A warning to all

I think you're getting ahead of yourself #1. There's nothing in your post to indicate they are likely to deny your claim. Keep in contact with them and give them a push.
I had a claim with NAC 6 months ago and the service I recieved was nothing short of flawless, though I was dealing through a broker. Every hold up I had was entirely due to the two bike shops. One supplying parts and the other making repairs.

Sounds to me like a drop in communication between parties I wonder if we'll hear anything back from the original poster before we get to 5 pages of KB comment. Maybe NAC are also waiting for a response to something?

There's nothing stopping the bike shop pricing up the job, they don't need approval to do that. Then send NAC the quote asking for approval.

Have nothing really to add apart from a dumb question. Who is NAC? Yes I know an insurance company, but I have never heard of it.

NAC is a part of IAG (State / NZI etc). They specialise in vehicles as opposed to offering house and contents etc.

NAC = National Automobile Club.

Here's a question :

There's been a lot of talk of Kiwibike and how great they are, well as they are brokers they deal through other insurance companies... I am insured with NAC through Kiwibike, does this mean my claim and all is dealt with between me and Kiwibike and only Kiwibike deals with NAC?

I agree 100%

I wrote of my SV after only having it for a few weeks.

Excellent service, fast resolution.

Maybe you should contact someone higher up in the ladder if your habing problems?

It is actually aimed at HMVs, so if the speed limit is 100kph then by the laws of NZ you can go around that corner at 100kph.

Of course in the wrong circumstances the laws of physics may beg to disagree......

Huh? I thought it only related to logging trucks as being the max speed for the corner? Or is it all articulated vehicles, and not heavy rigid vehicles? (I should know this holding my Class 4 lol- well I thought I did!)

Pretty much, yes! My claim was a little different because I offered to source some aftermarket parts that the bike shop couldn't and do some repairs myself. My broker would forward e-mails to the accessor and replies would come back to me. It worked well!
