For $200 a year for the first couple years, I see no reason why not. I figure odds are 20% you go down. Then after that, just insure it for a lower value as it depreciates. This is my first foray into the high end exotic carbon stuff. Anyone have opinions? Anyone insured theirs separately before?

I used to be with ING for home insurance and they had a similar policy when it came to bikes. I switched to TD Meloche Monnex because they cover the bikes. No deductibles. Most of the club switched to them.
