What a nightmare , I feel for you, I hope you get it back soon.

[Conquiztador]

I sincerely feel for you. Surely there is something you can do? Is there not an Insurance Ombudsman you can contact??? Or the dreaded Fair Go???

[dmouse]

i did contact the ombudsman and there was nothing they could do as my insurance company would not agree to deadlock my broker did but IAG would not.

however got my BACK today and been for a good run cleaned out all the cobwebs and its awsome great to be back in the saddle im as happy as larry just hope cage drivers see me im adding extra amber lights and a i found a really cool highstop light that fits onto either your helmet or jacket it works without wires in going to fit it on the back of my jacket its pretty flat and not really noticeable until the six leds light up so fingers crossed and thanks to all you guys and girls for all the support its been a long wait im going to get as much use of the bike as i can so maybe see you on the road take care

thanks again to all and the best regards your all the best

Your patience is amazing Dave, thank god your baby is home, enjoy riding mate, hope it goes well for you!

i have full comp but it does not and will never cover a replacement bike, i have argued this with my present company and the previous had the same policy, they cant get it through there heads it was not my fault but it is me that has to suffer tough shit i guess, until more bikers damand this on there insurance it will not be available to us.

You can always take the person to court and get them to pay for the hireage of another bike
or tell your insurance to get them to pay for it

did you claim any damaged clothing from the person in the wrong ...i would have ...and have before now

[Conquiztador]

Glad you have her back. Perhaps now is the time to look around for an insurance Co that provides better service...

i did contact the ombudsman and there was nothing they could do as my insurance company would not agree to deadlock my broker did but IAG would not.

dave

IAG is the parent company of State Insurance, I second Conquiztador, maybe now is the time to look for a better insurance company.

Glad you have your bike back, finally

[dmouse]

the problem with IAG is they own very much the market as they own NZI State and a few others, i used star brokers last time and they were through NZI that repair took seven months, its crazy really i have had the bike for 16 months and only rode it on the road for five !! two accidents both not my fault and so much time taken in repairs it dont figure, now here is the next thing that has happend got the bike tuesday afto went for a good ride noticed headlight was not working main ben was ok so i thought simple bulb change lol not on this bike i takes of the rim and tries to take out the headlamp finger slips and i gash my left ( im a lefty ) hand on the inner rim, middle finger right in the first knuckle joint down to the bone, fuk so its off to the A&E as its the joint and has to be stitched, i got there at about 8:30pm and had to wait for a surgeon as i had cut into the bone, he had to open it up to check the tendons, i was lucky ? i had cut the from top to bottom so he had to make sure it was clean and washed it out with heaps of sterile water and stiched it up, now i cant bend the finger its going to be a few days until its well enough to use the clutch as it leaks when i bend my finger.

im begining to think that this bike is cursed or made from the left overs of Christine !!! i gotto have some good luck soon i think i deserve it.

take care all if i see you on the road i salute other bikers i gave up waving just so you know its me.

[Conquiztador]

Broke my left wrist long time ago. Ended up with a cast. So I twisted the Bonnies clutch so it stood straight up and then I was able to push it down with the cast. But the cast did not like that. After a few days it started falling apart. So I modified the cast and fitted a steel bar along it. 4 months later (and a few casts later) they removed the last cast and all screws and I missed no riding!!

Where there is a will there is a way. ;-)

[dmouse]

thanks for the tip i just tried it but my clutch cable does not have enough slack to allow it, the cable is getting pulled tight into the tank, i can get more if i reroute the cable but will be awkward with one hand and a couple of fingers i will keep working on stretching the skin until it stops leaking thanks again and regards

[Dino]

Man when shit happens it happens in a big way, I hope the healing doesn't take too long.

The bike may be cursed as you said but I have to disagree with you, its not Christine, wasn't she able to repair herself?


Hope your back on the bike soon.

[dmouse]

thanks DINO im gettin there stretching the joint until it gets really painfull and not leaking i think maybe tommorow it will be good enough as for christine maybe i got the reject parts lol take care mate n regards

[dmouse]
