The voices in his head provide direction in his actions.  Why else would he drink martinis before bed time? :o

Good point.

Possibly, but on the brighter side, the wife agrees with it being a martini night...all is right with the world.

Mine called me just before I left work telling me she was going out to get more tonic water (for the gin, of course) which in my house means the exact opposite, i.e. that the boys have been acting up. "Just wait 'til your father gets home" kind of thing.

I remember that.  It meant dad was going to cut some switches for us when he got home....ah the good ole days on a SAC AF base in the mid-60s.  Good times.

Full coverage on the Concours is double full coverage on the Voyager even though the Voyager is worth $5k more.  For now I keep full coverage on the Connie and Voyager because they are primary transportation. 

I prefer not to have full coverage on the bikes because it helps me ride accordingly.  Less willing to take risks.

For whatever reason I don't think value comes into their equation which is odd, I have more $ into my ZG than my Gixxer but yet the Gixxer has the higher premium of the 2...  :-\

Well that explains everything.  I was wondering about that monkey on my back.

In about three more payments I will be thru paying my loan down. Of course I have had to keep full coverage but I was wondering what the thoughts were as far as keeping full coverage or cutting back? Mine is a 2002.

As an insurance agent for over 40 years my answer has always been "Until you feel confortable without it"

If you have to ask the question you are still not confortable without it.  So if I were you I'd keep it until (you don't care one way or the other if you have it.)  CK
