BANKSHOT by Bill Banks

The vast majority of us are riding with what’s called an “actual cash value” policy (ACV). If our motorcycle is totaled, we will get the actual cash value of that motorcycle. If you, as many of us do, see your motorcycle as something that you have a personal investment in and you want to protect that investment, then you need to make sure that you purchase more than just an ACV policy. Otherwise, your investment is at mercy of the free market, and the free market will almost always determine that your motorcycle is worth less than what you think it is.
