What the f*#*k do I do?

[MarkH]

I'm sure I read AA insurance!

As for AMI sorting everything for you? That's true until you find yourself dealing with one of their overzealous claim handler’s and then you’ll find customer service flies out the window!

Shit, you're right - must try to get more than 4 hours sleep the previous night before reading the forums. At least it had an A in it.

But anyway with AMI I have made 3 claims, my sister is with them and made a couple of claims - so far nothing but great customer service. I have been with them for 9 years and I will stick with them until I have a good reason to change.

[macros87]

so i suddenly remembered this thread and wondered what happened, i know insurance companies are a slow working machine, but surely by now there's been some results right?

[Damon]

Update?? :sleep:

[firefighter]

It shall forever be a mystery.....

I had 10 years worth of history with AMI, excellent record with them. Then my house got knocked over - I lost about $60k worth of stuff including tools - they stuck an investigator on me, and it took six months of shite before they paid out. I had to find receipts for all my Snap On stuff, all the audio gear I lost etc etc. Their problem was that they couldn't see why a suit and tie guy would need tools. FFS. Now the house has a monitored alarm, two dogs, and someone home most of the time. Did I mention that they tried paying out 10 cents in the dollar at first. AMI, what a bunch of wankers. Now with AA for most everything, and with Classic Cover for the bike (have been for years).

Shite! they ripped you off with two dogs and a monitored alarm, that's worry. Did the alarm go off and did the security monitoring respond?

"Now the house ... "

I read that as after the burglary the alarm + dogs went in.

[quickbuck]

Correct, as do I.

The dog is the best form of deterent. Alarms are predictable, and easy to quiet... and don't want you for breakfast....

"Now the house ... "

Me too. Had it been "Now, the house..." I would have read it differently.

Kind of like "I helped my uncle Jack off his horse" or "I helped my uncle jack off his horse". :lol:

And no fun when your 3 year old figures out she can reach the control panel and which buttons to press to make loud noises.

[Mc TOOL]

Only read the 1st page of replies but , she has to pay and let this be a lesson to her, and legally I dont think she has a leg to stand on. Even tho the damage was accidental she has no right to be interfering with your vehicle and must take responcibility for her actions. Being your x's bestie aint going to make your mission any easier , being only 16 you probly have no idea just how well women can form " bitch packs " to apply unfair pressure. Have a good look at your employment contract , there may be something in there about staff parking, the fact that another employee damaged your vehicle at an organised work function may give you some leverage there , and dont let them tell you that because it didnt happen on work premisis its not a work issue . I just had to pay $30 grand in a wrongful dismissal suit where at an end of contract pissup this arsehole got pissed and repeatedly groped one of the girls there so we sacked him but because it was a work do ( at a pub ) and we supplied the piss .... It was all our fault . the fact that he was subcequently convicted of indecent assult didnt make a shit of difference
go for the jugular

I wrote - "now the house has a monitored alarm and two dogs" - these were added after the house got ripped off...

[madbikeboy]

Correct, as do I.

One dog is cute and kind of nice. The other one is a little less nice, but still kind of cute. She sometimes scares people, like this one teenager who had a small attitude adjustment - he pissed himself (not figuratively, but literally) when Roxie cornered him. I guess she is big for a Rottie...

[breakaway]

So 18 pages later, what is the outcome of that bitch who broke your shit?

PS: Hi Mike, way to leave us before the twisty bits yesterday! :ride:

[cerberus]

I get the feeling we won't learn what happened. Jaymzw hasn't posted in over a month.

[motorbyclist]

well assuming he's forgotten about how subscriptions work I left a message on his profile page.... now to see if he reads it....

[jaymzw]

Hey Guys,

Forgot i never tied up this thread,

I do frequent KB a fairbit but not so much posting,

Basically the bike got assesed after newyears in mid January and was fixed by the end of the month, I got it back on the 28th i think.

Since then i recieved a couple of abusive phone calls from the girls parents calling me all sorts of names, but my old man got on top of that quite quickly. They wernt going to pay excess either but they finally did. A lot of you were right about the price especially of painting, it ended up costing me around the 8-900 dollar mark all up!!!!

I still have to put up with the girl on my shift occasionally but the rest of the management team usually deal with her.

In hindsight (yes i like to think i learnt from my pissing around) I have learnt that i pay my insurance company for a reason and that when given all the correct information they do a very effective job! In future if i come across a sticky situation like this again i will simply call my insurers and let them deal to it. However the next claim for a motorbike will only be when i drop it because NO-ONE SITS ON MY BIKE NOW!

Sorry for not posting about this, thought i had!

[portokiwi]

Good one mate. Thats was the right move

[PirateJafa]

Good to see you didn't mess around [at least, any further than you already had].

