Murphy's Law

One very annoying thing about the crowns in sask is
that their coffers are raided by the government and
surplus's are put into the general revenue pool,so
rates are not a function of need.

Criminal imo.

Charlie, there are two old adages among two wheel
riders. 1. It's not a matter of if you ever have a
wreck, it's when. 2. When you're riding on a bike,
you're not just driving for yourself, but for everyone
around you as well. If you're looking at a long
distance tourer, I'd recommend a Vulcan Voyager
ABS. Reasonable price, Cadillac ride, great wind and
rain protection, all the creature comforts and
outstanding performance and reliability. I nearly
bought a Harley dresser, but it was way more top
heavy and hard to move around at parking lot
speeds. And 9 grand more. As for insurance, I used
to be with Jevco, but my broker (a rider himself)
suggested I switch to Echelon, save $150 and get
better coverage. Ride safe and keep the shiny side
up!

In university I took a cab from the Montreal bus
station to the train station, about a 5 minute drive. The
driver hit three other cars along the way, never even
slowed down. Pretty typical.

One trucking company in AB has 550 drivers and
they are on the verg of being shut down for non
compliance. 40,000$ in fines. Government
auditors walk in the office and want to see log
books, BOL's and fuel receipts. Commercial rated
3/4 tonnes that went into BC and bought fuel (13
times in one month cost 25,000$ For 3 or 4
months there looking at every piece of paper we
hand in. If we're not over 85% pass rate were shut
down. Trucks from Calgary to Cold lake to
Grande Prairie to High Level. Burning over
1,000,000$/month in diesel

If the motorcycle insurance rates go up in
Saskatchewan like SGI wants, there will be some
very cheap bikes for sale, with little old ladies
driving them, Pars, got a helmet and leathers?

[sumdumguy]

No-no pushed the button too fast, I meant cool
chicks.

I love my pedal bike too much and by the time I
drive like a wild woman with the Rhino, plus walk
a mile, my time allotment is gone. Maybe I
should take some UFC training. Pars

On top of insurance is a registration increase of 2-3%. Off these rates is a potential maximum 20% safe driver recognition program rate that is earned over time.

Sask premier Wall indicates he wants SGI to review what it requires to break even as a group/class on motorcycles.
