Insurance and track days?

[Broomrider]

AMCC's ART Days are actually training days, not just track days.

But, from Graham's report on 17 January day:

"We had Star Insurance ‘come out’ stating they have been ‘blind’ testing us at previous events and have declared us ‘Class One’ meaning they will insure you without increased premiums and even discount you premiums after attending our courses."

Dunno what the story is with excesses, though.

I'm pretty much with Shaun on this one... Given the number of bins that happen at track days I'm not too surprised that insurance companies try and wriggle out of covering track days any way they can.

Personally I'm not covered on the track at all, if I write it off it's my fault and my problem. That's why I have a track bike that's not worth much. (that and the R1 scares the bejeesus out of me whe I push it hard...)

still.. under that theroy.. do you also wonder why insurance companies insure bikes in 100km/hr zones? Surely there has been a few written off in this area as well?
