I just got this email sent to me from TeamMoto and just wanted to share. Its a tyre and rim insurance policy that Australian Dealer Insurance are providing to customers of TeamMoto.


Why Wouldn’t You?
How many times have you gone to jump onto your pride and joy to go for a quick blast only to find out that you have a flat tyre? Or worse still be out on a 400 km loop of your favourite roads and get some road debris stuck in your tyre, which causes it to promptly go flat as a tack? We have all been there to.
Unfortunately you cannot carry a spare tyre on your back when you go for a ride so it makes sense to cover yourself and give yourself peace of mind when you go out for a well planned road trip.

Our Tyre & Wheel policy not only covers your bike for any tyre repair or replacement that you need in the 3 years that you are covered for, but also in the event that you damage your rim by running over something on the road or by hitting a kerb, this policy will allow you to get the rim either repaired or replaced. What more could you ask for?

This policy offers an Australia wide cover so when you are on your big road trip to the Island or further afar you can have peace of mind that this policy has you and your bikes back.

Some things to think about:

You should never plug a front tyre puncture. This policy will get you a replacement front tyre.

In some cases you cannot repair a rear tyre if the hole is too close to the sidewall resulting in you having to replace the tyre. This policy will get you a replacement rear tyre.

Some rims are not damaged enough to warrant replacing, but the average cost of repairing a rim properly is approximately $500 per rim. This policy will cover the costs of repair or replacement of the rim up to the value of $2,500.

Why Wouldn’t You Want This Peace Of Mind.
• Up to $2,500 cover
• Unlimited claims
• 3 years coverage
• Covers tyre puncture repair or replacement tyre
• Covers rim repair or replacement rim
• Accommodation costs
• Towing costs
• Taxi costs
• Australia wide cover

You can have all this peace of mind for the equivalent of $3.80 per week

Tyre and rim insurance policy? Do they also have one in case your pen runs out of ink? Or how about one that covers your jeans in case you rip them?

Obviously I just don't understand the motorcycle market ...

I don't understand why you're being so negative Captain? This is actually something useful and if you were unfortunate enough to get a flat in the middle of woop woop and your tyre had a slice in it and had to be replaced, you've already saved yourself a couple of hundred dollars.

Not to mention, if you needed to get a tow - obviously that isn't cheap either (not sure if they have a limit on KMs for the towing to be covered).

Obviously it doesn't interest me as I don't ride on the road, but definately think it's a good idea.


Cheers,
Matt

Definately a good idea especially for those that use their bikes as daily commuters $197.60 for a years cover isn't a bad idea...
At the moment i'm still wondering how to get cheaper comprehensive insurance.
The problem with bike's is that it all adds up end up costing heaps...dammit!

Sorry if I sounded negative, didn't mean to. Like I said, I obviously don't understand (much of) the motorcycling market. It does seem that there's demand for this, so I applaud the insurer for their business acumen.

My own view of insurance is that you pay only for what you really, really cannot afford to lose (usually house and car), otherwise it's the same principle as gambling - the house always wins.
Like you said Cry, you can insure for absolutely EVERYTHING, and yes there will be no unforseen expenses but of course you'd end up paying more for it, a lot more.

I wonder how much the excess would be, otherwise it would get abused and people could get new tyres cheaply.
