RE: [ST] Costs of riding

[Rich Lane <rlane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I live in MA and the rates are set by the state each year.  There is
no competition between companies.  Also I really feel that the company's
in this part of the country don't know how to classify different
makes/models
of bikes.  My '99 Blazer actually costs less to insure.

I'm 31, no points, have 100/300 insurance to cover my house, have passenger
insurance, and full collision on my 2K-ST and I pay $550 with a 3 month
layup.  Who did you make mad for $1200 a year?!?
