    American Vs Canadian insurance

    I had a 'full coverage' policy in AK, from a large, national insurance company, with max liability level that was available/offered in that state - I think in was 500k - for a BMW R1200 - it was less than 300 USD annually. I agree that ON rates are silly.

    Looking for a 2017 Triumph Street Scrambler owner

    Even though my last bike purchase was supposed to be my 'last' bike, I am considering a change. I looked at the new Street Scrambler at the dealer, sat on it, but they don't have one as a demo. I rode a Bonneville demo instead and liked it, but still would like to talk to an owner of a Scrambler...

    Spoked vs Cast wheels

    You are giving me some hope :-) I have had BMW GSA for a number of years now, with spoked wheels and tubeless tires, and casually assumed that everyone does this now.

    Insurance recommendation for vintage bikes.

    My vintage BMW has been with Dalton Timmins on a vintage policy (less than 5000 kms per year I think) for about $300 a year. I had it previously with TD on regular policy for more than twice that premium.

No...

    rotella oil

    BTW - I just did some oil shopping in Meijer in Michigan - Mobil 1 5W20 or 5w30 4.83l jugs were $26.99, Valvoline Synthetic 4.83l jugs $25.99 (+6% MI sales tax). Rotella T6 was $21.39 per 3.78l jug - so they all cost almost exactly the same per liter. Either the synthetic oils are cheaper than...

    rotella oil

    Most Walmarts on the US side of the border have T6 in stock for about $20 per 4l jug - I usually pick them up in Michigan when I happen to be there. I used to have problems finding it in Toronto until recently - but now Canadian Tire seems to stock it more consistently. It is predominantly...
