Default Life Insurance

Having recently gone back to bike riding, and i know how grim this sounds, I now started to look into life insurance. Can anyone tell me whether insurance will pay out on a bike accident regardless of the engine capacity? If you have life insurance, what's your premium like and how much are you insured for?

Main reason for this is I don't want anyone having to fork out and pay off my morgage (i know they can sell the house but i've put a lot of effort into it).

Also for those who say..."don't ride if you scared, blah blah" - you obviously do not understand. I love it too much and don't want to give it away

Will they even insure you if you ride a bike? Mate of mine who rides can't get life insurance, though he works on the ropes on oil rigs too so maybe its the combination of the two

I have policies for Income protection, TPD and Life. I am worth a bit deceased, hence the policies aren't cheap.
But I sleep better at night knowing that if anything does happen to me, my wife and kids will be well provided for.

All my policies are handled by these guys.

They know their stuff and it doesn't cost you anything to use them.
You tell them what you need and they do all the leg(paper) work.

ditto on blue horizons.

premiums all depend on how much you owe and how much you earn

A tip to the people looking at this for the 1st time...take out life insurance prior to partaking in risky pasttimes.

I have several life insurance policies and through duty of disclosure I am covered by 2 of them when activley participating ion motorsport (rallying) as they were taken out prior to doing any motorsport above club level. as they were taken out before even thogh I have now disclosed mortorsport activities I am still insured if I am killed or disabled when participating, whereas new policies post motorsport do not.

Stace i understand if income cover premiums went up depending on how much i earn but surely life insurance depends on how old you are and how risky your hobby is/whether you smoke etc
