As you might be aware I've had both my motorbikes stolen from my garage. I always carried quite a lot of things in my top box (things like tools, my BMW rainsuit, lots of other stuff ) I'm claiming on both motorcycle and home insurance as other items were also taken. So in regards to the top box contents who should I claim against? Can I claim? I'm thinking these items won't be covered on bike insurance.
I'm just in the process of proving I had these items, compiling receipts/photos etc. it's a right pain!!

If your bike insurance won't pay out, you could claim from your household contents insurance (thumbs)

Did you inform your insurer of the modification to fit the top box? If not they could potentially reject the whole claim let alone just the top box contents....JimboF650 wrote:As you might be aware I've had both my motorbikes stolen from my garage.

Yes the top box was down as a modification. Just wondering if it's contents are insured?
Got a call booked with them to go through the case, so I can ask then

A long time ago now but when I had my bike stolen out of my shed I also claimed for a fictitious pair of helmets and jacket,waterproofs that were also supposedly taken at the same time.I told the police the same story.My bike insurance paid out for that but not the tools I also tried to claim for.

Yeah,I'm really scared someone is going to come knocking on my door about a scam I pulled over 25 years ago.That's if they can find the right door since I've moved house 11 times since then! :whistle:

In fact,I'd better admit on an open forum that I just made that up to make my post more interesting.I REALLY did have two helmets stolen!
Now who can prove which version is the truth?
