Gotta ask - what is this software that the vendor hasn't planned for an inevitable Win 11 migration? Especially if it's holding your entire company hostage. Maybe start testing on WINE.

Absolutely. That's why I usually ride something you don't see every day. That way not too many people are affecting my rate, and even if they make a claim, it's still a drop in the bucket compared to popular models.

Wow, another case of a customer leaving the dealership happy...

You missed Ted that much???

I never understood why body on frame is a better design for trucks than unibody. Is just because of costs, since a unibody could be made to handle the same towing capacity and given suspension to offset the need for the body/frame to flex on gnarly uneven surfaces?

When I bought my 2015 Hyperstrada I was also looking at Hypermotards and the 'Strada was cheaper to insure even though it was just a Hypermotard with luggage. But because it didn't share the name and was sold in smaller numbers with fewer people buying and making claims on them, the policy cost...

Claims history seems to be a major factor, making squid-popular bikes more expensive and rarer bikes less. That's why I don't like riding what other...

Look up actuarial science, and you'll realize there's both a rhyme and a reason for the rates they come up with. Just because it makes no sense to most people doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.

Awesome. It's not like there's any science behind why midnight is midnight, so let's make it 1AM just for fun. At least DST was supposed to be temporary...

LMAO. Weekend forecast +14 after a brutal Toronto winter, and all we can do is complain? Grit and salt I can sort of understand, but potholes??? What's next, it's too hot? December is only 9 months away...

I'm not saying it's legit, but there's a trend in online shops to not publish anything other than a contact form - no physical address, phone number, or even email. Even well-established places like Expedia and Amazon make it almost impossible to contact them for issues unless you know how to...

It's on the list, so it should.
