No, they certainly would have paid. For starters, I don't know what maintenance would
have prevented the throttle cable break - there was no binding, it was well lubricated,
and the break was, IIRC, inside the swaged fitting on the end.

And besides, unless I was told it was about to break and I said don't bother fixing it,
the insurance would cover it. Most insurance claims have, underlying them, some degree of
human error. Almost every collision is someone's fault - are you saying they don't pay
off in those cases?

You know Jeff, if you had hit something and caused damage, chances are
your insurance company would refuse to pay up because of your faulty
maintenance ..... for starters.
