Yes, really!

 

Have a look at Post #19 or the linked article.

 

He was not so lucky with automatic extensions.

 

Take a look:

Single trip insurance cover extension

02/04/2020

We welcome the Government’s announcement to assist with repatriation given the challenges that many people stuck abroad are facing. ABI members are committed to supporting their customers who are stuck abroad at this difficult time. 

Most travel insurance policies already automatically extend so that people can continue to be covered against the risk of emergency medical treatment when they are stuck abroad due to ongoing travel restrictions. 

Sometimes these extensions have a limit of up to 30 days, however, given the exceptional circumstances leading ABI members will look to extend this protection to cover the risk of emergency medical treatment for up to a minimum of 60 days, provided customers are making every effort to return home.

 

So you can actually get 60 days of free extensions and possibly continue to pay for further extensions. I haven't checked if the Virgin policy is by an ABI member. Mainly because it makes no difference to me.

A Solihull man with 'a heart of gold' = a Go fund me page I'm sure.

It's important to understand that trained and tattooed body doesn't go with a helmet and unsurance

Heart of gold.....ridiculous. Just a dodgy scammer.

Well either way, his insurance provider is saying his policy is invalid so they won't cough.

Rightly so.

who?

[Ramdas]

Riding a bike without helmet is not a wise thing to do anywhere in the world especially in lawless Thailand considering the way the drive here, absolutely blind, not paying attention who’s around them, driving against the traffic, jumping red lights not to mention their selfish/childish attitude whilst driving, the perfect formula that leads to a disaster ????????‍♂️
As someone in here said, he probably didn’t train his mind properly, you made your bed now lay in it cheeky monkey.
 

[Eindhoven]

My lack of sympathy lies solely with the way he made his money and now the audacity of a GoFundMe beg.

 

No one would wish such an accident on someone. But he should pay for the bill out of his own pocket.

How can you type up such a nasty comment regarding someone who had a serious accident. He is injured badly for Christ's sake..

 

Truly hope he recovers and makes it through as best as he can.

He wasn't wearing a helmet and he was on the way to the gym so i geuss a drive he did many times . He is living in thailand so he should know the risks of not wearing a helmet and for sure speading . Accidents like this happen every day here in thailand and i don't see go fund me for those people . Looking at the pictures he is living the live having a house with a pool home gym and he's a investment banker so i geuss he has more money to spend then most of us here . Sorry to be so blunt but i think they have to try to solve their own bill before asking people for money , maybe sell the house and rent something or whatever but he caused this accident by his own stupidity . I DO HOPE HE MAKES IT AND WILL RECOVER .

Perhaps he overbalanced, carrying all that weight of ink in those tattoos ...

Investment banker?

Oh my! Some interesting research by Eindhoven.

[warcy]

I have seen a lot of idiotic foreigners riding big bikes in Thailand and speeding way above the speed limit.

 

Thai usually ride at slow speed and they don't follow traffic rules, so if you ride fast, boommm....!

 

They are asking to be hospitalized like this guy.

The man was foolish, but it's still a very sad story. 

Don't understand the need to mention that he was 'super fit' 

Super fit won't help you avoid a car crash.

Just quoting the original article linked in the first post.

 

Do verify that you are correct with your insurance provider.

Certainly won't be insured for riding a super bike without an helmet no protection and speeding,enough to invalidate any insurance.My travel insurance doesn't cover me for riding or being a passenger on a bike,or any dangerous activity,for that I have to pay extra.

Thai wife? Really? 

You approve of him scamming people?

Oh i see he has a Russian wife. My misstake. But i dont see anything about him scamming people, with regards to this accident.

The gofundme page....why not? nothing wrong with that. often a page like that is not for the publicbut just a way for friends and family to financially help a little bit. 

It might surprise you but friends and family dont care if an injured loved one has a house and a swimming pool, they just want to help.

 

Except forsome googling we dont know the guy, so for sure i wouldnt donate but i also wouldnt make nasty comments. Just wishing him a good recovery sounds the best to me.

He certainly made a good job of ensuring he wasn't covered even if he had a "motorcycle" extension.

It's interesting the bungalow, west midlands is still an office. 

[thetravelbee]

Seems to me he had it coming.  Very bad judgment from his part causing so much pain and suffering to himself and family/wife. So irresponsable too.  That was avoidable unlike so many other accidents in life. Bad choice for which he may loose his life or be left with permanent damage.  Such a pity.  Still hope he pulls it through.  Sad indeed !

You really think BR guys put there real name and picture all over the Internet? 

Very possibly, if they're brazen enough about it. In any event, the warnings issued by the Maltese, Swiss and UK authorities make it clear there was something distinctly  dodgy about his financial advice firm.

No lid, insurance apparently invalidated when he failed to follow UK government advice to return to the UK.

 

 

Insurance would be invalidated for not wearing a helmet!!

Looks like an accident waiting to happen!

Some TVF members even consider it appropriate to post stories about riding big bikes at speeds of up to 172kph 'without the right gear and a top rated helmet'........
