Author Topic: Some perspective... another reason why I love my Bandit (Read 3647 times)

Out of curiousity I got an insurance rate quote on progressive.com for an '05 GSXR1000 (I live in Los Angeles). The quote they gave me was an anual premium of $6879.00.

I have a perfect record and 10 years' riding experience as well. I'll stick with my $207.00 annual premium.

Is that a reason why you love your B4 or why I am glad I don't live in Cali?!?!?!

(that's 2 shots at CA this week. I should stop

)

We'll revisit this subject when winter comes and you all are shoveling your snow.

Snow? What snow? It might[/i] snow once or twice for a couple of inches and hang around for a couple-three days. If I want snow, I have to go to the mountains to get it. (FWIW - the US record for snowfall goes between Mt Baker & Mt Rainier, both in WA.) Winters are pretty mild down here on the coast.

Plenty of rain though...
