Bike issues
Alright, so I talked to my bank, got a co-signer and got myself a $3K loan for my bike ('95 Honda CBR 600). When I first even looked at the bike, I saw it had an assembled title, and I asked the shop if that would affect my insurance at all, and they said 'No'. Well, I went to EVERY insurance place ...
