Its worth the extra in my opinion.
Last year when the copper took me out and drove off my insurers paid me out straight away.
Im still fighting with the police now, If I were only tpft id have to fork out the cash to replace my bike myself.

Yes, but you would be better off not claiming if the damage is about the same as your excess in both cases.

In the 1st you would have to be VERY unlucky to have to claim, on the second if you then slid the bike up the road then you would maybe have a situation where its worth it.

Sorry don't understand TPF&T £X and FULL COMP £X-£40Its a no brainer----take the fully compFull comp covers you for all damage less excess even if its your fault where as TPF&T only covers you for damage you cause to a 3rd party and theft. In the event of an accident that is not your fault the fully comp will fight your corner for everything.TPF&T leaves you to sort it out yourself unless you have legal protection.Not quite all correct but gives you a rough idea

Think you're pretty much covered for eveything bad which can happen to it. No point in claiming if you dropped it like, but if someone was to seriously vandalise it you would be covered. It's always a trade off between the excess £ and the loss of no claims bonus vs the real repair costs.

Luckily I don't have excess at all, well for the first claim per 12months that is!
