SPEEDY69 Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 As with any insurance, it depends what the items are worth to you. I had my bikes insured for fire & theft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 If he has a normal commercial van policy the contents isn’t normally covered. If he insured through someone like Doodsons who are racing insurance specialists and might give additional cover for bikes but spares unlikely.

From experience especially the riders in the start of their career tend to put that money in to "bling" or other machinery. You need about 4-6 years of track craft, a missed season or two down to injury before they see the light that the 1k spent on insurance might be a good thing...

Bling and a sign written van are the most important bits of kit., You are 100% right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Maybe, and it's always wise to say after the event, if a rider is parked up in a hotel car park over night with a van full of kit, they could ask the hotel management to park near the entrance and/or wheel clamp the vehicle... just saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or wire up the van to the mains, to give the thief a nice hefty belt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day you could happily do that... in the crazy world we live in today you'd have to put warnings up all over the place informing the would be toe rag that they might get hurt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
