Nice ride man! Whats the riding season like up there in Canada? Or should I say how many days do you get to ride without worrying about the next snow comming?

Thanks for the compliment 06HD.

Around here, we start the riding season May and it will go till October if we are lucky. Of course each year is a little different from the other. I pay $1200 per year to insure the bike, so a guy has to be pretty serious to invest in a bike.

Take care man!

Most companies have a plan that will let you slide during the winter months as long as the vehicle isn't in use!

Here in Manitoba, we have only one choice for vehicle insurance. Seems to be working well for the most part.

What those slippery bastards have done to us bikers is this: we pay the bulk in our riding months and while the bike sits all winter long, it still has full insurance in case something happens to it.

April-August I pay $230 per month =$1150
Sept-March I pay $7 per month =$49

-----------------
$1199 per year :sick:

For those premiums I would put chains on my ride and go all year! Then at the end of the year drop it off a cliff and have them buy me a new one for all the money they are getting from ya. :devil:
 
I insure 3 bikes thru harley and pay 300 for the year for all three, if I just do 2 it costs more.

Hey guys....to change the subject a bit, what are you using for sun glasses while riding? I've been thinking of buying a pair of HD shades that will tint automatically. I believe they also have some sort of padding or wind block around the edge? Any suggestions for me? Thanks. :confused5:

I just got a pair of Wiley X. The are the LA (light adjusting) with the removeable foam cups. The shield the wind from your eyes. So far I like them.

Nice bike man! I love the ape hangers. Don't your hands fall asleep while riding?
Click to expand...

Nah, I am tall, 6'2" and 280 lbs. they are right at shoulder height. they are 18" tall and 1" tubing. The stockers were mini apes at 14" I think. All I know is my back does't hurt from scrunching down anymore. The thing with the apes is people love em or hate em. I still need to change out the rubber bushings and put in the polt ones. the bars have a little more movement than I care for. well maybe not the poly bushings have been in my garage for a year now. I also ran all the wiring internal. It looks real clean but was a pain in the a s s. I had to stager all the splices to make them fit.
