I wonder how they get numbers as some of you guys seem to pay more for less. | That's the same bike/coverage I have. My declared bike value is even the same.

How long you have been riding, your age, and whether or not you took lessons through her school will affect your rate as far as I am aware.

Hey guys!!
My gf and I are taking the 1st Gear Motorcycle School in mid April. We were wondering if anyone has gear they're selling (especially ladies size). Thought I'd ask on here since I've already been lucky from a generous member!

New rider...but 43% driving coverage | ICBC ideal for bad riders or new riders as ICBC can not refuse coverage to anyone. Always shop for additional coverage with other Insurance providers.
Megson- Can not say with 100% certainty but pretty sure all of there coverage is placed through Intact. Good thing also is that you are provided with cover sheet to indicate the value of the bike (if needs to be replaced) so your not over insuring or under insuring your bike.

Has anyone built a cafe racer from a stock bike? Are there any big surprises/hurdles/expenses someone would be likely to run into if they wanted to build one from a stock bike? Maybe something like this:

You can get an older bike for cheap but you'll end up spending 10x more time removing rust, stuck parts, 40 years of grime, fixing electrical issues -- the list goes on. Quote:

| Forcefield Pro L2K EVO. Best protectors/armor on the market. Super comfortable after break-in, thinnest overall, excellent breathability and is the highest rated (least transfer of force through your spine) among all other spine protector products.
I do find myself using a KNOX protector quite often also. Cheap, light, comfortable. Travels well.
For safety on the track I wouldn't suggest anything other than forcefield.
