motorcycle Permit Help? (California)?

Hi, I have a motorcycle permit in california and one of the restrictions is to not drive on the freeways. But does that include highways as well? I know that freeways don’t have intersections on them, but highways do. I need to make a trip to Lake Tahoe from Wheatland, Ca and I mapquested a route there checking the *avoid highways* box, but it says I have to go on US-50 E. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Wheatland&1s=CA&1a=3466+Hokan+Ln&1z=95692-9209&1y=US&1l=39.05616&1g=-121.32904&1v=ADDRESS&2c=South+Lake+Tahoe&2s=CA&2a=3730+Lake+Tahoe+Blvd&2z=96150-8904&2y=US&2l=38.94986&2g=-119.95454&2v=ADDRESS&aoh=1 So am I allowed to take this route?

Check the LAW: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=veh&group=00001-01000&file=100-680 — Definitions:

332. “Freeway” is a highway in respect to which the owners of abutting lands have no right or easement of access to or from their abutting lands or in respect to which such owners have only limited or restricted right or easement of access.
——

A freeway is a “Limited-access highway”. There is no difference to city or rural — if there are limited access only by on/off ramps they are freeways. Mapquest or maps.google use “avoid highways” to mean “avoid limited-access highway.” Entrance to the freeway is a green rectangle “Freeway Entrance” sign that says you may not ride with your motorcycle permit. You can see these signs on street view in Google.

Your trip on Mapquest has you on the El Dorado Freeway. Google Maps will give you the streets that will be legal.

IF you care. The cops can not see if you are legal or not until they get pulled over. Since 1964 I have never have been pulled over by a cop.

Motorcycle Insurance Brokers

holiday insurance broker gave incorrect info and now insurance company wont pay out.?

When taking out holiday insurance i used the same company i have always used but this time we were taking a motorcycle holiday so i specifically asked the broker if we were covered for touring around europe on our motorcycles or if i needed to take extra cover as this isn’t an everyday joe bloggs holiday. I was placed on hold and the member of staff came back and told me i didn’t need to and asked no further details.
My partner was killed in a motorcycle accident whilst on holiday in france. the insurance company repatriated his body home but have now told me they wont pay any death benefit because the bike was over 125cc. they paid for him to come home “ex-gratia”.
But I was led to believe i was covered by the broker who obviously went and asked someone whether it be the insurance company or a collegue. Do I have a case? Whats my next move? who do i go to the insurace company or the broker? I would appreciate any info Thanks in advance

Please accept my sympathy. Most brokers must take out E&O insurance (errors and ommission). If your attorney sues the broker the claim will most likely be paid by the brokers insurance. Its worth a shot.

Cheap Motorcycle Insurance In Michigan

June 29th, 2011 admin No comments


Questions about motorcycle insurance?

I am planning on buying a 150cc scooter in the Spring. In Michigan, my home state, these are considered motorcycles. Also, in Michigan, they must be insured. My questions are:

(1) If I am only riding my scooter for three months out of the year, will I still have to pay for insurance during the fall and winter?

(2) What is the cheapest motorcycle insurance out there, and typically, how much would I be paying per month? I am a new cycle rider, but have driven a car for 5 years without an accident.

1) Only insure the bike when you’re using it. De-register it during the fall and winter and remove the insurance coverage. Park it in your garage for safe keeping

2) I’m not sure of the cheapest insurance in your state. See if anyone in your area offers Foremost Insurance. It’s a company owned by Farmers. From the prices I’ve seen average ANNUAL premium is around $50. No sense in paying monthly if it’s only $50 bucks a year

Motorcycle Body Armor Reviews

What’s some good, not super expensive, motorcycle body armor?

I’ve found relatively cheap vests that haven’t gotten the greatest reviews, I’ve found the top-of-the-line Dainese gear, and I’ve found motocross/quad armor that looks cool and is the right price, but I don’t know if it’s rated for highway-speed crashes on pavement.

I’m completely new to the sport bike scene and I don’t know if the cheap stuff is good enough, or if I should take the route of “It’s my health, I should spend as much money as I can to get the best protection possible.”

Thanks in advance.

You get what you pay for. I like 500 denier cordura/gore-tex armored touring gear (which happens to be locally made). I don’t ride sport though, where fashion seems more important that safety ;)

Can I jump a motorcycle with a car?

I left the lgihts on and killed the battery in my motorcycle, can I hook up jumper cables to a car to jump the battery or do I need another motorcycle battery?

Yes, no problem. You’ll have to be careful with the positive clamp at the bike end: There’s not a lot of room to clamp it to the battery, and you don’t want it to short to ground! The last connection you make, and the first one to disconnect, should be the ground at the bike end,which you should connect to the frame or a footpeg, NOT to the battery.
