I run Shell 91, Canadian Tire 91, or Costco 91 in all my bikes. If I'm on the road, I'll burn through it quick, and I can't find ethanol free (as listed above) I'll run 87 unless the manual specifies better. In the states there are a lot of places where you can get 87 with or without ethanol...

Jaywalking laws? In Canada, you can't cross at a crosswalk disobeying the light, but it's not illegal to walk on the rest of the roadway (unlike the USA, where it is).

This is so wrong though. You CAN compare similar products, including accident benefits, and it WILL come out cheaper. Even if auto providers won't cover it, I could pay for private health insurance that covers all the stuff covered by accident benefits, plus the pennies for actual auto...

I always pay in one lump sum because of the service charge, and my premiums run in the thousands. I know the pain.

Seriously? I've had a power commander on a bike (not anymore, I didn't like the longer start time) and would never have bothered to tell insurance. Aftermarket intake and exhaust too. On a cruiser especially, it's all just cosmetic. To those being ridiculously honest: Would you tell them if you...

It's definitely no cheaper to insure a car, but it's probably more useful per dollar. Also, can we please stop defending it based on likelihood of crashing? That's clearly not the issue. You can get similar coverage (and I do mean similar; accident benefits and all) in the USA for 1/10th of the...

Hmm, y'know if they really wanted us to be safe, they'd be encouraging filtering to avoid rear-enders. But logic is not something to be applied to the OPP I guess.

Hah! Whaddya know, that's actually a fb convo, and he deleted the last 2 comments (obviously)

Looking to get a Concours 1000, as it's the only real sport tourer under 1000cc it seems (997). Prefer 1994 or newer. Hope I can find a match on here!

Somewhat this. As for what I think it should be, I think we should compare to similar markets, and especially compare young drivers to similar markets. Young drivers pay outrageously higher premiums than older drivers here, whereas in similar markets (in the USA) we're talking maybe 50% more...

Could refer to either. It all depends on what you like to do in life. It's expensive to live in the city if what you like to do is work on bikes in the garage. It's expensive to live outside the city if what you like to do is go to downtown events.

Sorry man, no sympathy. I live in Whitby, work downtown. I made that choice knowing what my commute looks like. Train happens to work for me. If it didn't I'd move closer to the city (or I would find a different job).

Those pistols are very likely fake or BB guns (note the lack of trigger discipline). Even still, what's wrong with them? I'd carry if I could. On topic: Cool lookin' bikes.

Speeding tickets from 1-49km/h over are all identical to insurance; they're minor tickets. OP: Do you have a car? Bundle it. Otherwise, John R Duffy insured me my first year with Facility, and it really wasn't all that bad ($3000/yr). They have an online quote tool too.

Can't blame it on inequal payments; ****** drivers pay even more dearly than good drivers. We're talking thousands more. I've seen quotes upwards of $8000 with 2 tickets and 1 accident. To the OP: Bundle with your car, and shop your whole policy (both vehicles, home/tenant if applicable) to...

If that bag of dirty diapers belongs to the daycare who haphazardly didn't tie up the bag, then yes, the rider should sue.

Actually, I've had this at-fault, and a not-at-fault (confirmed 0%) about 1 month prior. Can't not-at-faults be held against me at all? I was under the impression that it doesn't matter at all...

Yes, I've heard you'll only be rated for motorcycle accidents for your motorcycle insurance. That's what my broker said, at least

Sure, but in accordance with some standard of practice, right? I'd imagine there are straight up rules in place so you can't just have insurers dropping people for one accident.

Those riding GSXRs might, but I ride 15+ year old standards/sport tourings, except my Vulcan 900. They're mid-displacement standards, so they're insured as such, but the 'legend' of low insurance is for some reason tied to adventure bikes.
