    Possible to Insure yourself??

    In 2010 it was estimated to be about 9-18% of annual claims costs. They are not loopholes, and I'm not sure insurance companies really have the power to go after them. It's a legal matter so the government should really be leading such an initiative. You're comparing different levels of...

    Also, the rebuild will give me a good foundation for this: And maybe a bit of that:

    Aprilia SXV550 Winter Project

    I plan to. Definitely lucked out with the crank. I'm guessing quite a while. Luckily the trans and crankcase are separate, like some Honda MX bikes. Besides the engine it really doesn't need much. The previous owner didn't have it long enough to screw up anything else. You would think so but a...

    Okay. I'm just a bit confused because June 15th was scheduled to be the first round of SMO.

    Out with the old, in with the new The rebuild is going to cost a fair bit more than I expected, so I'll be extending my timeline. Cosmetic and suspension upgrades are going to be done later in the season.

    Shannonville Nelson curcuit track day June 15

    Is the 15th still going to be a race day? And how is noise measured? Not sure if I'll pass and I'd rather not find out the day of. Not in my experience.

    Best company for a 21 year old on a 750cc non-sport bike?

    Jevco is now Intact, call John R Duffy for a quote. You can try Desjardins, but the rate will likely be similar to what you've been quoted. There is really no other, certainly not for anyone under 25/30. Lastly, don't bother with online quotes.

    Yz 250 for trail riding??

    If I were doing a lot of trail riding I'd probably shell out for a Rekluse clutch.

    Possible to Insure yourself??

    Bingo. While bike insurance is expensive, the profit margins are not what people think they are. I recall viffer posted that State Farm actually loses some money on motorcycle policies to bring in home/auto business.

    Desjardins to buy State Farm

    That's not how it works. Take a look at when Intact bought Jevco. New rates based on Intact's models, take it or leave it. Start an insurance company.

    Desjardins to buy State Farm

    I believe Allstate will do sportbikes for the 30+ group.

    Aprilia SXV550 Winter Project

    Update on the engine. It arrived at Allen's on Wednesday and he opened it up today. The transmission was run without oil and "got hotter than I've ever seen." The entire assembly will need to be replaced. The gears actually melted and welded to the shift fork. I can't help but laugh. Previous...
