Riding withouth health insurance? - Page 3

Sixxxxer · 01-20-2010, 05:28 PM

I have insurance...Havent ever Not had it while Riding...But I have discussed this with a few of my riding buddies who dont have health insurance...Its like your MC liscense...I rode without mine for about a year...Got fucked over on my own stupidity and got caught...and now I ride legally no matter what.

But as far as if I didnt have it...Yeah I'd probably still ride.

I rode for about a year without it, but it never occured to me at the time that it would matter.

Let's just say from my experience....broken femurs are expensive to fix and as of right now, HI has paid for all of it except my deductible.

Here in NH If the bike is insured for the rd ( and that is optional just like having insurance on a car is optional here) it covers injurys that result from a crash regardless of fault.

Nope

i have before, and would ride again without ins if i lost my coverage for some reason.

we also did a lot of dirt riding without ins. not the smartest thing to do but you take what life gives you. coverage at that time wasn't an option.

I haven't had health insurance for 5 years I think. I have it through my auto/mc insurance.

EpyonXero · 01-20-2010, 07:04 PM

Yes and yes.

Ive been riding for 9 years, and about 7 of them were without insurance. I finally have a good job with actual benefits so I have insurance now but from the time I was off my parents insurance until recently I didnt have any.

That's one of the reasons I stayed in, so I wouldn't have this question.

It never occurred to me really, the short time I was without I did alot of riding, but Im usually covered, and I think my MC insurance covers me as well. It wouldnt stop me, but I might be a bit more careful than typical for my granny riding self.

I haven't had health insurance for about 3 yrs now, doesn't stop me from riding.

If I wreck I'm telling the hospital my name is Hernesto.
