We are starting our trip in Alaska the 21st of August, and regarding the insurance we are going for the Seguro Gringo option just as Victay posted a couple of weeks back. Actually, this first page of what he posted states that it's only for Mexican residents, but the second paper is additional for people not living in Mexico, and it states a change of the policy so that it's valid for the specified foreign bike and driver.

We're shipping with Motofreight, and they have been in contact with Seguro Gringo directly; over email they confirmed that they can provide 3rd party liability insurance on European bikes. I was also informed that a group of bikers entered the US in New York with this policy recently.

There are also some stories about Progressive policies being used, but I guess it depends a lot on the agent. Apparently, there have been issued some insurances with using a 'friends' address in the state where the trip starts. I have written to all Progressive agents in Anchorage but uptill now only got replies that this Progressive program is not applicable for foreign bikes.

I've been in touch with Fernet as well, they are working on some new program similar to the previous Dairyland one, but they have had no luck getting it up and running until now. Guess I would have preferred this, as the Seguro Gringo policy might be somewhat vague and open to interpretation, but it seems to be the only option thus far.
