Rant about not having a bike....

[myvice]

Fighting with our insurance company for 20 months now, so glad the accident wasn’t our fault!
YAY STATE! YOU’RE THE FUCKING BEST!
And we are still paying them? must be mad!

thursday and i have some meetings can you pick it up
(does not trust any of the younger guys) OK when? friday
morning 9am! OK! just drop it of at home and ill get the wife
to bring you back to work! OK what time ? when ever!!

Did I mention that my new helmet arrives tomorrow?

Cool what type of helmet are you getting?

I asked the bike Ins. Co if they would cover my helmet and they said no, so I asked my household insurance Co if they would cover my helmet and they said no because it is classed as "sports equipment" then Aff-Man told me to say that when riding, unless I am racing the helmet is "safety equipment". So I told them and they said "ok we'll cover it". But then I'd need to take the old helmet to a bike shop, get a professional quote on a price for a similar helmet, then send that off, then 3-5 weeks later I should recieve my payout after paying an excess of $150 and then my weekly payments would go up by $8 a week for the next year and half...

So in short... wasn't worth getting a new helmet through insurance... go figure

Just as a FYI, NZI (my contents) paid out out on my helmet, gloves, jacket etc without even seeing them, I just rang and said I crashed and this, this and this are naffed , got a check 3 days later.

Getting the money for my bike out of Protecta was an entirely different 3 month saga

Yeah if I stay in NZ (May be going to Aussie in 3 months) and when I finally get a new bike... Sam isn't getting a new bike... I think 3 accidents has given her a bit of a fright...

I used to be a big drinker... could drink most of my mates under the table... which was amazing given my body weight compared to thiers... but yeah... now I'm just a nana... one bourbon and I feel qeezy
