So far dealing with Beacon is a lot better than Megson, at least for me.
Also Beacon is actually more easy going on if they will approve your insurance or not. (thats if you have had suspension or dui)
So I am a no go for either of them.
My yearly for ICBC fully insured is well over 5k+ a year... so I try to only insure during the best months =/ (and I have 40% discount -.-)
Talk about pay to play, that's ridiculous.

Yeah, by the summertime I usually insure everything as well and it sucks, this year I am probably getting rid of one of the Diavel's tho since I dont need two and I need to make room as I am out of space for whats coming in the future!
I have not dealt with Megson personally, but I have heard its like beacon as well, declared value and what not.
But I have had multiple friends claim beacon seamlessly so thats why I'd stay with them, this include friends who has crashed on the track and what not.
My girlfriend is also on Beacon and although we have never dealt with them (Knock on wood) but so far I have had nothing but good news from friends.
What hasn't Killed me, has made me more tolerant of RS!

Aite. Reputation is important.
Just hearing Radioman's Beacon claim headaches and the fact they only let me declare the value my Vino 125 at $1,000 as per Blackbook no matter how adamant I am that people ask for more for it, plus they'll charge me $225 for it anyway vs. $161 at MF for $1,900 declared value, has me looking elsewhere. I'll consider being the Megson Fitzpatrick guinea pig here.

Insured for the year ICBC $1170 and Beacon $790 with $500 deductable. ICBC full coverage would of been $2850 with 43% discount
Took some pics with the DSLR
Damn that's one huge heavy-looking muffler. Looks like it's time for an underbelly system! Also if you happened to be the guy that sold the Repsol CBR600 I woulda bought it from you had I known you'd let it go so cheap
Lol, I kind of feel the same but my suspension is in Idaho.

Waiting for the muffler, but with this setup it's already insanely loud
