RE: saving cash on insurance when you're young and broke
True, online refreshers help, but I'd argue a structured course has its perks. When I restored my first classic, I took one - picked up subtle risk-avoidance habits I'd overlooked online. Might save more in the long run....
RE: is it worth paying extra for uninsured driver protection in RI?
I get why you're hesitating, but honestly, I'd never skip uninsured motorist coverage - especially around Providence. I've seen way too many close calls cruising my classic around here. Sure, it feels like wasted cash un...
