The warmer summer months are finally here and this is the best time to hit the open road on your motorcycle. It may also be the perfect time to buy the motorcycle of your dreams. However, before you hit the open road this season, it is important to have enough motorcycle insurance to cover any unexpected accidents or incidents. Motorcycling is dangerous and the amount of insurance you purchase should reflect these dangers. All riders should at least purchase the minimum amounts of insurance required by law in Colorado. However, safety experts encourage riders to purchase significantly more in the event they’re involved in a hit and run accident or an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist.
