My Spyder fixed costs in Quebec

[grumpybob]

Looks like the less time, in months, you have to ride the more it costs.

:agree:

A good example of what happens when governments take over insurance. Are you folks down here watching?

you got to be kidding! why so much on the insurance? what do you pay on cars?:dontknow:

On my 2,000 dollar car with minium coverage i pay $1600 a year - on my $20,000 + Spyder with full coverage i pay $1000.00 a year :hun:

Got my registration renewal in the mail yesterday. Compulsory medical insurance is part of it.

Registration: $42.50
Insurance contribution: $468.60
Tax on this insurance: $42.18
Administrative fee: $4.25

Grand total for yearly registration: $557.53

The above is just to ride it out of your driveway.

Private insurance to cover the Spyder is another $270.

Annual drivers' licence fee is almost $200

Grand total of $1027 before any riding & we only get 7 months of riding weather, 2 of which are miserable. Grrrr !

I think some other provinces charge even more :banghead:

Rant over.

This is pretty well exactly what I pay! Thought the insurance was pretty decent, but the rest hurts!:yikes:

Your not all wrong several provinces (you call them states) do have goverment insurance just not Ontario. Goverment Insurance really doesn't seem to save a ton to be honest, I mean what's the chances that the goverment could possibly run something and actually be efficient? Lol.......:roflblack:

Health Insurance we do have, an open money pit that is bleeding our country dry, slowly but surely.

Not to get too political here but I envy you and your government run insurance. :bowdown: Here in the states we pay through the nose for our health insurance and God help you if you have a pre-existing condition. Thankfully, my only pre-existing condition is I'm crazy as a loon! And I have a real bad case of Spyderitis!

For sure, our real challenge is how in the heck are we going to afford to keep paying for it? It is something our country puts a "must have" priority on but man we keep losing good paying jobs (manufacturing) replacing them with low paying retail jobs. No make no money no pay the taxes? Hmm then what?

Actually what the heck was this thread about, I think we got off track a little...............sorry:roflblack:
