So why do they care about when my court date is? Was that just a sly way of asking if I'm going to fight it? Even then, why do they care, they'll just drop me/rate me if I got a conviction.

I was charged with careless a couple months ago during an accident. Setting aside what happened and what was deserved, my question is strictly about legal/policy. My broker said my insurer asked if I've received a court date yet. Being that it was only a couple months ago, I have not, but of...

I'd buy a non-runner without much concern; I love garage time. I guess one thing is KLRs tend not to sit, and as long as they're used they tend to never die. My experience is that the 'floor' is around $1200, usually negotiable down to $1000 or slightly less. That doesn't really match up with...

I love riding all sorts of different bikes, and the reason I can do that is because I buy fixer-uppers and, well, fix them up. Left-in-the-barn stuff, or stopped-riding-after-college stuff. Why is it that adventure bikes never get below the $1500 mark or so on listings, even running like crap...

Z1 enterprises is good for kawi parts. They usually have drawings for seals

Figured it out. The ports were *just* big enough.

Yep. Welcome to Onterrible.

I'm trying to sync the carbs on my '99 katana, but the tubes on my manometer are too big to fit on the vacuum ports. Are there adapters for this or something? I've done the carbs on my 80s bikes and they're all typical 3/16"-ish

Take the M2 exit course. That's my advice. You can always use a brush up on the basics, and it's difficult to fail after a morning riding with the instructor; they've gotten to know you.

For old OEM stuff, sometimes the dealer doesn't have it. Z1 Enterprises is great for Kawi stuff, cmsnl is essentially the same price as dealerships, but they'll have NOS stuff like you wouldn't believe.

I've seen Forks by Frank, but I'm not sure what I'd be looking at cost wise; I've gotten a quote for $100/tube from a place in London (a company called 'the straightening king', I'd make the drive if I couldn't get a better deal than $200/tube more locally). These forks are entirely...

No kink. If I didn't know performance would likely suffer (not to mention heavy braking might not be good...), I'd ride it like this. In fact, I'll probably take it for a spin as-is too once I've got the fuel system and fairings sorted. I've heard of Bent Bikes, never been. Sounds like I'll...

Just bought a '99 GSX750F Katana with bent forks. I've been looking for a set of good used forks or inner tubes, but coming up dry. Anyone know of any options for straightening in Southern Ontario, or which other models might be compatible? On a related note, it seems there are some places that...

Could be that I don't have collision/comprehensive on the KZ, since its not worth much anyway

I'm with wawanesa (so is my car...maybe that's something relevant?). I've never needed to get an appraisal...06 Vulcan 900, and 84 KZ 750.

Yeah, I definitely understand continuous changes are rather not very workable with the current system. Glad to hear a couple/few times a year isn't a huge problem though. I wonder though, does a change in vehicles constitute an opportunity to re-rate or apply surcharges based on claims or...

Hey, awesome to hear from an actual broker. How often is too often? I mean, in theory, the paperwork can be done in 10 minutes once a day...changing bikes on a whim, but we all know it doesn't work that way.

Well, strictly speaking, if the 1000's VIN wasn't listed on your policy, you were riding illegally (not that we haven't all done it, working on a project bike). I know it's easy enough to switch vehicles, it's just a matter of if insurance cos don't like it. A couple years ago I think the idea...

Why are your rates just going up now, when you got tickets and accident in 2013/2011?

I think a similar topic has been discussed before here, but I just wanted to throw this out there. I have 2 bikes that I like to ride, but there's no reason to have them both on the road at the same time -- I'll usually go for 2+ months on one or the other, while I do some work on the one I'm...
