By the way, for those that have not been to Italy, GO. And it is even better on a motorcycle as I have spent years riding the northern part from the French border to Slovenia, but mainly concentrating on the Dolomites and lakes regions. The quaint towns, the laid back people in them, the great...

Anyone notice the STOP sign at the 42 second mark in that video? And this is Italy, just as I noticed a STOP sign in France back in 1995 when I drove there. I laughed because in Quebec it is ARRET. Go figure. As for salesman, go away as I most probably know far more about the product than you...

What do I need a Hybrid for when I get 4.6L / 100 km with my 1200 cc bike. I do not need the complexity, but it is good for those who want to jump on the band wagon.

Not my kind of motorcycle and best left to others that buy a bike for styling. If I cannot have 600 km range, a comfortable seating position, shaft drive and without a bunch of Tupperware, it is not for me.

if you are on your own "private property", how are you a risk to "public safety"? Exactly why I have stated so often "only in nanny state Canada" where our dictator of a PM needs to control everything to protect us sheep where in many cases it does not make sense.

He must have been an artsie-fartsie type.

Exactly! Just look at United Healthcare and other compnaies like it. Be it healthcare or vehicle or any insurance, they are extremely good at one thing, collecting your premium. Luckily I never had to find out in over 50 years of being insured (never needed to make a claim) because I know my...

That was a long time ago but when I had my Suzuki RG 500 Gamma I was under 30 and my rates were actually very low. As for those old farts who just got their licence the other day, their rates are high simply because they have a high chance of being in an accident.

Exactly and I'd bet you a grand if insurance wasn't mandatory they would be breaking down your door to get your business. Banks and insurance...run by the same cloth.

No worries as the Germans came up with a Salt-Air battery.

So I was told by a friend. Checked luggage and even a second carry-on. Maybe we should weigh people as well and base fares on that. A 250 pound fat fu*k with their 23 kg (50#) checked luggage can get on a flight but a 180 pound person with checked luggage that is 5 pounds over weight has to pay...

And manufacturers, in this case motorcycle manufacturers shoot themselves in the foot when all the bodywork is easily 1/3 the price or more of the MSRP of the motorcycle. No wonder insurance is high, even in cases where there is no bodily injury.

Hate to break it to you, insurance companies care about profits and share holders. That is why I gave it a thumbs up when Brian Thompson of United Healthcare was shot. Sorry, but I have no mercy for a company denying 34% of claims so that the dumb fu*k can earn a $10M a year salary. And there...

(y) Yeah well we live in a world of Me, Me, Me and proof is we have sites like Facebook and others like it. Then of course you have people suffering from FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) that live on their mobile phone (instead of concentrating on their driving). It must be terrible feeling so...

Are we ever getting ripped off up here. But considering the GTS is double the cost, that Vette driver is getting ripped as well. And those are good rates for the GTA.

Sometimes. If I bought a Corvette in my area, insurance would have been 3.5X as much as it was for the Porsche, yet I can buy two Vettes for the same money. As the insurance company put it, we have practically no claims if you drive a Porsche (big surprise to me at the time), claims are far...

What details did I leave out? It certainly wasn't age. I would think that most could figure out that a $200K car "should" cost far more to insure than a $1K used motorcycle, even if I am accident-free for 50+ years and that does not mean that someone cannot run into me writing it off. First of...

Fully aware of that as well as countless other factors. The question is why is insurance so epensive in the GTA? Likely due to "risk". I mean if you do not have accidents or car thefts, rates would be low. But I have driven in the GTA and I am not surprised. Too many clowns getting their...

What part of the amount and full coverage are you having a tough time understanding? Thank God I don't. Too many Liberals in the GTA.

No accidents, no claims. I sure hope not at 18 y.o. especially for someone starting out. At $7641 per year, I would not accept the risk. Drivers & Riders need to prove themselves first for quite a few years. So what does this mean? Is he riding around with no insurance? I pay $744 for my 2016...
