    Hi Kevin, sorry to hear about your 'tumble' - reminded me of a scene in "Wild Hogs".

    Anyway, re the insurance side of things may I offer you the following thoughts:

    1. Assuming you have Fully Comp insurance - they will make you an offer assuming they write off the bike. DO NOT accept the 1st offer. Gather evidence to show the true market value of your bike so you can argue for a higher figure;

    2. Ask them if they will continue the policy to cover your replacement bike. They will probably say no, but ask anyway.

    3. Include all damages in your claim: - clothing/helmet/luggage etc.
