refresher courses can also sharpen your skills after time away from a bike.
