Bummer. I guess that's a good criteria to bear in mind when shopping for your next bike.
How is it running?

I always check with my insurance agent before I purchase any motor vehicle.
Some vehicles cost much more to insure than others. 8OSpud

My ranger costs more than my car for just basic liability due to the lack of airbags.

I'm glad that we don't have regualr inspections where I live, but the local constables can make you have your vehicle inspected if they choose.
