Ok riders
My renewal is up and I got a nice letter from M&W stating Echelon has dropped them. Then an even nicer email quote +$1092 (with intact) more then I was paying previously. I called in and asked if this was a serious ligitmate quote. Yes best they could do. Ya not going to happen.

Yes a bunch of strikes against me. I have been riding with just liability only to keep things affordable. Have been paying $1749 with Echelon.
I've called around Streetrider (Young insurance) and Riders Plus both still work with Echelon and can match my previous rate...whew..
I tried dejardans, but that felt like I was being data scraped with all the questions just to get a quote. Finally just hung up on them, might try again.
Now what is interesting I called TD and they gave me a pretty good quote of $1966 full coverage. I have my home with them, so I saved $90 on this combo. Now what is even funnier the agent said they don't like motorcycles and I should be able to get a better rate someplace else. I found it strange as this rate was pretty good.
Still calling around. The thing about Echelon being bought out by CAA worries me a bit, if they decide to stop working with all brokers and this is just a in between moment for them until they get around to it with the rest of the brokers. With TD you know they are not going anyplace.
