Crucial Insurance Info for All Motorcyclists

Anthony Gianetti, Vince's son, is a Pennsylvania attorney with Swarts, Culleton & Ferris, on a mission to educate motorcyclists about the importance of proper insurance coverage for due to the inherently higher chance of injury.  He was our guest speaker at a recent meeting.

The main points are buying a high level of Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage, and then choosing STACKING on all of your policies for BOTH motorcycles AND autos, as they can multiply each other (even when on different policies).  View or print his Handout HERE where he mentions specific companies, in their experience, who are easier or harder to deal with.  Full torte automatically applies to all motorcycle policies, therefore is not an additional choice or cost.  Please share copies of this handout with friends.

ChampU is a complete video-based, online digital curriculum that mirrors the 2-Day ChampSchool and shares the same goal: make you an awesome motorcycle rider. The in-person 2-Day ChampSchool is a ton of fun, but it’s expensive ($3,000) and only available at a limited number of locations.
