It does and in my mates case he admitted the crash was at the track but on a honda ride day. Although his insurance policy covered him for this (Ride day not track day) it took 3 mths to get paid out and only with threats of legal action did they finally pay up. They also sent an investigator to interview him for 5 hours (no kidding).He was asked to provide phone records witnesses the lot. Now imagine they request your phone records and you are ringing your mate from eastern creek at the same time as your are apparently cruising the old road. They can request the records from Ride day organisers. Insurance companies have what they call fraud indicators and a bike crashing may well trigger these indicators and they will send an investigator out to check on the claim. If they find out the truth it will become a Police matter. Simple!
