    Pretty sure "R.I.C.E" means something else in my line of work.....

    What is that in electrical troubleshooting?

  2. When I first insured the Griso for the minimum liability required by the state of California, I paid Geico ~$95/year.

    They were the only one honoring my decades as a foreign motorcycle driver license holder and I did it all online, never talked to an agent. 

    After a year or two, I can’t remember :oldgit: they offered to increase the liability coverage with no increase in premium . . . All good!

    When I added the V11S to the policy, my premium went up ~$5/year :rasta:  Although for some reason the vin # makes it appear as a V11 Ballabio, so that takes the Sport  nomenclature out of the equation. I won’t complain . . .

    After the Covid debacle, they issued me a $20 refund . . .

    Now after many years with them with no claims and automatically added discounts my yearly premium has gone down this year to $77 for the 2 bikes.

    So, 2 bikes, 1 policy and decent coverage for less than $100/year and a company that seems to look after their customer without me having to talk to anyone or be on the phone for hours on end . . .  Yeah, I’m happy with Geico!

    And as @LowRyter aptly said, don’t think for a minute your claim is gonna be treated more fairly by one company over another because you’re giving them more money . . . .  There is a good reason the very rich don’t carry insurance when not obligated, it’s cheaper in the end to cover individual incidents if and when they occur than pay for a recurring policy that you may never need . . . .  Insurance is a scam . . . . Thank the Lloyd’s of London :moon:

  3. In California, the minimum insurance requirement is bodily injury and property damage liability with $15k/30k and $5k coverage respectively.

    I carry $30k/60k and $50k liability coverage for 2 bikes, including legal defense in case of lawsuit for the princely sum of $77/year, including various discounts.

    I don't feel the need to carry comprehensive or collision on a 10 and a 20 year old bike.

    As for uninsured drivers, note that California requires proof of insurance to register a vehicle, not that it makes a foolproof condition as you could have insurance at time of registration and drop it for the rest of the year, so I'm sure there are still plenty of uninsured drivers out on the road.

  4. @p6x  I haven't gotten any reply as of yet. I think you're right about the emails going through Craigslist servers being pushed to the recipient's email client. At least, that's been my experience, no need to be logged into your Craigslist account to send or receive email messages.

    Your guess is as good as mine concerning the seller behavior . . .  All I can say is, try to be patient and give it some time, he might resurface and actually respond to his messages.

    One good thing is that the ad is still up and was updated yesterday 1/05/24    . . . . Fingers crossed!

    They never do until they are forced to reset their notions of what's appropriate in a house. Every woman I've ever know at first look was horrified at bikes in the house including my mother and mother in law. Because they all had zero say in the issue, surprise, surprise they then just became non plussed about it and realised there wasn't a problem in reality. Sometimes you have to challenge the "models" people have in their minds.

    There you go @activpop . . . A road map to matrimonial bliss and harmony . . . :lol:

    Best looking one so far!   Nice work @p6x  :thumbsup:

    I’d still be interested in seeing it with the eagle in different configurations but I understand it’s not a simple “grab & move” . . . But if you’re up for it...

    50 units for a first run sounds like a good number, I’ll definitely support that effort and take a couple.  :bier:

    PS: I’d love to have a keyring with that design. . .
