    Ripped Licence Plate Sticker

    HUH?,people steal the sticker all the time(ask the OP)I've had mine ripped off twice.This is why sticker on the ownership also validates the plate.The police run your plate 100% of the time as the sticker is impossible to see from a distance and it could be stolen.The one time they did see it...

    Ripped Licence Plate Sticker

    +1The stick really means nothing.When I got caught on my way to the MOT in my summer car the police told me that they run the plate to see if its registered not the sticker.The sticker on the ownership the ownership counts more.

    Getting over that traffic speed hurtle, newbs share your stories

    I'm sure she gets the concept but........ I have taught many people how to ride and have found that the ones who drag their *** in traffic have had a past terrifying experience in a mild sweep as they have not learned how to push steer the bike.They fear crossing the line and oncoming...

    I'm figuring out now the guys that got cheaper rates (if you consider $150 increase cheaper) live out in the county.Windsor is just getting screwed worse.I would suggest that anyone who cancels due to rate increase send a not so nice kiss my A** email,we are.I also can't see how they are...

    Insurance Continuity

    If you go six months uninsured the standard is that you are classed as a new driver.The government is in bed with the industry without a doubt.

    Insurance Continuity

    I sold my truck in early August by September my insurance company had called to say I had better get something or I would face and increase for having a gap.The rational is that you lf your not insured your not driving and if your not driving you lose your skill.Bikes are different as they are...

    Wow my insurance just went up 31% for a minor

    Whats even crazier is that my broker gave me the heads up that her other customers were getting good rates at TD.It makes me sad to have to move when I had such a good broker looking after me.

    Motorcycle insurance help

    INTACT Just tried to screw me on renewal with a no point minor $875 to $1149.In talking to TD they said your past record does play a role(at least with them)in the price increase when you have current convictions.They were looking at my entire record and noted that my record has been clean over...

    Speeding Ticket (10 over)

    Just got off the phone with TD,They said 1 minor is no big deal and would not effect my rate.They do see you entire record and it does play a role on how they nail you on current convictions,he knew I had the ticket and that I had been clean for long time before i got it.He was also testing me...

    So what brands that overwrite can be put on a bike and are weather proof.Adding a power point is pretty easy.Im looking at capturing bad situations rather then filming for fun and would really only be checking it if something happens or just to make sure it's still working.It would also be...
