Considering selling my bikes.

[gumby302ho]

 Yup, its usually me on here that gets over heated from yearly ins renewal, not sure why Ontario is the corperate whipping boy but we have to pay through the ass up here to insure our bikes. A guy I know picked up a big goldwing for a good price, being a large 1500cc motor he found out quickly that to insure this bike would cost him more then to insure his AIRPLANE so he was forced to sell the bike. That is total Horse C_ _ _ . To ride in Ontario you need to be rich or ride a 125cc killer. Myself I have my ex insure my ITX for 1000 bucks a season as she has been with her insurance since she was in her early 20's, now she is 55. Moral of this entry is that Ex's can be good for some things and F U to Ontario ins companies.  Don

The OP - Super - is right about the rate at Intact. That's what I am now paying with them. Just a few bucks shy of what my 2015 car is insured for with Intact. With weather and hospitals I've already kissed off half the year and the FJ is still not on the road. That's not the insurer's fault.

It used to be you could shop around and find some deals. I started back in 2005 with an XS750 which was then old enough that one of the only firms that would even take the trouble to identify my bike and quote was Meloche-Monnex. After 25 years the models roll of the industry list.

Just about all of those companies and independent brokers in Ontario that go out of their way to advertise they are your motorcycle insurance partners, and have booths at the bike shows, wouldn't insure it. Too old. Don't get suckered into thinking they are cool rider bro's. They are after all, insurance companies like the rest. They spend a bit on directed advertising to create a fable and then go after big money from modern heavy cruisers.

That's like the chopper I built. I couldn't get any insurance company t cover it. Because of the open primary. One of the shows I put it in. Progressive had 2 custom choppers in front of their booth. That both had open primaries. With their name painted on them. I asked them about it and they said they're just for show.
Here's a picture of my chopper that they wouldn't insure
