Can I apply if insurance paid part of the loss?

You may still apply and explain the remaining need. The board may consider insurance proceeds and other available resources during review.

Does the grant pay for any motorcycle I choose?

No specific motorcycle or award is guaranteed. Requests are evaluated around practical transportation needs, cost, and available charitable funds.
