Well, collision is $32 on my bike, and I have the accident forgiveness endorsement. Comp is also like $30. I figure it this way....$60 will get me a few grand in the event of a write off, and I can use that as a down payment n a new bike. The cost-benefit is there for me.

so ive got a mean rattle in my windshield and i need to try and fix it. problem is i cant figure out how to get off the front v shaped cowl. i have the haynes manual but it doesnt help. i dont understand the clips holding it on. how do i pull or pry this off? pull up? out? jimmy with a butter...

Lol, yup. Dominion actually had my bike on their restricted list and wouldn't quote. I also quoted an fz1 and it jumped to $1500...... Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

$600, with 1m TPL, $1000 Collision / $1,000 Comp with TD Haven't ridden in 18 years. Full GM license since 16, but no bike insurance for 18 years. 1 Ticket. Considering I'm getting 50 MPG the gas savings will pay for the insurance over the course of the season. I'm so happy to get back into...

I think I was being a big wuss bag. Test rode it and looked everything over. Looks perfect, feels perfect.....and I think it was loose before. I think I have less lag in response now, but that might be in my head. So all is good, and I'll use some of the tips here in the future for sure. Sent...

Bought a set of these from Royal Distributing for $119. They fit my B6 perfectly with the straps under the seat and around the passenger peg mounts and signal stems. I'm really happy with them....they have good capacity and built in rain covers. So far I would highly recommend these. Sent from...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm going to look at it more.....test ride.....look at it again, etc., etc. I wish there was no wiggle room in the metal guides that go over the axle. if the rode true on the axle it would be brainless to get the alignment right.

I cleaned, lubed, and adjusted my chain today but nervous that the alignment is off. it looks straight, the brake pad looks like its sitting straight on the rotor, the reference marks are lined up on either side.....but im still nervous. the wheel looks like it spins ok. i noticed when i...

So I finally picked up my bike. 2004 Bandit 600 S, and rode it home from Guelph. Took my sweet old time doing stop and starts and slow turns before heading out on the road, and things started to come back quick. It's been 18 years since Ive ridden, and my last was an 1986 FJ 1200. The little B6...

Welcome, and Barking Squirrel is a great beer! :)

I spent a few hours yesterday watching youtube videos about riding technique. I remember all this stuff! I will definitely spend some time in the parking lot doing slow speed manoeuvres and basic drills before actually heading out on the road. Stop and gos, tight circles, etc.

New to me 2004 Bandit 600 S. I pick it up Thursday!

I just bought a bike after 18 years of non-riding, and the primary reason is to commute. I have a perfect commute for a bike though....back roads from Brantford to Guelph every day, with little to no traffic. All 80 km/h roads until I get into Guelph, and I don't have to drive far into the city...

Thanks for the welcome! I'll be sure to post some pics once I pick up the bike.

I've had to remind myself a few times that even though it's only a 600, it's still bigger than anything I've ridden in 18 years. I don't actually think it "feels" a lot smaller than my FJ did.....but I'm old and senile. I can't wait to ride. I know it won't have the highway passing power of the...

Thanks, Gerry. Not a bad idea to take a course.....I'd much rather drop someone else's bike than my own, but I'd prefer to not drop anything! haha A course isn't in the budget, so I'm going to take it s l o w.......if I find myself really uncomfortable I think I'll make the course a priority...

Hello! It's been 18 years since I wrecked my old 1986 FJ 1200, but the time has come for me to get another bike. I've signed the papers and will be picking up my new to me 2004 Bandit 600 S on Thursday. I'm turning 40 this year, so maybe that has something to do with it, but whatever. lol I...
