ur registration and insurance must be expensive...I pay 100/yr for insurance for one bike...and i forget the registration fee but i know its under $20/ yr...Originally posted by shadowman View PostHere's a couple of Daffodil, now that she's done. She's running great, but I may have to sell her. I'm getting a bike for my wife, I really don't want to get rid of my GSX650F, (it's a fantastic all rounder), and I can't keep 3 bikes licensed and insured. I may just drop the insurance, pull the plates and park her in the corner of my shop for a few years.

My Reg on my 11 runs about $60 per year and Insurance runs about 216 per year, but that's really pushing it up to get it high enough to get monthly payments so I could get auto pay, so that's full coverage, mondo PL and PD, Med payments (which will cover my deductables and such if needed) and roadside assistance all through progressive. Of course being Ca the reg fee is going to go UP next year cause the stupid politicians can't figure out how to CUT spending.Originally posted by g15usmc View PostCy

Size does matter!
Couldn't help it: you missed the obvious in yer dialogue...
Special EdOld bikers never die, they're just out of sight!
My recently re-built, hopped up '79 Special caught fire and burned everything from the top of the engine up: gas tank, wiring, seat, & melted my windshield all over the front of the bike.
Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
I've been riding since 1959.Comment
