I think BC's the only, or at least one of the only provinces to have this sort of setup, most other provinces have it fully privatized.

Well at least your guys state run health care system seems to work better than our privatized system. Seems that is one thing the government can do better than the private sector.

Yeah, right! They may diagnose your cancer in 1 day, but you have to wait 14 months for treatment to start. But that's O.K., your death in 9 months saves the taxpayers big bucks.

You said it's a beginner bike - get the minimum that you feel safe with.

I pay $80 / year with Geico because I have the state minimum coverage.

i just got my renewal policy in the mail last week. Drive Insurance, through Progressive, $136.00 a year full coverage on a 2005 Yamaha Vstar Silverado (650). Man, after hearing some of thee other posts, its a SUPER deal!!!

Just so happens I'm renewing as of March 9th

Policy
Liability 10/20
Property damage 10
Comprehensive & Collision ($500 deductable)

Current Carrier - Illinios National Ins (through AIG) $877 for the year
Progressive was $1120
Geico $1300

This is all with no tickets and no claims for at least four years.

Guess I'll stay with AIG. good news though, putting my car on the gf's insurance and reducing that policy by $400 a year!

on my ex500 i was paying something around 3,000...dumped the bike once, next year it's gonna shoot up to 5,000...the bike isn't even worth 5 gs....so now i'm only liability.

You dumped the bike and reported it to insurance???? that hurts.

I'm currently getting ripped off by state farm (something like $960 a year). Im switching to Progressive, was quoted $360 per year for the same coverage.

[quote="DivideOverflow"]You dumped the bike and reported it to insurance???? that hurts.

yes....yes it does...wouldn't have done it if knew what would happen.

At least around here if you don't have comprehensive and they don't pay out, they aren't allowed to jack up your rates. Unless you were at fault in a multi-vehicle accident.
