President and Founder of BikerDown

Fall is just around the corner and like most of you, we are watching our brothers and sisters in Florida endure Hurricane Ian pound the shores of the western part of the state. We have stayed in contact with our members and sponsors and I am happy to report most of them evacuated or went more inland. I know you join me in praying for all of those that are in its path.

Our riding community has continued to be injured at the hands of distracted drivers, drivers running stop lights or signs and fleeing the scene, leaving that injured rider left for dead.

BikerDown is doing all that we can on a national level to continue to help injured riders as best that we can. I continue to be amazed how many of you refer friends/family to us for assistance.

We have had a tough year, and not all injured riders can receive funds, but what we do is walk them thru the accident, getting them assistance sooner than later and going over their finances trying to find a way to keep them going for the next 60 days.

We provide them groceries, motorcycle urns, medical equipment and pay what household bills we can. Riders always say THEY JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HOW BAD IT COULD BE or that they thought full-coverage meant they were covered.

Please consider getting an FREE insurance review today from 1 of our motorcycle law firms. That is the person that you need to tell you what you don't have or what you need in the event of an accident.

Ride SAFE out there and remember If you go DOWN, We STEP UP!

Emergency Assistance Plus

One of the highest costs a injured motorcycle rider faces that usually isn't covered even if you have health insurance is being life flighted to hospital or if you were injured out of town and need to get home to recover.  Even a policy that will get family members to you in the event of a accident or health emergency.

BikerDown would like riders to check out Emergency Assistance Plus for $209 per year family, and 179 for an idividual plan - It helps you handle almost any crisis while you're away from home (even short trips) Here are some examples:

• Evacuate you to a more appropriate hospital if your current hospital cannot treat your condition;
• Air travel home for you and family; no last minute re-booking expense
• A trained nurse to accompany you on your return home if medically necessary.
• An international network that can get you home safely; and
• Vehicle return if you can't drive your vehicle back home because your medical condition prohibits it

Consider JOINING BikerDown's Membership

Motorcycle accidents are at epidemic levels with accidents up in some states 35% from 2020 with still a lot of riding left in 2021. Riders are finding out too late just how underinsured they are on their bikes. They are also learning just how under or UN-INSURED the drivers are who are hitting them. Riders need memberships and services that can truly help them in their time of need the most ... their recovery.

Our BikerDown Roadside Plus membership for $35.00 per month offers motorcycle riders real value, but over the years, riders just couldn't wrap their arms around giving BikerDown $35 per month. Well, the truth is that you aren't giving BD 35.00 We are going to break down what you get with this membership and what it actually costs us to pay for those services.

• Aflac Accident Essentials Policy - BD Cost $27.69 This is an accident policy that is inclusive in our membership and provides riders cash benefits, paid directly to YOU based on the services you receive at the hospital. Here are some examples of what you will get.

1200 admittance into the hospital for overnight stay

300-400 per day in ICU

150-200 per day in a regular hospital room

100-150 per day in a rehab facility

• Aflac Accident Death Benefit - Included in the above policy - 35k accident benefit paid to the family members that you designate. In some states that benefit will be 25k
• Nationwide Motorcycle Roadside Assistance - BD Cost $2.00 You get 2 tows per year ($150 each) While many riders will say I already have roadside assistance, having our policy gives you a certified motorcycle tower who if you need to be towed over $150 dollars will work with you to stack your bike roadside, BD roadside to get you safely off the road. Many ride in rural areas where to get your bike home will cost you well over 200 dollars.

The total that BikerDown pays is 29.69 with a balance of $5.31 going into our national accident fund to enable us to help injured riders. To sign up for this membership program please click here
