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

....or 20% of the value of the bike. $2000 is the "cap"...or so I understand it from Dave at Kiwi Bike.

Any queries give him a call on 0800 629253

Aaaahh, now that definitely puts a different spin on things...thank you for that!

Admitedly, I don't go fast enough to bin, but you never know eh?

[jrandom]

Sure no problem, when you stop being ham-fisted and up my ACC levies, don't try to deny it we have all seem the photo's.

Nicely pointed out, sir.

However, the likelihood of me highsiding on the road and breaking my thumb has always been a carefully-calculated part of the ACC levies.

The likelihood of a bunch of testosterone-addled monkeys throwing their gixxers into gravel traps at 'rider training days' and getting full write-offs so they could have a new one for the following weekend, however, was entirely unknown to the poor bastards at the insurance companies who originally offered cover for such occasions.

[mstriumph]

Good.

Anyone bins in front of me tomorrow in a way that looks expensive, I swear I'm gonna run the cunt over.

am sure they wouldn't dare
seeing as how it brings out your feminine side an all .....

gotta say - am OVERWHELMED by your eloquence, though, mr random, sir!!

I would be very suprised if they have no idea what really goes on at track 'rider training days' and I would suspect they would have calculated that into the premiums.

However I would agree with the idea that because the frequency has increased then so would the risk/premiums.

[mstriumph]

oooooooooch - that SMARTS!!!

I suspect that your confidence is misplaced, and that the insurance companies did indeed imagine that they were insuring stately processions of safety-conscious motorcyclists picking up hints and tips from various wise old hands being paid handsomely by the hour to pass on their expertise.

oh touche! (sorry Jr, but she's got you there! )

Oh, you know you don't want to go there girlfriend!!!

[HenryDorsetCase]

I'd rather drop a bike at a track day than on the road any day!

...and I have :blush:

[jrandom]

I know.

So do your insurers.

That's why they don't want to pay for it.

Having never had trackday cover and the fact you spoke to someone about it just today I will take your word for it.....there is your argument for you

[avgas]

Haha classic, havent had this good a laugh in sometime.
Mind due - what did they really expect.
Track day insurance should just be called moron insurance, as i could not think of an easier place to kill a motorbike. Look at the insurance on a 250 learner, now make that squid older riding a K7/ZX10/R1........bigger dumber mess

[more_fasterer]

Well, I was gonna do my best to not bin tomorrow, and try to learn something from the experience and the tutelage of others - I even posted up asking for help.

I even asked for people to give me advice if they felt it warranted in the track day thread!


But I've changed my mind. Just for you JRandy, I will go straight onto the track, try (and pathetically fail) at pulling a wheelie, and run off at turn 2. Then I'll claim on my insurance and buy a Gixer



(p.s. talk to you tomorrow about the SRAD)

BTW...Highly recommend Kiwi Bike!

It'll just end up like Europe.

Take numberplates off bike. Fit different coloured decals or plastics. Crash bike at trackday. Take bike home, refit numberplate and plastics. Claim on insurance.
