    Value of motorcycle for insurance: sale vs regular price

    Great info and tips, thanks everyone! Yes, I was debating between "how much did I spend on the bike" vs "how much would it cost to buy another one if totalled," I guess, while also trying to keep payments down. I ended up going with the first approach.

    Value of motorcycle for insurance: sale vs regular price

    When an insurance company asks for the value of a motorcycle and you purchased it on sale, do you tell them the regular price or the sale price you paid? Thanks.

    Downtown bike parking “fun”

    Ouch... man, that is upsetting to see. Sorry that happened! Glad to see you're getting a new bike, though.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Wow, that is pretty messed up and difficult to watch. The guy is clearly backing away once he sees they are cops. Cop that pushes him comes off like an unhinged psycho. Completely unnecessary.

    Harley Davidson and the unions.

    Maybe I'm stating the obvious, as I'm a returning rider noob who's been completely out of the scene for 25 years, but I definitely see way more anti-Harley sentiment among the under-40 crowd than back in the day. Of course, social media didn't exist back then (or was new/less...

    2024 GTA Photo Tag!

    Well, not expecting "pristineness," but this was more than I've seen at any other provincial park, and I've been to a bunch both near and far from cities. Like, Corona bottlecaps everywhere in the dirt, food wrappers, stools and chairs thrown into the surrounding woods along with large plastic...

    2024 GTA Photo Tag!

    Hey, I just motocamped a night there last week, on the way back from a longer trip. Kind of sucked, overcrowded and site was crazy dirty from partiers, furniture thrown in forest around it even. Also some nearby truck reverse beeping half the night.

    Misguided aesthetics

    I think the colour is meant to match with the blue in the BMW logo.

    Can I ride in the US with an M1?

    Yes, I’ve done the M2 test + course, but have to wait 60 days until it’s valid.

    Wasps

    I had one in my full-face helmet a few weeks ago! I could feel something crawling, squishing around my beard, and I kept sticking my finger in to squish or push whatever it was out. Was also going through a complicated intersection so the timing was not great. I pulled over as soon as I could...

    Does the Garmin 396 just suck?

    Ok, I've spent a few weeks with the 396 and now I actually love it. :love: It definitely has its quirks, but overall it's become an essential part of my riding setup. Love its small size too, it fits perfectly on my SCL500. Love its build quality as well, it's a tough, rugged little bugger...

    Can I ride in the US with an M1?

    Yes! Great point, thank you. I'd thought of that, but it got sidelined in wondering about the M1 thing.
