Got my Highside Certification Yesterday

Yesterday out here in PA was supposed to be gorgeous so I decided to take the bike out. Their must have been some frost or some gravel or something because as soon as I made a slight left hand turn I couldn't save it and I was highsided. Thank god for protective gear. I went to the hospital and the prognosis was a sprained ankle and a sprained
shoulder.

I wasnt going very fast 20-25mph but it got tossed high enough to crack the helmet, and then the slide shredded my jacket. I'm so glad I follow ATGATT because it may have saved my life and certainly allowed me to walk away.

The bike is ok although the plastics are shredded on the Right hand side.

Does anyone know if scorpion has a accident replacement program like some other gear companies do?

 

I don't know of any helmet company that has an accident replacement program, but I'm hardly a font of bike knowledge. Glad to hear you're okay, and it sounds like something to look back on appreciate the fact that you did everything right and it all could have been a hell of a lot worse. Might be pricey replacing all that stuff, but at least you're walkin' and talkin'!

 

Hey Rusty. Glad to hear your OK.

You'll sort through getting replacement gear in due course. Winter is here, so you got plenty of time to save up for some new goodies.

 

Schuberth has a replacement policy, but you have to register your helmet first. You also have to show a police report regarding your accident, so if it's a solo incident I don't know the exact details of how to do this. The policy doesn't replace it with a direct swap, you get a discount on the replacement helmet, 33% off to be exact. I assume that the need for a police report is so people who drop their helmet don't try and get a discount on a new one.



Welcome to the Schuberth Mobility Program

You have made an excellent choice to register your helmet for the Schuberth Mobility Program. This "helmet insurance policy" offers you the opportunity to replace a Schuberth DOT/ECE C3, C3W, C3 Pro, C3 Pro Women, S2 or SR1 that has been damaged in an accident with a new one of the same model at just 1/3 of the retail price. Now you won’t have to pass up the superior quality offered by a Schuberth helmet that meets the highest requirements for safety and performance on the road by replacing a damaged helmet with a cheap substitute.

Mobility Program registration will also enroll you in the free 3-Year Service Plan.

Mobility Program Requirements

All Schuberth customers in U.S.A. and Canada who have purchased a new Schuberth DOT compliant helmet (models: C3, C3W, S2 only) as the first owner from an authorized Schuberth dealer and registered it can take part in the Program. The offer is good within one year of an accident (during the first 3 years of helmet ownership) for customers who have pre-registered for the Mobility Program.

Schuberth's highest priority is the safety of the motorcycle rider. We want to make sure our customers always wear the best protection available and don’t replace a damaged Schuberth helmet with a cheap substitute.

In order to qualify for the Mobility Program, you must pre-register by filling out this online form.

To replace a crash-damaged DOT/ECE C3, C3W, or S2 helmet with a new one for 1/3 of the current retail price, please begin by contacting our North American Service Center.

You will be required to present the following documents and along with the damaged helmet:

• Proof of pre-registration (certificate will be emailed upon registration)
• Driver’s License (must have motorcycle endorsement)
• A police accident report
• Sales receipt for the original Schuberth helmet purchase

 

OK I Knew a few people did I was hoping scorpion was but i guess not. I was hoping to be a four season rider but the VFR is going to sit this winter out.

 

Glad you're well enough to post buddy! Good thing you were protecting your coconut!

 

Glad you made it!!! Check your insurance policy. Progressive covers $3000 worth of gear on all motorcycle policies. I think Geico does the same.

 

I know its been a while but that is a good idea guess i'll call my agent and see what my options are. I dont have full coverage but I will check it out.
