But coming up with an itinerary isn’t all you should do before hitting the road.

* Comprehensive and collision coverage. Collision insurance typically covers damages to your motorcycle that result from a collision with another object, which could include another car or motorcycle, a tree or a building. Comprehensive insurance usually covers your bike if it’s damaged by flooding, wind, vandalism, theft or some other reason that doesn’t involve a crash with another vehicle.
* Personal injury protection can help with reimbursements for medical and hospital expenses, lost income, services you would normally do yourself, funeral expenses and child care expenses. You’re typically covered regardless of who was at fault, but personal injury protection is only available in certain states.
* If an accident isn’t your fault, you don’t want to pay for the other driver’s mistake. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury insurance typically covers damages that result from the injury or death of you or a passenger on your motorcycle caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver.
While you’re shopping around, be sure to take the time to check out some motorcycle safety tips offered by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. They’re pretty simple, but good reminders that could one day save your life.
