Would anyone happen to know (or have a good guess) at the average displacement of a Harley Davidson on the road? Do they mostly tend to be in the 1200CC+ range? My knowledge of Harleys is very limited :P

The Ontario Gov't just announced a mandatory 15% average rate decrease for Ontario Auto insurance. This announcement is likely specific to Auto insurance, but I guess there's a chance it could impact Motorcycle insurance rates as well. The details haven't been provided yet...

Hi Everyone, Since Intact bought out Jevco, I'm sure that many Jevco clients have seem some pleasant, unpleasant, and downright nasty rate changes. If you were a Jevco client, could you please post: Operator Age: Years Licensed on Motorcycle: Claims or Convictions? First Three Digits of...

Hey! Does anyone know of any honest independent mechanics in the Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, or Cambridge areas? I have a used set of OEM rotors that I would like installed on my 2001 GSX-R1000, and I would likely buy new pads too. Maybe there's a good mechanic that likes to take extra jobs...

Hey Guys, I need to replace the front rotors and pads on my 2001 GSXR1000. My priority is that the rotor be a high quality that will not warp . . . I hate vibrations! I've never had any luck with any aftermarket rotors in the past with my cars, and now always stick with OEM. Should I stick...

Would anyone happen to know if a comprehensive dataset exists that contains comprehensive technical data for most modern (2000+) motorcycles by year, make, and model? Specifically, I'm looking for horsepower and wet weights. Preferably, it would be in a tabular format that could be imported...

Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone else on the board has their license to fly ultralights (or are in the process of getting one)? I've done four lessons so far, and it's REALLY fun (and quite challenging)! Nothing is more awesome than riding my bike to the airfield and then hopping directly...

My post count just dropped from ~7786 down to 1186 . . . did this happen to anyone else? Weird!

Has anyone ever quoted with TD / Meloche under both assumptions? - Both your bike and car with TD/Meloche - Only your bike with TD/Meloche If so, do you know what the quoted premium was in both scenarios? I'm curious :)

As the title says, I'm looking for a good set of *straight* front rotors (preferably stock/OEM) for a 2001 GSXR1000. Thanks!

Canadian Tire has the CTEK Multi-Use 3300 Battery Charger / Maintainer / Tender on sale again at 40% off (reg. $89.99 and now $49.99). This is a really good deal on one of the best battery maintainers available, and perfect timing for those looking for a charger before the winter :) I love...

Hey Guys, I know this is a bit of a stretch, but does anyone know of any good and honest mechanics in the west end that could do an oil change, service the chain, and check to see why my bike is leaking a bit of oil every time I park it? I happen to have today off, so I'm trying to get this...

Hey Guys, There's a LOT of information and misinformation here on GTAM about what impacts your motorcycle insurance premium. I have put together a couple of tables of rating variables that can affect your premium. Your motorcycle insurance premium is determined based on a COMBINATION of many...

Hey Guys, When an insurance company wants to determine your insurance claims history, they purchase an AutoPlus report from CGI. This report details any insurance claim that you have made. In case people are not aware, you're allowed to order one free copy of your own AutoPlus report once per...

Hey Guys, I'm just curious -- of all the kilometers you put on your bike, what percentage is purely for the fun of riding? Cheers!

My brother just backed into my perfect-condition 2001 GSX-R1000 in the driveway. It rolled a bit out of the driveway and then fell onto the right side. I thought he was joking when he told me, but sure enough, my precious bike was laying on its side :( I think I actually got pretty lucky . ...

Hey Guys, Last year I bought a CTEK "intelligent" battery tender from Canadian Tire based on rave reviews here on the forum. As far as I can tell it's a great little unit, and has a really nice quick-connect cable system that you can leave on your bike. In case anyone is interested, they're...

EDIT: This posting has been corrected and should hopefully be accurate. EDIT: This posting is only intended for TD / MM / Primmum customers that are on the 7-month payment plan. If you are on a 12-month payment plan, then your policy has been grandfathered from an old Liberty Mutual account...

Hi Everyone, <<UPDATE! I HAVE ATTACHED AN EXCEL-BASED CALCULATOR FOR THE MATHEMATICALLY CHALLENGED :D>> Time and time again, GTAM members ask me why they aren't allowed to cancel their State Farm policy (or drop to Fire and Theft only) for the winter without paying a "penalty". Although...

Hey Guys, I just thought it was interesting how people are bashing the insurance companies for jacking up rates, and I can certainly sympathize since I am a rider too! I am an Actuarial Analyst in the Pricing Department of a major Canadian insurer, and my job is to help set the overall rates...
