What is a good beginner's motorcycle?
For me, personally, I want liability (even though my state requires it). As for whether I want collision (hit someone else), comprehensive (hit an animal, get keyed, break a windshield) or not, depends on how old my car is and how much it costs to fix it. If it was a 1982 Buick, I probably would only have liability. If it was a 2004 car, I'd probably get collision, or at least comprehensive, if it would cost money to fix.

I'm from Ohio and technically he's correct. In Ohio you need to show financial responsibility, most people do this by having insurance. In Ohio, you have the ability to post a $10,000 cash bond and not carry insurance. Now, if you in an accident and its more than $10000 and its your fault, stand by to get sued! But you can skip the insurance but who has 10 grand laying around that has to be held in a cash bond.
