If I hadn't lost my garage, I'd be up for getting it. Unfortunately, I can't have the motorcycles in the condo garage without a plate, even if they are covered by the multiple collector

That's the stupidest rule I have ever heard.

But the un-plated bikes would be insured through the multi-plate regardless of whether they're wearing the plate or not, right?

Strata living ain't living.

 

[BigD_83]

It depends. I have been led to believe they wouldn't be.

I believe they are insured while on the road, but are not covered in the context of PLPD in the condo, i.e. should they cause damage to person or property. I do have to check into that to confirm, but the reality is I can't realistically keep multiple motorcycles in the parkade as we only have one parking stall, and I can't work on anything. There are some battles not worth taking on.

Yes, I agree about condo living. If we could afford to not do it and live somehere near to work, we would.

You may be right that they're uninsured while not wearing the plate unless you opt for optional storage coverage. There's a discussion ongoing over at the BC Classics bike forum on this very topic.

Seems that you need extra coverage for storage on top of your collector multi-plate. Maybe. It's government so it has to be confusing by nature.

 

[BigD_83]

Yes...and combine government red tape with Strata rules and it just becomes a hot mess.

However, after reading through that short thread, I should probably follow up with my insurance broker about storage insurance. We've done it with our SUV, but it still needed to wear a plate, and I'm unclear how it would work in a multi-vehicle situation.

ICBC is not exactly the most transparent organization out there. My 40% discount seemed to disappear this year, too, judging by the 40% rise in my insurance (what was that about saving?)

Just got my Truck insurance renewal... it went up about 5%

Oops.

Sorry about the thread hijack. That doesn't happen (much) around here. Let's try to steer back in the right direction and take the insurance discussion elsewhere.

I guess you are upset? Lol

You have to take into account where it was hijacked from - an 11ED! RED!!

Upset? Not so much, but definitely resigned to being given the bum's rush on many fronts in the lower mainland.

As they say, first-world problems...

Welcome to the site. Please keep us in the loop on your rebuild process so we can have something to read and look at through the winter months.

The brakes callipers I am sure are seized due to the amount of effort it takes to get them to stop the bike however these are all of the things that will keep me busy in my therapy shop this winter.

Welcome to the forum.

Just a heads up you can fit twinpot calipers to that bike... there is a link in my sig (I do have brackets on my shelf currently). You can likely secure parts for little more than the cost of rebuild kits I would think and the newer style caliper are still new enough that they arrive in usable condition out of the box in my experience.
