Well when your insurance goes up because you're paying for idiots like these who get hit by cars, it will all add to your debt...but on the upside when they get wiped out there will be more seat clamps going on ebay from the mangled wrecks of whats left of their bikes.
Off topic, but it's more to do with insurance companies trying to shaft each other, by inflating costs to both increase their revenues, and shaft the competition....
Mate of mine had his 3 series written off, ins company paid out, hire car, all find and dandy, then 6 months later he gets called as a witness in a dispute between his and the other guys insurance company, over costs on a £1500 payout that totalled nearly £10,000, including £6000 for the hire car for 2 weeks.... And it was only a Golf!
Basically, because they know the claim will be paid by the 3rd party insurance, your insurance company smashes them for inflated costs. It guarantees them revenue, and means their competitors get increased overheads.
All this bullshit in the media about uninsured drivers, teenagers, car crime and whiplash is a fallacy. The insurance industry put it out there to cover up their own underhandedness, and we and the media just lap it up
Was even in the house of commons not so long ago, or somesuch
Anyway, back on topic.
I doubt there are any parts on a trackbike/fixie/courier/hipster posing appendage that would even fit my bikes
