I guess that explains why the travel agencies strongly recommend their customers to avoid hiring motor bikes and if I'm not mistaken, the insurance do not cover motor bikes injuries...

most trav insurance does cover for motorcycles up to 125cc
"rough guides" do a trav insurance that covers motor cycles of unlimited size engine the m/cycle cover, is only valid, providing you have a valid driving from your own country , to ride the bike in the first place

After reading all the comments in tintins thread : Motorbikes ? Worth the risk?
http//:www.phuket-info.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6105 I guess we should feel lucky that no BM is among these statistics. Even being on the back of a motorbike taxi can be dangerous, thats why I usually end up staying within walking distance of Bangla. OK, staggering distance , which everyone knows , is twice as far as the same distance when sober.
