Why no discount for "Advanced Bike Riding skills"
Why is it that insurance companies welcome advanced driving for your tin box and give you a discount; but not for bike schools ?
I went to Michelin Bike School on Saturday 20th (in the rain) and did my first B1 class (have done two C class before), but they wouldn't insure me at all ! Managed to 'negotiate' a R10000 excess for the day (but only under instruction).
But no discount for me, even now that I have improved my riding skills.
Less risk ? They don't think so !
Huh ???
Everybody crashes.
Some get back on and ride again.
Some don't.
Some can't.
methinks your history might be having a bit of a -ve offset...
although, in the general case, the insurers I found that offered special dispensation for certain things turned out to be more expensive anyways for a given policy. I recall when I had a certain rare car, hardly drove it so hunted around for a very limited mileage policy. When I found one, it turned out a couple of hundred quid more than a bog-standard one - so turned out to be no point.
Ried Ritzer insured me for track day, no problem.
Also when I did my advance riding with BMW, ( both my wife and myself )
our insurance dropped buy R200.
Never had a problem with them claiming either.

I'll consider them for my next bike (whenever that happens)...
Looking at doing the advanced BMW course myself - done the proficiency one.

Why don't men grow up ? Because we don't WANT to !!!
