admitting you have a problem

[NAKID]

this has taken an ugly ugly turn.

i called to add the triumph to my policy with usaa and i was sent to progressive. no warning, i got nothing i the mail, no e-mails were sent. they jsut stopped writing policies for bikes.
WTF #1

for less coverage i was quoted almost twice as much.
WTF#2

it now looks like they will stop renewing policies that are already there. once again, no warnng, no calls, e-mails, letters, nothing.
The whole reason i moved everything i could to them was because they were cheap and easy to deal with. now i have to go out and deal with the other companies that rape me for my chosen method of conveyance.
WTF #3


i'm ready to hurt someone now.

Apparently they stopped writing them a couple years ago. But to dump your existing policies to Progressive? Screw that. USAA is my auto/homeowner/renter insurance. But because of their stupid moto rule, I am insured through Foremost. They are very easy to work with (owned by Farmer's) and priced very reasonably...

You got plates already?

damn those footprints in the snow are huge

I remember when I got my 1st bike a few years ago. Found out USAA is farming out new policies to Progressive. I was told at the time that if you're stationed overseas, you can still get USAA (although not in Japan - different Insurance reqs). And, when you get back, they'd be grandfathered in. Now, I'm wondering if that'll still hold true or if ALL of it is going to be pushed through progressive. Damn...

yeah, plates go on at the dealer.

we has big feets. 

[ducpainter]

we has big feets. 

'cuz he's 9 feet tall.

[KnightofNi]

'cuz he's 9 feet tall.

actually, i'm nto that tall. my fathers side has some clown in it. the feet is a recessive trait that skips 2 generations.

i'm just glad i didn't get the nose.

[KnightofNi]

so apparently when the revs go past 6k the engine turns into a snarling beast.


the throttle is so sensitive and addicting.



this is also the first liter bike that i have spent more than a few hrs on.
maybe it's just the engine size , but DAM THAT FEELS GOOD!

That's how things were with my Suzuki GS1150E.  I LOVED winding it up on an exit ramp and just feeling that blast of power when the tach swept past 5K and it loaded up on the cam.  It was WHEEEEEEEE  [moto] every time.

Glad you're enjoying it

haha, as i learned this mornining coming off of an exit ramp trying to get over to my turn lane.

DO NOT romp on the throttle in first when it's at 6-7K. the front launched skyward. i'll admit that i puckered.

i feel like i've moved up to a big boy bike.

[KnightofNi]

so it's fully past break in bow and i got some wide open road to play on.

i pulled a small roll on at around 70 in 2nd gear (it seems to be geared pretty tall)

the max speed is showing 124.3 mph and i still had 2 gears and half the powerband to go.



what is the point of having a 1000cc bike for the street again?

For doing 2nd gear wheelies at highway speeds, I guess?
Maybe a pillion and a bunch of luggage will slow it down? or not.
