<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have used the media figures of approx. 25,000 motorcycles

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If 25,000 riders paid an average of $800 per year, the

and all costs were borne by the motorcyclist, and the average claim was
$120,000 – the costs would be approx.: 
308 x $ 120,000 = $36,960,000 of which 15% is administration costs
roughly (this is an estimation of admin costs).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
