Title: No insurance for Ducati Post by: jerryz on December 14, 2009, 04:08:24 PM My Ducati S4 in Thailand is now 8 years old and can no longer be insured foranything more than basic Government 3rd party only $16 a year so bike is legal...but no fire, theft,bailbond .or accident cover is now available the insurance companies just wont give that level of cover on anything over 7 years old ......stupid aint it.the bikes worth $14000 here even a 7 year old RR cars would be uninsurable and still worth $500,000.
Only Harleys can get insurance after 7 years of age!!!!!!!!! __________________ MONSTERMAN Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: mitt on December 14, 2009, 05:05:04 PM that's odd.

Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: roy-nexus-6 on December 14, 2009, 05:36:26 PM sweet.. cheap insurance. count your blessings. Not sure how having NO insurance is a blessing... ??? Not sure what the gov is thinking there, Jerrz. Damn shame. Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: ManOrAstro-Man? on December 14, 2009, 05:58:30 PM So what does the $16 cover if it doesn't cover theft or accident?
A little off topic, is there a dealer in Thailand? I think from previous posts, you mentioned you were in Bangkok right? Just wondering where you get it serviced. Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: fastwin on December 14, 2009, 06:40:34 PM You should move. Come here to Texas where most cars on the road don't have the state required insurance anyway. And most of the drivers are illegals from the "South" and have no drivers licenses. Weee, what fun! [bang] I love paying extra for that coverage! :P Where's my stimulus check to cover that? [puke]
Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: Raux on December 14, 2009, 08:15:33 PM ok everyone else passed over it... WHY do Harleys get to be insured after 7 years?
Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: justinrhenry on December 15, 2009, 01:47:06 AM ok everyone else passed over it... WHY do Harleys get to be insured after 7 years? thailand is sucking up to the u.s. Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: Betty on December 15, 2009, 02:29:50 AM ok everyone else passed over it... WHY do Harleys get to be insured after 7 years? Because its the same bike you buy today? Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: Drjones on December 15, 2009, 03:28:47 AM Because its the same bike you buy today? and Harley's largest group of employees are all in MaRkItinG. Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: lauramonster on December 15, 2009, 03:43:13 AM can you purchase supplemental insurance? You know, you set the value (or an appraisal sets the value) and you pay the premium for that amount?
Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: jerryz on December 15, 2009, 05:58:29 AM The $16 Government insurance cover 3rd party its mandatory ...but for Fire,Theft ,bailbonds,comprehensive and medical cover you have to go private ..and the companies are idiots.
HDs a worshiped as gods so they get special treatment...ha ha Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: erkishhorde on December 15, 2009, 06:12:14 AM That sucks but when you're riding a 13 yr old bike like some of us, insurance will just total you're bike anyway even if you just tip over at a stop sign. :-[
Title: Re: No insurance for Ducati Post by: ab on December 15, 2009, 06:26:34 PM HD is worshiped everywhere in the world. By bikers and especially by non-bikers. You just can't explain to anyone that Harley isn't the bestest bike in the world... I blame films and television and general ignorance but the Harley obsession runs deeeep. Hmmm this reminds me, maybe it's high time I drop my insurance to liability only. [threadjack] Let's face it, real riders appreciate Triumph.

Pretend that as you do this, you are paying insurance.
hopefully you'll have enough saved up before anything happens to cover the cost. if nothing happens, you've got beautiful forced savings. if something does happens, you are better off since you planned ahead. |
