Insurance rant

$145/yr for my '90 FJ and '03 WR450F, full coverage on both.....

My buddy lives in Quebec, he told me his ins is real expensive, maybe $2,000 or so but he told me that the Govt makes y'all pay more to ride a bike because of your socialized healthcare system ie: If you want to take the risk on expensive bodily injury, you have to pay the price.

Over here in New Jersey they hit me for $200 per year with one traffic mishap. Before the mishap it was $95. Bike Reg here went up to $65 per year.

State Farm wanted $991 to renew insurance on my '93, and that's basic coverage. 
I've been with them for 28 years. Never had a ticket or claim on the bike.
I switched to RidersPlus. They only do bikes. Better, but still pricey at $730.   

Insurance is killing the motorcycle industry in Canada...
I really don't understand how our friends in the south, who can ride a lot more than us, pay so little.

  Sometimes, just sometimes the squeeky wheel gets some grease!!!

I told my insurance agent that I point blank refuse to pay the $819.00 he was asking for, so go away and have a rethink

He came back with a quote of $780.00!!! Now I know its only $39.00 but hey, its a wee bit back in my pocket...better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick

Here in Ontario, we have choice of insurance companies so we can shop around. I'm 54 yrs old with no infractions. The best I can do on my '88 with basic coverage is $713 (up from $698 last year). I shopped around and one agent said he would get me a deal at $998! I told him to go pound sand and stayed with my current company which is TD Bank (underwritten by Primmum).
