Hey guys! Some of you might remember me from years ago where I used to post here a lot, but I took a hiatus due to a lack of time. State Farm used to be the #1 insurer for Sport bikes, but they were acquired by Desjardins a number of years ago. I'm just curious for everyone with Sport Bikes...

Hi Guys, Would anyone have access to data that could tell me the approximate market values in Ontario for the following 10 bikes? Maybe a bluebook or something of the sort? I need this info for a project I'm working on. 2010 HARLEY DAVIDSON FLHTK ELECTRA GLIDE ULTRA LTD 2010 HARLEY...

For those keeping up on the news, the Ontario insurance industry is currently required to submit Auto Insurance (not Bike Insurance) filings to the regulator over 2013 and 2014 (in a few different waves). In short, these filings detail the actuarial calculations to arrive at the premium...

Would anyone happen to know (or have a good guess) at the average displacement of a Harley Davidson on the road? Do they mostly tend to be in the 1200CC+ range? My knowledge of Harleys is very limited :P

The Ontario Gov't just announced a mandatory 15% average rate decrease for Ontario Auto insurance. This announcement is likely specific to Auto insurance, but I guess there's a chance it could impact Motorcycle insurance rates as well. The details haven't been provided yet...

Hi Everyone, Since Intact bought out Jevco, I'm sure that many Jevco clients have seem some pleasant, unpleasant, and downright nasty rate changes. If you were a Jevco client, could you please post: Operator Age: Years Licensed on Motorcycle: Claims or Convictions? First Three Digits of...

Hey! Does anyone know of any honest independent mechanics in the Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, or Cambridge areas? I have a used set of OEM rotors that I would like installed on my 2001 GSX-R1000, and I would likely buy new pads too. Maybe there's a good mechanic that likes to take extra jobs...

Hey Guys, I need to replace the front rotors and pads on my 2001 GSXR1000. My priority is that the rotor be a high quality that will not warp . . . I hate vibrations! I've never had any luck with any aftermarket rotors in the past with my cars, and now always stick with OEM. Should I stick...

Would anyone happen to know if a comprehensive dataset exists that contains comprehensive technical data for most modern (2000+) motorcycles by year, make, and model? Specifically, I'm looking for horsepower and wet weights. Preferably, it would be in a tabular format that could be imported...

Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone else on the board has their license to fly ultralights (or are in the process of getting one)? I've done four lessons so far, and it's REALLY fun (and quite challenging)! Nothing is more awesome than riding my bike to the airfield and then hopping directly...

Hey Guys, I know this is a bit of a stretch, but does anyone know of any good and honest mechanics in the west end that could do an oil change, service the chain, and check to see why my bike is leaking a bit of oil every time I park it? I happen to have today off, so I'm trying to get this...

Hey Guys, There's a LOT of information and misinformation here on GTAM about what impacts your motorcycle insurance premium. I have put together a couple of tables of rating variables that can affect your premium. Your motorcycle insurance premium is determined based on a COMBINATION of many...

Hey Guys, When an insurance company wants to determine your insurance claims history, they purchase an AutoPlus report from CGI. This report details any insurance claim that you have made. In case people are not aware, you're allowed to order one free copy of your own AutoPlus report once per...

Hey Guys, I'm just curious -- of all the kilometers you put on your bike, what percentage is purely for the fun of riding? Cheers!

My brother just backed into my perfect-condition 2001 GSX-R1000 in the driveway. It rolled a bit out of the driveway and then fell onto the right side. I thought he was joking when he told me, but sure enough, my precious bike was laying on its side :( I think I actually got pretty lucky . ...
