They'll ask to see your Drivers License when you apply.
If you lie to them And they find out, you can be sued for fraud. All insurers do periodic inquiries with state Governments to find out anyway.
If you lie to them and then if you have an accident, you'll be sued by them for insurance claim fraud and they will not pay for your loss and you won't be refunded and the state will sue you for falsifying vehicle registration information concerning required insurance.
On the lighter side.... How about that great Southern California cycling weather!
Coleman Powersports is the name of the place. They didn't verify anything. I paid, signed, called up Progressive on my cell phone while waiting for the paperwork, and was told over the phone that my new policy was effective immediately. No need to wait for a policy or card to be mailed to me. I've bought 8-10 motorcycles and two scooters over the past 17 years. Here in Virginia, insurance and drivers' licensing is a personal responsibility only. They are not the responsibility of the dealership. Besides, a few people never operate the vehicles they purchase. They are gifts for family members (Honey, take note ;-)), collector's items, or purchased in advance of taking a safety/riding course. The dealers here won't let you ride the bike (not even a test ride) until you have taken ownership. Once it's yours, they should be off the hook legally. If you ride home and hit someone, the liability for the accident is yours, not your dealer's.ajwood said:daveman,

Get your motorcycle endorsement from the dmv asap ... not only is that for the obvious reason of legality, and then for insurance purposes (they are not likely to insure you if you have no motorcycle endorsement), but there are also liability issues ... many reasons why you should get one asap...richardhdz said:I do have a driver licence, but automobile one :shock:, now the question that arise is. will insurance company take that one (here in Cal) or should I run to the DMV and get my motorcycle one?
Plenty of them don't. I suppose it might depend on how it is financed as well. When I bought a little Stella Scooter several months ago I was never asked for ID. I did the financing through my own bank, took a cashiers check to the dealer and was never asked for any identification or insurance.ajwood said:daveman,
