thats all very well John,
but John, what if you don't have that 'spare cash' to do what you say????? Don't tell me that what I would save not going fully comp would have paid for it, because it doesn't work like that!!!! :}
If I had had Fully Comp, I would have got something near the market value of the bike. I could then have easily bought another bike with that money.
With the NTV the damage was basically quite minor. Handlebars, light, couple of indicators and the clocks (which although expensive, in the realm of things were not) I think the total bill was around ?300, but then the clocks were a birthday/xmas present, so it was one bill I could easily make.
The difference for me between Fully Comp and ThPF&Th is very little. Believe me when I insured the NTV I checked. I just wanted the piece of mind that if I did bin it like the CBR I would get something back.
I know where you are coming from John, but I do think it depends on whether
A. You have the spanner skills or you know someone who has
B. YOu have friends who can help you out.
C. You have the spare dosh to be able to put it back together again.
The latter being the huge factor for me and a bike!!!!
I have pretty much given up the biking. As sadly what accidents I have had prey on my mind too much whilst riding. To the extent where it is almost bordering on fear. The thought of pain and I remember it well!! the thought of having to fork out more dosh, as I know I will bin again!!!
I have resigned myself more than happily to doing track days. What money I save on insurance and tax I can use to pay for them. I have access to two track bikes so I am pleased R#? My accidents have always been with regard to other traffic on the road, and although bikes are on a track we are all going the same way....................aren't we :dunno: :}
Anyway thats all for another thread, I am highjacking :t
