- March 03, 2015, 16:50:08 PMOK not trying to argue with everyone but Britain is one of the cold countries, We have dug up dinosaur bones and ferns which we are told means that the dinosaurs lived in a hot climate and their riders drank beer made from ferns, Later it got even hotter so they invented ice and opened a coke cola factory, the ice spilled from the large glasses and formed glaciers which reflected the sun back up in the sky, because the sun was being reflected instead of warming the planet, the dinosaurs and their riders all froze and died.. This was called man made global cooling and it got so bad that the British government had to introduce clobal cooling taxes that were so high that a number of people built a massive ark called the Mayflower which they filled with heating oil and sailed away to the west never to be seen again, but rumour has it that they built a big fire in a place called Howareyee which which was the first thing the sailors from Devon said when they greeted the locals, this became known as Hawaii because in those days they were all stoned and couldn't spell, this big fire was so hot it set fire to a mountain and the smoke was so black it stopped the sun from bouncing back into space so the planet started to warm up again..
Some fools still believe that it is all a natural cycle, for so many years the planet warms up and we get tropics, then it cools down and we get an ice age, then it warms up again and we get tropics again and this is why they say these things date back to the last ice age and it has nothing to do with man.

- March 03, 2015, 10:44:13 AMThat's right. And being a government "non-profit" means they have to spend whatever comes in in high salaries. Nice little scam they have going... Don't get me started on MSP too.

- March 02, 2015, 23:15:45 PMHere in BC, by law, basic insurance is compulsory and also, by law, the provider is ICBC which is a government run insurance agency. The real benefit of Government run monopoly insurance scheme is significantly higher premiums. So there's that.

- March 02, 2015, 11:07:35 AMMan! Those are some crazy numbers you guys are throwing out there! I'm more like Troll in that I pay about $200 for full coverage, including $10,000 replacement coverage if the bike is totaled. Shoot, honestly the thing is worth more totaled then it is as it sits, but I like it, so I'll hang on to her.

Indian Red hey? Where did they get the name? Just kidding.
I want to find an original '48 in a museum somewhere and hold up paint swatches to get a good match.

Hmmm. I guess that should have been obvious...
Speaking of insurance, what a racket! What other industry do you know of where year after year the price stays the same, but the "value" of the merchandise DROPS so drastically? Would you pay full price for half worn-out tires?? Would you pay full price for a half-eaten sandwich? How about a 3 year old TV? Full price?? Of course not..... Yet we buy a vehicle for let's say $10,000 - Insurance the first year is $X , Next year.... same $X (unless there's an increase). 5 years later, if we say with the same company, still $X !!! But the vehicle is now worth about $3000!
And how about that Multi-Car Discount?? I insure several vehicles, and get (I think) about 10% discount. But if you do the math, if I have 2 insured vehicles, my chance of having a claim is about exactly 1/2 (50%). If I have 3 vehicles, it's 33%.... because, SURPRISE... I can't drive more than one at a time, so IMO the liability portion of my additional vehicles after the first one should be nearly nothing. I can understand the fire & theft part being at 100%.
Quick, get me off the soapbox before somebody mentions the mandatory included towing coverage that's added in there.....
But Indian Red, seriously, were the Indians the only thing painted that shade of red???

The big boys can get away with anything to get as much money as possible from us small people.
