Title: Alright... which one of you works at CERN? Post by: Amlethae on June 11, 2010, 06:43:04 PM So we all know there are pleanty of warnings on everything these days...
"Caution HOT" on McDonalds coffee cups... "Caution: Choking Hazard" on the strings you use to pull up the blinds on your windows... All to save the asses of the companies from which you buy your products from... because one person wasn't smart enough to know these things a priori and decided to sue the company... So why does Ducati have to have this written in their Roadside Assistance Manual?: Quote Page 5 under "General Provisions" ... In addition, Services shall not be performed in case of: 1) any Events occurred as a result of: - competition racing and associated practice training, - war, revolution, riot or uprising, plundering, sabotage, vandalism and terrorist activities, piracy, strike, earthquakes, weather events qualifying as natural disasters, - action of governmental Authorities or force majeure cases, - direct and indirect consequences of nuclear transmutation, as well as of radiation caused by the artificial acceleration of atomic particles; ...

Title: Re: Alright... which one of you works at CERN? Post by: He Man on June 12, 2010, 02:43:31 AM thats because they dont want to tow ur bike to the nearest dealer if u work near CERN. Cause u know, LHC = mini blackhole that emits nuclear radiation and will eat the earth

Post by: mattc7 on June 14, 2010, 05:43:06 AM I'm more surprised about the racing comment Racing voids the warranty, so why wouldn't it void your free roadside Title: Re: Alright... which one of you works at CERN? Post by: sbrguy on June 14, 2010, 06:52:02 AM lol good to know.. don't park your bike directly next to the nearest particle acceerator or nuclear reactor.

Title: Re: Alright... which one of you works at CERN? Post by: Drunken Monkey on June 14, 2010, 11:44:20 AM Not to rain on the fun, but I always thought that was the magic "Yeah, if there's a nuclear war or reactor meltdown we ain't covering shit." clause.
Title: Re: Alright... which one of you works at CERN? Post by: DCXCV on June 17, 2010, 06:51:12 AM I still can't believe they don't cover plundering or piracy. I mean, if viking hordes descend on me and they split my rear tire with an ax I just get left sitting there? And if I have my bike out for a nice pleasure cruise across the bay after riding around Vietnam a-la Top Gear they won't cover me if I'm hit by cannon? That's rude.
