Motorcycle Track Day Insurance

Do you need bike track day insurance?

There are many many riders that go through many many track days without incident, but it doesn t mean to say there aren t any risks involved in bike track days, and if you re taking your pristine bike out on to the track you have every reason to consider motorcycle track day insurance.

I know firsthand what can happen while out on track (see my About Me page) and I know what it feels like to see a once gleaming bike left looking like it s gone toe to toe with Mike Tyson. As it happens, I had plans to turn it into a track bike anyway so the cost of repair wasn t quite as large, but if you use your bike on the road and wish to keep it that way then bike track day insurance wouldn t be a terrible thing to opt for.

However I m not trying to scare anyone and like I said, hundreds of riders do multiple track days without any problems and if you take your time with it and don t try and be too clever you ll get through it without any problems too.

Another reason to consider insurance is not just for your bike, but for you. If being injured and laid up would affect your job or prevent you from working altogether, then some form of insurance against that would be a wise choice. Yes the track day insurance cost is an initial expense, but you have to ask yourself what situation would it leave you in if you ended up injured, and if the answer is it would leave you in a significantly bad situation then motorcycle track day insurance is well worth consideration.

The options

There aren t many companies that still offer track day insurance cover as a lot felt it wasn t worth the hassle, but thankfully some companies still want to help out their customers and so still offer different sorts of cover. Below are the companies that still offer some form of track day cover.

MCE Insurance MCE have been listening to their customers who felt there should be a track day policy that can be applied for that is separate from their main motorcycle policy.
