Here's one for you. I have been planning on taking a bike trip with my brother from Vermont to Nova Scotia for several years now. The trip is coming together but as the date gets closer the fellow who offered me the use of his BMW R100RT for the trip is getting a little concerned about insurance. What we figured out was that he has to insure the bike, as the insurance goes with the bike. In other words, I can't buy insurance for his bike because it isn't mine. Trouble is, he feels his bike is worth a whole lot more than blue book and his insurance company won't insure it for more than that. Anyone know of a way around this? I could just let him hold the nine thousand dollars he thinks its worth and retrieve it when I finished the trip with the bike in one piece. Problem with that is that unlike insurance where you only pay a portion of the total I would be paying the full amount for any damage. He's a decent enough fellow, he's just starting to have some concerns as the trip gets closer. This is probably a hint that I should be looking elsewhere for my ride. I'd use my bike but it's a long ways from my place in Washington to Vermont and I don't want to spend my whole vacation just getting to my brothers place.