Now, pics of ya bike, or this thread is worthless. :niceone:

[Damon]

Nice :headbang: it's so much easier when insurance do it all for you,

i had to go to court just before christmas to help my insurance company nail a guy who broadsided me as he was coming out of a give way back in Nov 07, it was only a gental knock but cost him almost $4000 hahahaha :buggerd:

In the mediation he was all no but yeah but no but yeah but umm but no, he tried to say i tried to drift my bike between his car and a traffic island to beet an oncomming car but didn't make it, i'd be the man if i could do that!! now he has to pay State $20 a week for the next million years :clap:

[Max Preload]

Let this be a lesson to any ditsy skanks out there who may be reading this - don't fuck with other people's shit all uninvited like. We don't give a fuck how cutsie you think it is or you are.

[The Pastor]

glad to see you got your bike fixed up and that you've learned a valuable lesson about insurance.

[Max Preload]

This doesn't actually make much sense if you involved the insurance company and told them she did the damage when she messed with it, uninvited. She should have been required to pay for the full cost, not just the excess.

[MarkH]

There are 2 things that I care about - the cutsie ditsy skanks are welcome to sit on one, but not the other.

Yup.
We had a case where my wife backed into someone in the SUV we used to own - she was backing out of the drive, looked both ways, no-one coming, and the next second there was someone behind her. It bent the rubber overrider on the rear bumper, and totaled the side of the other car.
The guy that was in the passengers seat got very aggro, phoning us several times to say they were without a car and we should be paying for a rental one. My wife was getting very upset by the abuse, so I rang the insurance company and they said, "The other party shouldn't be contacting you at all! We will handle it."
That was that.

In hindsight ( wonderful thing), we let the guy railroad us a bit. He pretty much took control, and legally my wife was at fault as she was reversing. However, there was something dodgy going on: they were both from Eastern Yurp, and we never saw her driver's licence. I suspect she didn't have one, and was having a lesson, and that she was going too fast (explains how she wasn't there one second, and the next she was, and how she managed to get backed into), and instead of stopping when she saw my wife backing out, she continued around behind her. Had the guy not leaped out straight away, said my wife was at fault, asked for our insurance details, my wife's licence, etc., I would've asked for the driver's details (she stayed in the car, and we never talked to her - probably under instruction to do so). It was my wife's first ever incident of any kind in 25 years of driving, and she was very shook up, not helped by Aggro Dude.

So - never admit fault (that's what the insurance company say too), always record ALL details, and let the insurance company handle it. Don't let personal issues or emotions come into it.

that's pretty disgusting, really. something tells me they think they're the victim here, and the girl may not have entirely learnt her lesson

[Slyer]

Something tells me that they got her twisted side of the story.

And so I like, got pushed into the bike, and he, is like, all 'ohmigod, you have to pay me now'.

Actual transcript, true story.

It really does have a believable ring to it. But there should be more embellishment and more reasons why it is not her fault and how hard done by she is by the whole experience.

[jaymzw]

Yeah i hope so. The whole experience turned me into a hard bastard.

Glad its over too!

Pics to come.

MBB and myself are picking up my new project http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=203865883 :2guns: tonight

I'm confused :confused: Is that a gentle knock or a genital knock? Potentially quite a difference :rofl:

[MarkH]

Yeah i hope so. The whole experience turned me into a hard bastard.

There is no need to be a hard bastard in the situation you were in - you give all info to the insurance company and then leave it up to them to be hard. The silly bitch unhappy or her parents unhappy - don't be hard, be apathetic! Don't care it is all between your insurance company and them, carry on with your life and forget about them! The girl or her parents have to pay some money - NMFP (Not My Fuckin' Problem).

[Toaster]

Your story would be a bit more impressive if you'd actually been carrying a pillion at the time though, don't you think?

That would have to be the funniest post I have ever read. Shame I ran out of green bling today.

[Ixion]

Wasn't there a sweepstrake running on whether the OP ever got into the chicks pants? What was the final outcome?

[chef]

make her pussy pay for it

[YellowDog]

make her pussy pay for it
That's what made the bike fall over.

[Cr1MiNaL]

This thread is a year old... someone tell me what the outcome was, did he get the money?

WOW! Thread dredging much!

Yeah the insurance dealt with it. She had to pay my excess. I got a new front fairing, side fairing, new mirrors, hand grips, and brake leaver:bleh: A costly drop actually considering the bike was stationary.

Sold it in June/July and i think it was crashed in August, so there yah go.

Feel like an absolute tool reading my first posts though:spanking:

No you're alright mate, dont feel like a tool. You are young and were asking for advice, you aint been though stuff like this before. You nearly got sidetracked but did it right overall and learned lessons for the future.

All in all you did well, and those who said "grow up" well you're what 16 or 17, you are growing up, cant hurry that huh. Good work dude, all the best.

It is okay. allready did!

Hmmmm 2008 McD's crew at Spookers.

I remember you lot, 10,000 small packets of tomato sauce all over the place, truly a messy lot. 2009 crew much tidier (and screamed louder).

Say hello next time you visit Spooks (I'm the old witch on the front desk):lol:
