You will find most "credit card" insurance is useless - as is most travel insurance - when it comes to MOTORCYCLE COVER. Especially if alcohol is involved!!

How many trashed/mushied aussies do you see riding around the island? Wonder how many of them realize how much a HERCULES costs to charter ya wounded carcass back home - $10,000+ to Darwin!!!!

Agree. The problem definitely is the idiots without any motorcycling experience (and normally without a helmet for that matter) getting on the squirt and suddenly thinking they are Casey Stoner.

There is a method to the madness over there and if you do take it easy, I think it is reasonably safe.

(That doesn't mean I wouldn't go in the future uninsured. But with an IDP, a motorcycle license here, the right policy and a helmet, you are covered).
