I also agree with these points below. For relatively minor items, insurance for careful ownwers/users makes little sense. I guess we all have our threshold on 'minor'. Insurance companies do make it labourious to claim, I assume they have their reasons. I witnessed this recently with a rental car in...

I second this, for most European citizens. At 39 euros this is good value for TP ins and rental cover.

Great Stuff! Lots of good advice on this thread about optimising all aspects and learning the 'feel' - (hey I even agreed with Matty V, now there's a first!) We all learn differently I guess and I needed some good wind, welll powered sessions to get the upwind dialled. Way more wind than I expected!...
