Hey Bucko I am in Kelowna so I will be dealing with icbc too.
Can I ask what your 3 months costs? Does it include theft?
Cheers

If I were to insure my 01, 1500 here in BC for a full year (which I don't) and with full coverage (which I don't) the cost, with the maximum ICBC safe driver discount of 43% would be $2600 per year the last time I checked.  Fortunately  :-\ since it rains here in Vancouver about 10 moths a year (not this year it seems  ???), I only insure for about 3 months which cuts the cost down significantly, but it's still outrageous given it's only 3 months coverage.

Hi John
When I was living in Ontario they wanted $1200 a year insurance for 1 bike! Disgusting. Especially since you can really only ride six months of the year tops but you have to insure for 12. Its a bit better here in BC but not as good as a fellow I met in Florida - $200 a year! Man I would love to move there.

I don't know what my renewal will be, but I have had both my bikes (1500 Drifter and W-650) covered with the maximum amount of insurance allowed for motorcycles and a "0" deductible and towing/roadside assistance and helmet/clothing replacement for just over $200 since I signed on with ALLSTATE in 2010...It actually went down last year to $199....

The thing that gets me is I have just insured my Drifter for $90 for the year but to add another three bikes to cover the same period, with no cover for damage to my own bike will cost me $450..

And that is with 55 years riding and no accidents.

I've got a 1999 VN1500/ J1 registered in England in 2000, however that doesn't mean a lot here, I have just offered to buy another J1 that was registered in England in 2002..

Total madness I know because this will bring my bike total up to four and I can only ride one at a time, compulsory insurance will be four times as much, so will yearly taxes and road worthy tests, bringing my costs to wheel all of them out of my garage and onto the road up to $1,150 per year..

God only knows what it would cost for some of you youngsters.

John.
