  i believe that any owner of snap-on or mac or the other big name tool companies are in hock to them .. i know i am. the prices we have paid for some of these tools.. i could have bought a new race bike for what i have tied up in tools and have a few friends that could have bought really nice cars for what they have. boy are we suckers.

Himmm......

I remember driving at 16.......

There's a reason for the different in rates.   ;)  Although it's pretty painful when you're young.

I tried to insure my racebikes for theft/liability but my current agent said that they would not insure them. I was able to get additional insurance on my trailer, but if the bikes get stolen, I am SOL.

Talk with a different agent. My STate Farm guy said they will insure OHV (off highway vehicles, ie dirt bikes, race vehicles) for theft and damage when NOT involved in competitions. They insure race cars here all the time.

When I was 16 I bought a brand new Yamaha DT175 ($999). Insurance was less than $100 per year (ISTR something like $60).

The size/type of bike can have a significant effect on your insurance rate.

When I bought my race bike I tried to insure it for theft only but they told me they don't insure race bikes.  I tried to explain that its just for theft but they were being stupid.  So I waited a couple months and called about insurance on a GSXR and it was only $9/month for full coverage so I  just did that.  It was the only way to get theft, and its so cheap that I would have been stupid not to.

Check your policy, some require that the vehicle is registered - it has a valid license plate.

Mine are insured for theft only, like in the trailer or in the gargage. Makes sense to me... ;)

I can't remember that far back. Was I ever 16??
