G. M. White asked:

Texas drivers who have abandoned cars in order to save money on gas by riding a motorcycle need to understand the requirements and options available to them in the form of motorcycle insurance policies and coverage. Liability insurance is mandated by Texas, and motorcycle liability coverage is the same as that for an automobile: 25/50/25. It is wise to invest beyond the bare minimum of liability insurance, however, when seeking to indemnify your new motorcycle.

You should work with a licensed agent to assess what is called your asset exposure. This helps calculate the potential loss you could incur if you are ruled at fault for an accident and do not have the right type of coverage in your motorcycle insurance policy to protect you against that loss. Most motorcycle insurance carriers prefer the insured carry guest liability insurance in order to cover more than just themselves. This is because a passenger on the bike has the same rights to claim injury as someone struck by the bike should the cyclist be ruled at fault. Also, even if you are not ruled at fault, and a friend or loved one is injured in an accident, would you not want to cover the expenses of their medical bills should they be seriously hurt even if it is technically no fault of your own?

Of course you would.

Such additional liability and medical coverage options can be added to a motorcycle policy, but they need to be added under the careful scrutiny and advisement of an honest, ethical agent who can calculate the reasonable amount of risk and offer the best level of coverage for the price you can afford. Generic motorcycle insurance policies promising the lowest possible rates often fail to personalize the policy to this level, leaving the insured in a lurch if something serious happens that was not anticipated at the time of policy issuance.

If you already have a Texas motorcycle insurance policy, it is very important to see if your group insurance policy or your personal comprehensive major medical policy covers injuries sustained in an motorcycle accident. Texas Auto Home Insurance wants motorcycle owners to have valuable insight into how premiums can be reduced on their motorcycle insurance.

The first step in this process is to establish the exact coverage necessary. In addition to liability and guest liability, your policy covers against physical damage. This coverage is the most expensive part of your motorcycle policy because it covers the cost of repairing or replacing your bike in case of collision or other physical damage to the bike other than collision. The motorcycle owner must assess the replacement cost of the motorcycle and determine if it is necessary to include collision coverage and or comprehensive coverage. In many cases, we find that these coverage options have make the premium unaffordable because the actual value of the motorcycle is less than the premium cost reflects.

Discuss this and other coverage options with your agent at Texas Auto Home Insurance. Make certain that you are paying the correct premium for the required coverage. We will also evaluate the proper rating for the usage of your motorcycle.

If you are new to motorcycle driving, safety will be your first priority in making any decision. Texas Auto Home Insurance strongly recommends that all bikers take a motorcycle driving training course. There are a host of motorcycle training schools in Texas. While we officially endorse no particular agency here at Texas Auto Home Insurance, we do point out that one of the oldest facilities that offers such training is the Motorcycle Safety Foundation that has served all of Texas since 1974. This organization has graduated more than 4,000,000 students since 1974 and has centers all over the state. The training course normally lasts for two days and is conducted by qualified instructors. Texas Auto Home Insurance is sincerely interested in motorcycle safety and seeks every possible discount for clients who make their personal well-being a priority. Remember the Motorcycle Safety Courses will afford you massive discounts on your premium as well as prepare you for years of safe driving.
