I don't think so....for minimum coverage on my bike for a 19 year old rider, it's $231 for the ENTIRE year. Even upping it to maximum everything, it still is under $1000 for the year. (Note....I ride a 28 year old bike, if you're riding a brand new Ducati or Hayabusa, your costs are probably going to be a lot higher...)



Yes and no. If you hit something, you're dead for sure. However, if the bike slides out from under you, and you are just sliding on the road, a helmet and good jacket give you a pretty good chance of walking away without serious injuries.

I'm not American. We have different insurance. I don't know any numbers, but my boss literally was licensed this past weekend and talked about how expensive it is relative to him driving his 'burban.

Suprising how different it is in Canada.

I want one of these:

Wearable Motorcycle

I read that article. It's an interesting concept but it seems uncomfortable and not very functional for distance riding. I was interested in the name of MBTI, of viewing the number of SPs who would respond to this thread. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, that I share Gray's sentiments.

I think that there are a lot of Introverts who enjoy cycle riding. How many ways can you travel hundreds of miles in the company of others without having to speak?

What appeals to you about the Royal Enfield?

What appeals to you about the Royal Enfield?

The look, the price, the fuel economy, the fact that it's different.

That it can be maintained with a basic set of hand tools.

 

[Pink Lime]

It does look unique and simple. I hope you get one soon. Do you currently ride?

 

[Oberon]

No, although I have a good friend who would let me learn on his Suzuki Savage. I would very much enjoy the Enfield; I generally enjoy all things retro.

I don't think I'll be getting one anymore. Not now anyways. Gonna be deploying soon and I don't need the extra bills...

That it can be maintained with a basic set of hand tools.

The only things I used while rebuilding my Honda were 2 sockets and a socket wrench, screwdrivers, and an impact wrench/impact driver. (28 years later, having never been removed, some of the stainless steel bolts required more force than I had..). If there hadn't been stuck bolts/screws, I could have conceivably taken apart almost the entire bike with the tool kit under the seat.
