I live in Alberta where an Atv license and liability insurance are required when you are on public lands where most of us ride, as a result I carry liability, fire and theft but not collision. If you ride on private property insurance and plates are not required. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do these fit the Defender Max HD8 2019? Gorilla Automotive 71611N Acorn Wheel Locks (10mm x 1.25 Thread Size) by Gorilla Automotive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until it became run by the community instead of, as it once was, the biker community. My thoughts were not relevant to what can and cannot be done but rather the advisability of theft and collision insurance The concern I have is the likelihood of needing either. My local CanAm dealer here in Mexico does not seem to have information on theft probability nor basic prevention tools like wheel locks. So I reached out to the Can-Am community for their experiences. I’m guessing, based on lack of response, security is mot an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m double covered this way and if it would happen to get stolen somehow someway while we were out riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an email from my insurance agent moments ago letting me know theft/liability or any other kind of insurance is not available for my Defender. To top it all off the Gorilla Locking Wheel Nuts will not fit the defender rims as no room for the lock and the socket to install. Glad to hear a couple of you are concerned about the security of their vehicle from theft. I guess the old saying about concern not being activated until the horse has left the barn has a ring of truth to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one company would touch it and it ain’t cheap. Being a 1000 seemed to be some of the prob. I think I pay more for this defender insurance then my Ram. And that’s not a lol kinda statement.

I have a whole 1.5 hours on it from this weekend. Not sure where you live but I got a policy with liability, PIP and comp (theft, fire, etc.) from Progressive. It was less than $300/year and also covers my trailer. CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
