Insurance Claims

Be careful if they offer you a lease bike in the meantime. My mate was knocked off his Thruxton a couple of years ago and had a couple of Yamaha`s while his was getting repaired. The bill came to over £30 000! Fortunately he was covered but some folk aren`t so lucky.

 

@ajc400 I think that is a whole load of old tosh. I had that lot a few years ago who said I had to gain the police report which we all know the police do not release the report to the public. They would not help in any way and I lost a case where a driver knocked me of by nudging my bike as I filtered. I had witnesses but they didn't even try to contact them. I contacted Bulldog and ask them to carry out the repairs which they accepted so I told Carole Nash who agreed so i called the Carole Nash breakdown service in the policy and they did the delivery free of charge.

 

I'm with Bennetts, had an off in Scotland a few years back, 4th dimension transported it back to their assessors which were a few miles from where I live. They had told me I could leave al my gear in the panniers etc but when I tried getting to my bike to collect the stuff it was all being dealt with by a 3rd party and I had real trouble tracking it down, eventually got to it as they were loading it onto an artic to be taken to a breakers in Wales. Apart from that they paid me the full amount it was insured for.
I have heard though that it can take an age for repairs to be done, the problem being that if any part has a slight scratch or blemish they will replace it for new so it comes down to the availability of the new parts. Hopefully I'm wrong on that part

 

Best of luck!
