[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1367179, member: 3828"] Yeah, bike insurance isn't that bad here in NH, even though we are just 45 miles north of Boston they treat us like it's a different world. And for some reason they think I can't ride more than one motorcycle at a time, so as you add more bikes on they get progressively cheaper. At one point when my son was still around, I had 4 bikes on the policy and wanted to take one bike off, but that would have actually caused my rate to go up! There are also no sales taxes here either, but there is a sneaky mill-rate tax that is embedded into the registration fee, The mill-rate is factored by the msrp of the machine and the age of it. [B]$[/B]18, 15, 12, 9, 6, or 3 dollars per $1,000 of original list price, as the bike ages. After 6 years it hits minimum $3 and stays the same for the rest of its registered life.

But I'm down to just two bikes these days, and can hardly get out enough on them both to make them both worthwhile, Only about 20k miles last year on the two of them.
