Good morning. I'm wondering if you could give me some info on the following:
INSURANCE: you have any suggestions for getting insurance for the Burgman 400 ? Certain companies?
MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT: I ran into a snag when I went to sign up for a motorcycle class in California (although I will register it in Oregon were I have my residence... Confusing?) Anyway, because of personal reasons it would be very inconvenient for me at this time to take a motorcycle safety course in Oregon. In California, I wanted to use my own Scooter to take the course because the motorcycles require shifting, which I think would become a deterrent while I did the maneuvers!... Too much to concentrate on because I have no clue about shifting! (By the way, Oregon will accept an endorsement that I obtain in California.) California rules, according to the training folks, say to use the Scooter for the training course, two of the three following must be true about the Scooter:
1.it must be 350 cc or less (the Burgman is 385 cc)
2.it the must be 30 inches or less from the ground (the Burgman qualifies for this)
3. It must weigh 400 pounds or less (the Burgman weighs 405 pounds)
(No wonder California has so many financial and bureaucratic problems! ) Am I'm missing something here? hey Arnold Schwarzenegger, we need you to terminate this BS!
I don't know why I have so many reservations about shifting a motorcycle... when I had loggers come to my property to remove some of the trees, I asked to drive their D6 CATs, even though I had no previous experience. In the day I was helping with the logging and grading my roads! Frankly, I think maneuvering with a Scooter is more difficult than driving those big cats! Like the cat Skinner said, "you can't heard em!" Anyway, if you have any reflections on this issue, I'm open to your thoughts! Thanks much... Again!
