    In San Diego, CA I pay about $130 U.S. dollars for insurance.
    Our system is different a bit.
    My scooter is covered for loss up to $1000
    Collision covers the other guy up to $300,000 U.S.
    My personal medical coverage is up to $300,000 U.S.

    Legally I could eliminate the scooter coverage and the medical and pay about $50/year U.S.
    I value my bones a little more.

    I used to live in Los Angeles, Los Feliz district. Highest insurance rates in the U.S. I paid 5X what I currently pay. Some places just cost too damn much to live. I moved 15 miles, and saved hundreds.
    I guess you pay extra to live on the same block as Boris Karloff's old house. Not worth it to me, I left the district.

    Damn few benefits for turning 60, reduced insurance is the exception.

    Does seem to vary a lot. I'm 52 ride a 50cc sym symply. Paid £61 for bog standard tpf&t. My 10 years no claims on a car didn't count so I'm starting from scratch. Excess for fire and theft £350! Scooter only cost me £1500 new so not a lot in the big scheme of things. Wonder what I'll pay this year?
