To give an idea of what are the yearly costs in Quebec, north of New York's border :

Full insurance coverage (private): 343$
Motorcycle plates : 545$
Driver's license : 158$

Under 1050$ total cost for the year. I'm 53 and no tickets in the last year. The more the tickets, the more the driver's license fee increases!!!

My RKC is $1350 for the year for full blown coverage...anything and I mean and happens I'm covered. If I were to ride a crotch rocket its $2800 for the year,,,we sure don't see my on the roads up here.

Check it out and see what you would pay

Holy Chit! that is insane! It would cost nearly as much just to insure my 97 Springer as it does for me to insure the 97 Springer, 11 SG, 11 Special Build custom, 2006 Grand pri, 2011 Tundra, 66 Mustang, and my house!

Ain't socialism special!

I pay $325.00 per month for my Road King, and $220.00 per month for my KTM 450 Dual Sport.

Socialism Sucks!
Wow, and yes it does!

I just switched from progressive(thru USAA)to GEICO and saved a couple hundred a year. I've had USAA car,home and cycle insurance for quite awhile and was shocked at the savings.

I switched from GEICO to USAA and saved a TON of bucks! Perhaps it's because I'm ex-military?
