All insurance is a rip-off, until you need it.

Would you seriously run a brand new bike on anything other than fully comp insurance?

For the first year certainly but you might not think it as important a few years down the line. Plus not everyone can afford fully comp on even a new bike (even if they should).

Of course free insurance helps!

Yes and did. I could afford the bike but I couldn't afford to pay 1/3rd of the value in insurance! The insurance would have cost me not far off per month than the bike did!

It still cost a fortune TPFT but I figured that the extra grand that fully comp would have cost went a long way towards repairs.

Would I do it now? No but then I earn lots more and insurance (full comp on a bike 4 groups higher than the SV) is 1/5th of what it was then for TPFT...
