Default I do not how to feel ...

I got my insurance renewal letter yesterday. My premium went from $1,080 a year to $506!!!

I like the idea, but I didn't like the why. I hit two milestones last year. I turned 30 and got married. The guy on the phone called me "low-risk". Does that mean I am boring now?

Cheers to all and ... life starts at 30!!!

PS. The quotas on a GSXR750 went down from $1,600 to about $780. Time to upgrade

it only means you're boring if you think it does. Why would being 30+ and married = boring????

Yes, I'm married and I'm 31.

Wait till you hit 50+, and the kids are gone. You feel like your 20 again, with fewer responsibilities.

Your body disagrees.

CONGRATS ON THE PREMIUM REDUCTION!

Low-risk means just that. Has nothing to do with being boring.

I'm 36 and married w/children and know PLENTY of 15-30yr-olds more boring than I am.

BESIDES you ride motorcycles, there's NO WAY you could be boring!!

Talk about timing. I've got 3 teenage girls (speaks volumes right). Just left the orthodontist a few days ago and he gleefully informed me that my 14 yr old daughter gets to share the 'brace face title' that my 16 yr old has held for the last year. That's right, 2 girls in braces at $6000 per mouth! I don't even entertain the thought of lost accessories... All part of being a parent these days.

Regarding insurance...Did get a big break on comprehensive package because of the bike! CDI covers a few models only and the M50 was one of them. Saved almost $500. More money to help pay for my kids' orthodontists' Lexus.

Grey does ussually equate w/ more green. Buy some Just for Men.
