- 2015 ROCKET ROADSTER
Had to share this with you guys. I owned a Harley before my Rocket. A drunk driver pulled in front of me and left me with one of two choices, die or lay the bike down. I chose life of course.
I've never had an accident (auto or motorcycle) so the call to a claim agent was my first go round. The normal 25 questions regarding the accident began of course and then this one;
"Does the motorcycle have seatbelts?" I thought this was said in jest and I replied "no" laughing, and then in a serious tone the agent asked "Does it have an airbag?" Realizing that I was dealing with someone clueless I said, " is there anyone there who's even SEEN a picture of a motorcycle before?"
Someone explained to me later that major insurance companies use sub-contracted claims agencies to handle this end of their business. Somehow I didn't find that reassuring news.
