NEW INSURANCE PROGRAM
AVAILABLE FOR OHV CLUBS AND PARKS
A positive turn for one of the toughest
obstacles that off-highway vehicle
recreationists currently face
Motorized off-road recreation is enjoyed by a
large segment of the population, with
approximately 15 million off-highway vehicle (OHV)
riders currently in the US. With the increasing
popularity of OHV recreation, the many
challenges of insuring OHV clubs and parks have
appeared.
Insurance coverage, particularly liability
insurance, has been tough to obtain for OHV
recreation," says Jeff Magowan, of
Garceau,Wenick-Kutz, Magowan Insurance Agency in
Escanaba, Michigan. Magowan, an avid off-highway
motorcyclist, has been involved in insuring OHV
clubs and parks for many years. Because of his
passion and involvement in the sport, he
understands the unique requirements of this
specialized coverage.
Unfortunately, insurance coverage has only
been available sporadically, leaving many clubs
and parks either without coverage, or paying
exorbitant premiums. Increasing the availability
of insurance coverage for off-highway recreation
was a natural for Magowan.
Recently, working with an "A-Rated" insurance
carrier, he has developed a competitive
insurance option for off-highway organizations,
businesses, and trail systems. "Putting all the
pieces together has been a five year project,"
says Magowan. "We've put several risks in the
program, and have found the coverage and pricing
to be very competitive.
According to Jeff, his affiliation with the
National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation
Council helped in the development of his most
recent OHV insurance program. Because the
participants in NOHVCC programs represent the
"best in the business" of OHV recreation, the
program is being released initially through the
NOHVCC, before being introduced to the general
public.
As laws vary from state to state, the insurance
coverage may not be available in all states. For
more information, contact Jeff Magowan at

Jeff Magowan of Escanaba, Michigan was
recently appointed as the NOHVCC Associate State
Representative from the Wolverine State.
