The problem here in Manitoba, is that insurance is public, it's owned by the government, and the agency has a monopoly ... it's also a top earner...
Yeah, I realize that ... that's why I want to get a set for my '02 now as I think that's the oldest model of VFR they're stocking these days....
Helibar Group Buy - Anyone? (potentially Apex now) Anyone interested in getting a group buy going for some Helibars?
Welcome to the board! Sounds like you've got some cool bikes in your stable!
Haha! We're kind of odd like that, right?? :) Ouch. :( I'll be thinking of you tonight when I take my VFR out for another rip. :P That said, a...
If you can find me a job that pays similarly out there, and some affordable housing .... I think I could convince my wife. :)
Nowhere else to move ... it isn't much better across the country .... unless you move to the East coast where they get so much snow that it piles...
