Right, all you squidly twats, stop bloody crashing on trackdays

**jrandom** · 25th January 2008, 12:50

Just been reviewing Betty's insurance prior to MotoTT tomorrow, and I found out that all policies taken out with Star since the beginning of 2008 have a $2,000 excess on their trackday cover.

Dave at Kiwibike commented to me this morning that all the NZ motorcycle insurers will probably stop offering trackday cover within the next year.

Why?

Trackdays used to run once in a blue moon, and were genuine 'rider training' occasions. That's what the insurance companies had in mind when they added cover for them as a policy benefit.

Nowdays, in large part thanks to the efforts of this fine forum, I suspect, every man and his dog takes his rice-burning crotch rocket to Puke, Taupo or Manfeild at every possible opportunity, and drags his mates along for some unofficial racing and clowning around.

Yes, I know y'all race each other and practice stunting at trackdays. The 'rider training' thing is bullshit, let's not beat around the bush.

I'd just like to say a hearty 'thanks for nothing' to all you cunts who took advantage of your insurers' naivety and raped your bikes around racetracks without heed to their value or your own lack of skill through '06 and '07 in an expensive fairing-splintering free-for-all.

I hope you enjoyed yourselves, because the party's about to end. If you want to keep playing on racetracks, you're going to have to start paying for it yourselves.

Did you really think the insurance companies would keep picking up the tab for your intentional pushing of your machines beyond their and your limits?

Dumbarses.

wouldnt that be contradicting your rant, by having to claim on your insurance for having an accident at a trackday?

Theres a start/finish line on every NZ road with full insurance.

...oh wait, you dont like 'those cunts' either.

Yup. All policies that have been current since before 01/01/08 get their standard excess applied to trackday cover. All new policies get the $2K excess on the track.

A GSX1400 at 180kph is just like a trials bike, really...

Don't tell me you've been clawing the walls again?

And how's the facial hair situation?..

Kidding aside, it is proven that people' s aggressivity tends to increase with the full moon, and as a by product, the amount of accidents.

I agree with the sentiment of this thread though, but I won't use the C word...or proclaim wanting to run over people. It is a real bastard though $2000 excess!!!

This is why it has been scientifically proven (by men in white coats) that you are universally loved, and that I am only loved by 63.7% of respondents.
