    2019 Renewal - Increase? Allstate? Is this a joke?

    That's a good setup. No idea why their policy in my case was any different. My guess is that the person I was dealing with didn't know any better.

    2019 Renewal - Increase? Allstate? Is this a joke?

    That's a good one lol. One thing that comes to mind is that when I needed to pickup a cheque for a claim, they made me specifically go to the Etobicoke location to pick it up. I asked if I could pick it up at a closer brokerage or have it mailed to me and they said I couldn't. Hopefully this...

    Good to know.

    2019 Renewal - Increase? Allstate? Is this a joke?

    Thank you, but not sure how it works with regional locations. My current agency location is in Etobicoke (because Grant was there) even though I'm north of Newmarket. Based on the 519 area code, that would be a good ways from where I'm at.

    2019 Renewal - Increase? Allstate? Is this a joke?

    Thanks for the update. I'm with Allstate and wasn't happy when they raised my bike rates 20% last year with no changes to my policy (about $400 for both bikes). House insurance (which renews a month earlier) also was up last year about $100. I called in and they ended up giving me a $200 credit...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2018 Edition)

    Driving Southbound at around 4pm on the 400 I saw a bike (looked like a v-strom) merge on the highway in front of me from the Teston on ramp. Anyone from here? It was -2 and lightly snowing. Hardcore.

    Feel good picture.

    After mere hours of gazing into the pixelated mosaic, I figured it out. The middle says "FOUNDT IT, Thank you."

    This is more of a feel frustrated picture because it's so pixelated you can't read it clearly. ;)

    Castrol Grand Prix 10w40 Motrocycle Oil - Costco.ca

    I followed up with a call to Castrol. This motorcycle oil is JASO-MA and safe for wet clutches. A more recent product (Castrol GO! 4T) is an updated version of Grand Prix that is JASO-MA2 rated, but JASO-MA is safe for wet clutch motorcycles. I also looked into Castrol GO! 4T and it looks like...

    First Look@ Yamaha Niken

    I foresee that this is going to be an expensive flop for them.

    Castrol Grand Prix 10w40 Motrocycle Oil - Costco.ca

    Just to reinforce what others have said and are speculating this is definitely not synethic oil, I maybe should have posted this originally for those that are unsure. It works for my purpose as I've been using the Castrol GTX (car oil without friction modifiers) changing every 5000-6000kms for...

    GSXR 750 concept....thoughts? I love it!

    Yep, front looks so good. A nod to the SRAD days with a look that makes it unique from most of the modern day sport bikes out there.

    Castrol Grand Prix 10w40 Motrocycle Oil - Costco.ca

    While waiting for a response I've been doing some digging. The same name in a different package selling in the UK is advertised as JASO. https://www.amazon.co.uk/CASTROL-Grand-Prix-10W-40-Jubi/dp/B00BCE1GCY

    Castrol Grand Prix 10w40 Motrocycle Oil - Costco.ca

    I think you're right about that. A few years ago there was another brand that didn't mention or feature JASO on the bottle and when the manufacturer was contacted they did confirm it was. I think it may have been Shell's Rotella oil at the time.

    Castrol Grand Prix 10w40 Motrocycle Oil - Costco.ca

    Just sent an email to the manufacturer to see what they say regarding JASO-MA/2 certification. I'm very much assuming so since I've been using Castrol GTX 10w40 (car oil) in my GSXR for 14 years and 95,000km and it was JASO-MA/2 approved... so it would be absolutely ridiculous if their...

    Castrol Grand Prix 10w40 Motrocycle Oil - Costco.ca

    Costco sells the 12L boxes (1L x 12) for $65. They have a Masterpass promo that gives you $20 off $100 or more, so if you add a $35 filler item or purchase two boxes you'll get the discount. It will bring the price per litre to be cheaper than any other retailer. I ordered last week and received...

    Winter storage question

    I'm surprised more people haven't chimed in with how it's not really a concern. I never used to pay attention to ethanol vs. non and always put whatever 91 octane was convenient for my GSXR for years and with fuel stabilizer I never had an issue. That said, when I learned about it I started...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2018 Edition)

    Re: Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2018 Edition) In Newmarket we got snow overnight already almost a week ago. I bit more this morning than earlier and yesterday morning, but it should melt away. Worst October... first 2 weeks of it were straight rain and overcast, now the snow so...
