How many bikes do you have?

Look below...+ 2 fixie bicycles
 
Modesty prevents honest answer. Sorry.

But you can definitely get multiple bikes stolen off you, and all of them can asplode at once.

I wonder what kind of arrangement a guy like Jay Leno has with his insurer.

I could be way off, but I thought in BC you can have up to 5 bikes on 1 policy for liability, you pay for the most expensive. Damage/theft is taken out separately.
 
4 bikes. Dirt, sport, adventure, and a scooter :cool: one of each.
 
1.9 (see KTM quality)
 
Two.

My primary ride, and a project bike (which just so happens to now be plated and insured for the first time in two years). Not sure how long I want to pay insurance on two though.

Jay Leno most likely self insures so it probably costs him very little.

I was going to say either self insured, fleet insurance, or maybe even some kind of dealer insurance (I'm sure since he has a huge collection that he buys and sells all the time).

Dealer insurance would be nice to have. Just slap a dealer plate on whichever vehicle you want. Plus you don't need to worry about safety inspections and stuff.

I only have one bike but am considering making it two. Then two cars just for me (gf doesn't even have a G1).
 
I was gonna say 1, but then remembered that I have a non- running 1988 PGO Star 50 scooter tucked away for an eventual restore, so happy to say 2!

A few, but currently only riding one as I'm about to tear down one and rebuild and insure as a classic, one of the others I'm going to sell and last year I sold off my cm400

Just one. If insurance was different then I would have more then 1. Insurance should insure your most expensive bike and then cover every bike after that as you cannot ride two bikes at once.

This. They should be challenged on this in court as a catastrophic payout cannot occur when you are the principal rider of many motorcycles. You can only ride one bike at a time. This is how it used to be in the 80's. They would charge you one full liability policy and each bike added was an extra ~ $50. This should be reported to all MP's in Ontario as it hampers motorcycle sales and frankly is illegal. If you lie that you're the primary rider and let someone else ride one of your bikes, the insurance co simply does not have to pay out and can deny you future insurance as you lied to an insurance co. Else, I cannot see how them charging you multiple full policies is not illegal, and should be brought to the attention of your MP's and the government as a whole. It was like this before, so the precedent is already written. Report them! You do have a say in how things are run. The passivity of Ontarians is why things have gotten to this level of bad. Report them to your local MP's. Your MP is obligated to investigate and give you an answer. The more reports, the more scratching of heads of MP's, the more MP's start talking together, then it's brought before the house of commons. This in light of the concern of level of fitness of Ontarians should drive the government to take action to allow Ontarians the right to buy and own multiple recreational vehicles. It's good for the economy and it's good for the health of Ontarians who otherwise might be sitting on the couch generating heart attacks vs. being involved in recreational activity. Feel free to cut and paste this to your local MP!

It would likely backfire and end up costing us more somehow like the last insurance changes did.

The only reason it would backfire is the passivity of Ontarians. We've been taught to do what we're told, when actually, it's us who are supposed to tell the government what WE want them to write into law. Again, the precedent is already written in law as this is how it used to be in the 80's. What changed? Nothing changed but the greed of insurance co's so much so that they are willing to commit illegal acts.
