So I bought a house and finally get to buy a bike, although it's only a townhouse which is half a house so I'm only going to buy half a bike so I can continue saving for a bigger house. I'm also going on my first week long vacation in over six years this July with the wife and kids in Quebec.
But I didn't book a return ticket for myself, as I am going to pick up a 2015 Honda CB300F from a buddy in Ottawa and ride it home, only registered last August with 1600km on it for $3500. My original plan was to rent a bike there to ride around and fly return but I thought this would be an awesome way to do it especially on Canada's 150th birthday.
I'm so excited. I was going to buy a 2017 version of this bike which is really nice this year, matte silver and hi vis green, looks super sleek. But for the price of a brand new model, I get to take my family on vacay and take home an almost new model on an epic road trip. I will document that trip home on my YouTube channel and also post photos.
BTW, I already checked insurance with Megson which came up to a few bucks less than Beacon with $500 deductible. $250 deductible was not available as I only have a carport at my townhouse. I'll give them a try this year. ICBC is $33 a month with $1 mil liability.
