Hey guys I'm 20 years old, just got my M1 the other day. I bought a 1979 Suzuki GS850 for a sweet price, its safetied and all but I'm trying to insure it and no one will insure me.
I got the bike because I'm moving and I'll lose my job if I don't have transportation, I can't get a car because I only have my G1 and would need a fully licenced driver with me every morning (I start at 4am so can't take the bus)

I'm in Ottawa and I'm totally screwed, know of any companies that specialize with new/young drivers? I'll pay the 3,500-4,000 a year I know they will charge me, but to find someone that will actually insure me and take payments is seeming to be impossible.

Any help is appreciated.

Have you looked through the government of Ontario Ministry of transportation site?

They CLAIM they insure all kinds of bikes and riders.

They made a post here on TMW...that's where I found it.
