Tauranga Rant and Rave

sooo can i buy it??

Tom you are doing the business degree, you should know how insurance works. If it's a write off the insurance company pays Mike out and the bike is then theirs. So Mike doesn't decide who can have it. DURRRR.

YAY found out today coppas aint going to charge me with anything over my crash due to the witness that I nearly ran over saying that he was standing on the side of the road

Thats great news, so does the witness get charged for being a dangerous pedestrian?

Exactly right, and according to them (Ive called them today) It doesnt take much to write a bike off.

Id rather try and fix it and get it back to the way it was.

Although I did buy a lotto ticket this arvo, so if I came off with a bit of $$$ It would end up looking like this: *Dream SV fighter*

It wishes it were cool enough to be a Buell.

Mike could take his payout, then make an offer to buy the wreck (cheap), then he could either fix it, fighter it, or sell it to Tom for a significant profit and then get something new with more money in his back pocket!

I know how it works im not an idiot but mike can contact them and offer to buy the wrecked bike back off them if he wishes he has first priority in that issue. DUURRRRR.

You would probably still be paying a couple of thousand bucks at the least

i will see if he wants to sell it first and how much he offers before i make any decisions..it may go cheap

Does it also wish it was as cool as a Ducati (Rear swingarm and wheel), Or a GSXR750 (Front forks).....

Sounds like a few good plans there.

Didnt no that....

All good, I hope theres a couple of thousand bucks worth of bike there anyway!

I'll be able to tell you when I get an assessor too look over it.

[toebug]

They may just write it off Mike because it doesnt take much as stated earlier. Take the repair cost off the insured price and make them an offer under that, you just might be surprised. As long as the main frame and front end are straight it could be worth it. You may get it back on the road for bugger all! It would look like its been binned but it would be warrantable. Then on sell it and to top up your new bike fund.

MMMmmm, is there room in the garage? No Tony! you dont need another bike! you just need one that goes and is legal!!!

The SV would be an easy fighter though!

Well its really cold outside so should I

Stay at home and drink rum by myself

Go to Drivers and see some great people, but get frozen cold

Or go round to Nodrogs and rub vicks on his chest (cause he wants me to) as hes a little poorly.

Thanks KB peeps I need your advice
