It doesn't do any good under there, believe me I've been in the situation. my options were either; "oh look officer it appears my baffle has unscrewed itself and shot out of the end - I'll just check it's not miraculously fallen into the sealed seat component...it sometimes does that you know. Oh well I'll be damned here it is and it's magically cleaned itself and instantly cooled down as if it's never been used"
or
"what's a baffuffle?"

The latter didn't get me very far either...

I reckon if you drove into a jet plane or killed someone they'd try their very hardest to prove it.

Was an example of an expensive claim...
...although not impossible - I'm sure dave preston told me a mate/colleague of his binned a bike into a parked plane when ****ing about on a run way.

Wow tht must have been one impressive insurance form he had to fill out.
On a restricted bike it would be harder to prove I guess too
