I've had my R6 for maybe 10 days now, i'm already doing wheelies.
Question to check the verisimilitude, how are you doing your wheelies?
Oh, and my insurance is $700 a year, fully covered.
Where? Ask your dad.

Anthony is probably not listed as the owner or primary rider.

Reading this thread has got me thinking...
If I had gotten a bike back when I was 17, id probably be dead.

The insurance carrier.
It is likely that you only have liability coverage and not comprehensive and/or collision coverage. Even for an older rider with a perfect record, $700 on an expensive new supersport would be cheap for full coverage.
People say "full coverage" sometimes and mean "full basic coverage," which is liability insurance (the important stuff...like if you hit some other guy). Comprehensive and collision covers your bike in case of theft (comprehensive) or if you do something do it (collision).
Liability covers other people and other people's equipment. That is typically what is required by law when insurance is required by law in whatever state you're in.
Just to put it in perspective -- here in NYC, where insurance is not exactly cheap, my '04 Ninja 500 would've been like $120 a year for me if I'd stuck with just liability. It went up to about $550 (after MSF) once I added comprehensive and collision. A brand new V-Strom would be about $600 (liability) or $1200 (comprehensive/collision) and I am 27 with a perfect record.

This is the truest sign you are an incompetent squid.
Sorry, better luck next time. Hope the crash doesn't hurt too bad.

First of all that couldn't have been a joke right? Secondly, I can guarantee you I never dump this bike. I am so aware of everything around me it's unbelievable. God himself can barely believe it. You better look for a different youngin' to worry about. Sorry.
RideYourRide was wrong.
The truest sign of an incompetent squid is hubris.
The #1 cause of death among teenagers is automobile accidents - and the reason is exactly what you are displaying here.

You're right. 2nd place isn't bad though.
Anthony, of course I'm not kidding. I think you are going to crash and/or make a fool of yourself. As to finding someone else to "worry" about, who said I was worried? Humored is more like it.

He's dead serious... I thought you were the one joking.
A beginner who says they got bored with a 600 in 10 days is a(n) _____. (fill in the blank!)
Insurance can't be THAT much different between California and Massachusetts, FULL coverage for a 2002 R6 would be around $2000 to $3000 for you here.

That pretty much takes the cake. I don't know why I wasted the effort trying to talk to this dude.

Well that's not where I "bloody" am, am I? I'm here.
Oh my goodness, talking to you block heads is more work then learning wheelies.
