Better than nothing I guess.

Also: I always wonder what people do to their bikes to need warranty so badly. Ive owned so many bikes (and even crashed a few), and never had a frame issue (even after crash). I understand it might give you peace of mind on an expensive bike, but I doubt most people need it, and I would take the savings of a used bike any day.
