NONE. You are trying to tell me that somehow making even say $60K a year, someone can manage to stash away $100K in a shoe box, NOT SPEND IT, and pull it out when the accident comes!?! And even if you COULD, its not happening that year, or the next, atleast. What happens if ya get into a wreck before the shoe box is full? Bill collections will start rolling in, I whitnessed it with my own wreck when the insurance co’s pissed in eachother cheerieos refusing to pay the bills. I would love to have the financial responsibility skills you do. Even lowsiding a bike, breaking an arm or leg, and taking a heli ride and your looking at well over $60K in bills. EASY. My wife is in the health care field, and I know plenty of first respondants. Everyone I know in those fields say a motorcycle MVA with injuries, a helicopter is dispatched the moment the call comes in. It takes alot NOT to have a heli come pick a rider up off the ground thats hurt! EDIT, but yah. if you are unemployed, and subsiquently uninsured… keep your ass off a bike until you get a job and coverage. But if you dont, thats your own stupidity. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/insurance-bill-for-a-4-day-stay-after-motorcycle-accident/265752)._
