I could say something about their motorcycle insurance department. The name escapes me at the moment. They don't tell you they're a Geico subsidiary. They say they'll save lots of money, insure good riders, etc. etc. Well, I've tried them a couple of times, and they want nothing to do with me. Granted, I ride a Katana, and not a 2-wheeled luxo-cruiser, but these people are clueless. My record is spotless. I've never even had a bike of mine tip over. The last call went something like: Geico: "What is the make and model of the motorcycle?" Me: "It's a Suzuki GSX600F." (Computer keyboard clicking in the background) Geico: "Oooo, that looks like one of those HIGH PERFORMANCE motorcycles." Me: "Well, yeah, I suppose you could call it that." (Performance is relative, eh? :) Geico: "We don't insure those types of bikes." No mention of my driving record or accident history. Just blacklist the bike. Idiots. -- jimb@access.digex.net | Capt.
