Thanks
Ok, let's get back on message. Teal green '99...no, they only came in deep Gooseberry. There was a turquoise 1500 in 2000, but Motorcycle Consumer News doesn't even list a 2000 1500 in their value guide, so there's probably not many around. Racemom91 had a green carbon fiber wrapped J model for sale, so it might be worth an email to her to see if she's still got it...

We have programs like vanishing deductibles, where if you stay with the same company without a claim, your rate goes down and so does your deductible. If you're with the same company for say, 10 years, and you have a claim all of a sudden, you could have a $0 deductible, so your repair is on the house!

- August 02, 2014, 17:00:47 PMOur insurance companies have a very different system, If you stay with the same company the price increases every year..there is a clause in all new policies that the company will use your credit or debit card number to automatically renew you insurance each year at an increased price unless you cancel it within seven days of the renewal notification..one problem the customer has is that during the year the insurance company will send several pages of advertising for other products such as house, contents, health, pet and other insurance products..at the time the renewal is due the notification is in with several other pages of advertising..Now because all insurance companies want new business they offer new customers discount instead of offering loyal customers discounts..

- August 02, 2014, 13:31:05 PMQuote from: pcarrell on August 02, 2014, 13:11:11 PMThey fluctuate slightly from year to year, but only slightly. If you stay with the same company for a few years then the fluctuation will almost always be in a downward direction. If you have your home or other vehicles through the same company, it gets even cheaper. I think I paid just under $200USD for a year on my Drifter this year.
When I got my bill for this year's coverage, I was surprised to discover it had gone down about $20 from last year. Same coverage, the maximum I can get, with towing, and trip interruption, accessories, the whole thing, and no deductible this year...$185 to cover BOTH BIKES.......I've been waiting for them to send a "correction" notice, but it's been a couple of months, so I guess I'm good....

I love riding the Drifter but I need to ride the other bikes as well, so this year I'm going to have to bite the bullet and pay whatever they ask..

- August 02, 2014, 08:52:18 AMIf I could get away with it, I'd add an 800 (Scout) to my 1500 (Chief) fleet, right along side my W-650 Cafe' and then I'd need a W-800...and maybe a 900 Ninja....and and and..
