    • two call outs a year*,
    • 50kms of transport from the place you breakdown, metro or country, anywhere in Australia including Tasmania.
    • jump start if you need starting
    • fuel if you need fuelling.

    *This service covers breakdowns only, so unfortunately unexpected gravity attacks are not included!

    Two call outs but they don't include falls? Is that what 'gravity attack' refers to? Why exclude that?

    Tip 1;
    If you are ever in a position to be out of fuel even though the idiot light has told you about it for over 60 km you could lock the bike and then take one piece of tank off the bike and hitch into town and back with fuel to get you to a public supply.or any similar and easier approach.
    Tip 2:
    If you have your motorcycle stopped and it will not start under it's own battery power maybe just maybe you could clutch start the cycle and charge the battery via the electrical charging system.If this fails and remember to park on a hill to test your bike afterwards then you should ride it to an auto electrician after clutching it once more..
    Tip 3;
    If you need insurance for these types of newbie shit you should sell your bike and get the train/bus/cab/a lift/walk

    Happy motoring

    I'm with racq, anything registered in my name is covered, plus anything i'm riding/driving is covered, so even if i'm a passenger i can say i was driving, the wifes car is registered in her name only so put it as the main vehicle on the account. So, if my son or brother for example, break down and ring me for help (barsards) i can go to the car and ring racq and say i was driving while they happily drive off in my car with a big grin on their face (barstards).
