You place/leave/drop them on the floor then push or ride you bike over them. Easy really if you’ve had the training.

Welcome Bronz - don't take my jesting personally, you'll get used to it if you hang about long enough.

Either that or you can deport him... I've heard that's what happened...

Oh BTW - I wish to make a compliant.

Not sure about a compliant what, but I definitely wish to make a compliant.

wasnt actually me... was movin the boss on that weekend and use my glasses at night as my contacts get sore... they were in the dash of the van and after he had the van they had fallen to the floor... (he drives like a dick, eh Gman??

) he came around to visit, opened door, glasses hit the ground and he drove over them when he left.... (Gman is not the boss, just knows him well) so the next day I'm looking for my eyes and there they were, squashed in the driveway!

go to insurance compay... (INSERT THREE LETTER COMPANY NAME HERE... begins with A and ends with I)
"if you pay $100 excess, we will give you $200, due to depreciation"

now, my understanding of depreciation is that it's due to changes in the market and resale values etc...

My FUCKING Glasses have NO RESALE VALUE as they were CUSTOM-MADE for me!!!!
how the fuck can they depreciate??????
what do I do now??? I'm on my last set of contact lenses (monthly ones that are 6 weeks old) and I need to drive!!!!its my fuckin job!!!

can anyone recommend a REAL insurance company????

(even tho it's too late for this claim, I'm gunna change incase anything happens to my belongings... bike is insured elsewhere as A*I dont like Ducs)

They are both great. Never had the problems that you speak of and would tell em to go get farked! I've had 2 sets of glasses replaced through insurance, both times no worries once the excess is paid

How about a bank manager?

Or to be more topical, an insurance company?

All the insurance companies are mongrels in one way or another.
And you got a good deal on the new specs, either that or I got ripped off...

I ran over my Bolle sunglasses once. Put them in my lap while I put my helmet on, then rode out of the gargre at work. Go to the entrance, though: "Bloody hell! It's so bright! Uh... where's me sunnies?!?" Looked down, didn't see them, so I rode back to where the bike ahd been parked. Somehwere along the way, they fell down and went under the wheel. Straightened them out, and apart froma few deep scratches, they've been in use for 3 years or so since then, no problems. However, when I bought another pair (so I had some non-muntered ones for 'good'), I was forbidden to ever wear them on my bike.

By the way, Blakamin - we made a claim for glasses for my son, who smashed his when/after he broke the Subaru. State didn't depreciate them, but we did lose our No Claims rebate; worked out costing us a total of $189 for two years. Cheaper than the $500 to replace the specs.
