Bike insurance is a necessary evil, but we're getting ripped off (at least we are in Canada) I would like to know what my fellow riders are paying for insurance.

About $250 for my Harley with the same coverage as handy. Wonder why it'd be more in Canada? Most of the thieves and lawyers live down here in the US.

hundred bones a month here in B.C. just bare minimum to get the sticker so I'm legal. 88 FLH bagger. This is with a 5 star rating & 43% reduction in price.
Insurance corp of Canada (ICBC). the only available insurance & it's government owned!
You must have heard this saying before, "I love the fu#@ing government & the government loves fu#@ing me"

Boy am I getting ripped off. I have a 2009 cvo roadglide & a 2006 softail standard. I pay about $700.00 a year for both bikes. Had one accident that wasn't my fault in 10 years with no other claims. Who is everyone going through? I have progressive. I used like a cheap *****.
