Chunk,

These costs are fine for an insurance claim but I'm sure if you do the work yourself you'll save a lot. I got indicators for £14each from the local bike shop when I made an ass of myself falling off in the company car park. Also got indicator for Brother in law's Triumph for £20 when qouted £56 from Triumph.
Shop around.

I priced up a Divvie 600 fairing plastic only at best part of £400 factory paint etc. So Chuck's prices are pretty much what it costs. Though he could save on the labour - but why should he have to.

You said it's on video - so they can't argue. All the best getting it fixed.

PS Can I have your fuel tank sender :-)

Though he could save on the labour - but why should he have to.


Agree, make the buggers pay, (yes I know it's passed on in hiked costs to be insured), but the company that did the damage should bear the costs. Mindless morons, don't they realise it's someones pride and joy?

Go get 'em Ray.

Was actually thinking he could screw the maximum out of them, then save some money. Nothing like coming out ahead.

Normally on a claim the quotation is what a professional would charge to do the work. That is the going rate.
They have damaged his property and it is up to them to repair it.
You can always use your £50,000 of legal cover to claim against them properly. If they see lawyers fees on the horizon then they might be only too glad to settle for a grand or so.

[Dame judgejools44]

That's bad. You've got the evidence and the costs for repair so ask them to pay up or you'll take the evidence to a Lawyer and Police and they'll get done for a lot more in the long run!

Go get em!! ;D

[suzukikidontheloose53]

Is that your household rubbish bin Chunk? and did the bike fall over against the wall when it hit it?

[Fiasco]

Blimey mate that's terrible, if you need any indicators I may have a couple knocking around.

Icidentily this picture of the engine prooves what I have always said about 900 Divvys ...............

Spongebob Squarepants [1] lives in the engine - can you see him ?

Dave ;D

[1] I was blissfully unaware of Spongebob until Reaper introduced him to the Kids

[bort]

Chunk,
Hope you get the damage sorted - that's just not right what they done.

Fi - what you on?? - can I see Spongebob Squarepants in the engine?

[teejayexc]

Spongebob Squarepants [1] lives in the engine - can you see him ?

Damn, sorry to see the end result of some other idiots carelessness

But why would lose your NCB and excess if the damage wasn't your fault? In all the no fault claims I've had over the years I've always received 100% damages and never paid a penny. Else what's the point of having insurance LOL.

-RW-

[chunk166]

woke up this morning had a cup of coffee and still feel angry
hi rw, thats what my insurance co said that it would go against me untill the claim is settled

[chunk166]

cheers el_bandito, tried to load the video on here so you all could see but no joy. as for the insurance i only renewed last thursday so if i don't here from cleanaway's in 14 days after they receive (photo;s,video,repair cost quote) then i may well go with my insurance to recover the loss + costs.

[Dame judgejools44]

The Company may just pay without an argument when they see the evidence against them!

[chunk166]

hi jools, put the video on now so all can see, cleanaway crash is the title.

[Dame judgejools44]

Just trying to dowload it but seems to be taking forever....mind you, my comp ain't got a lot of vitual memory so that may be the problem.

[chunk166]

yeah mine does the same virtual memory to low i just click the box and carry on

[Dame judgejools44]

I couldn't get it to sort itself I'm afraid, hope someone else has better luck!

Good luck with the claim, I think you have enough evidence to make them crumble and pay up!

[chunk166]

thanks jools,mind you the bike is ridable all the prices are for new replacements not repairs

[cam7777]

Great bit of evidence, you can clearly see the guy 'dump' the bin and walk away without putting the brakes on....should be a clear cut case...good luck friend!
