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

    Well... I got my renewal in the mail today... haven't been on the forum too much lately, but, this is the first place I came as soon as I took a second to let it sink in.... I'm male, Mid-30s, got a wife, no claims... 1 house, both have cars and... 2009 GSX-R600 VW Golf was 1177, now 1307...

    The Official Ongoing Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas thread

    This is off topic but on topic... Generally speaking, in the Kitchener area, we don't really have the traffic pile ups that you would get closer to Toronto, as such, my cage will always be manually shifted (I reserve the right to change my mind down the road).... I'm looking at new cars and the...

    Crazies on the Road

    Does anyone know the length of each piece of a dotted line, or, the space between lines along the line of travel? Let's do some physics and workout the actual speeds!

    Sena 20s and earbuds question

    In the OP, you said you want to protect your hearing... based on my experience, a better helmet will reduce the drone of wind... I went from Joe Rocket to Shoei RF1100 and my Joe Rocket turned into a paperweight. I have Sena 10 and wear earplugs on every ride in the Shoei. Sure, music quality is...

    Scotch anyone?

    The Johnnie Walker display in the Cancun duty free was brilliant! The way the lighting was shining thru the bottles on their well lit pedestals... Oh geeees. Sadly, I had to give the shrug to a $115 USD (~150 CAD) set of 1L + 200 mL bonus bottle of 18 year platinum label (the lady did not...

    Scotch anyone?

    I know it has been mentioned before, but, man, what is the deal with this trend away from year statements? I just looked at my collection last night and over half of them (6 bottles) are some type of reserve cask or non-year bottle. None are 18s -- still working my way up :) I'm not a snob...

    Craft Beer: What are you drinking now??

    Robohop blew my mind... Smoothest IPA I have ever had... At $9 a pop, I can afford 1 more tank of bike gas worth... i.e. 2 beers lol. Not a bargain beer, just GREAT beer. Another thumbs up for Block 3!

    Craft Beer: What are you drinking now??

    Interesting! Scotch and beer are like yin and yang for me (not sure if that reference makes sense). I love 'em both. Beer -- instant gratification upon purchase, consumed almost immediately. Scotch -- organizing and collecting and sipping... some bottles have sat unopened for a couple years now...

    Craft Beer: What are you drinking now??

    I do love me some hops... I've heard enough -- going to go find me some tonight! Hope the LCBO stock levels are accurate because I'm diving in. Audrey Hopburn was superb and a little easier on the chequebook lol. Does the Karma Citra make it to LCBOs?

    Craft Beer: What are you drinking now??

    Buddy of mine has gone coo coo for Great Lake Brewery Robohop... apparently they put some out last year, and, have re-issued a bunch of it... At $8.95/650 mL and 8.5%, it's a tough one to justify! Can't attest to its flavour since I haven't found any yet, but, looking for feedback from here...

    Scotch anyone?

    Not much longer before I'm less concerned about scotch and more in tune with my 0% BAC levels on 2 wheels!

    State Farm Vs. Allstate Vs. TD -> Supersport + Cars/Home

    The short answer is NO... As per my State Farm agent... her attempt at keeping me was to slander the competition. Who knows, I may be back in a couple years with a different bike... As long as you let me know prior to the renewal dates (to cancel them on renewal) you wouldn’t get penalized in...

    State Farm Vs. Allstate Vs. TD -> Supersport + Cars/Home

    Good-bye State-Farm... signing with Allstate on this coming Thursday. I will update this thread upon signing to show how the 'actual' rates look once we bind it. I won't celebrate until it's in writing -- I've been burned a many times too many without stuff in writing.

    Scotch anyone?

    Lagavulin 16... After watching the Nick Offerman's (Ron Swanson) yule log video, I had to dabble. Tried it out at a restaurant after dinner a few weeks back and recently got a bottle as a gift... What a peaty and smokey monster... loads of character. I don't have a sophisticated palate, but...

    It's notes like this that get me concerned!

    State Farm Vs. Allstate Vs. TD -> Supersport + Cars/Home

    Interesting payment structure. Thanks for the tip. It was $1440 yearly... one thing I do not know is if there is an 'interest' or service charge to go monthly with TD. State farm has a service fee of $0.75/month while Allstate tacks on 3%.

    State Farm Vs. Allstate Vs. TD -> Supersport + Cars/Home

    Hi Guys, I'm in the same boat as a lot of you in the thick of these supersport insurance increases... Not that we need one more thread here, but, I imagine that some of you are in the same/similar boat as me. As of 2/12/2016, I wanted to show a breakdown of what I am now paying with State Farm...
