Immaculate 1098 (Now sold)

[Her_C4]

OK, Here we go (again).

My bike is for sale.

It is a beautiful bike in beautiful condition and it is for sale because I am unable to ride it at the moment due to an ongoing injury problem (from a bike accident).

I don't want to sell it, but equally I don't want it sitting in the garage taunting me either or when someone else could be enjoying it.

Yip.
You expect her to let random people ride her 30k bike?
A bike like this doesnt need a test ride. You either want it, or you dont.

You dont have to demo a bike to want one. But I wont argue.
Id buy one this second if I had the money. WITHOUT test riding one.

[Her_C4]

Anyone?

I may need to sell it now as my car burst into flames last week and is now written off completely I guess 'Her_B4' has just changed to 'Her_..'! !

I'm so not going to 'go there' in regards to the insurance company and what they euphemistically call 'service'.

Anyway - bike still for sale

The bike or the car??

If its the car you are referring to - I don't have any.

The story goes like this - the car needed a warrant so took it into the mechanics. As I went to pick it up he was on his way out in it having tuned the primary turbo (overboosting problem), but stopped and offered to check it out the following week when I was to take it back and get the cam belt done.

I suggested that he check it out while he was in it, and I would go and pay and wait the 5 minutes it would take for him to check that he had the settings correct.

Sooooo - he didn't come back. The workshop foreman came out to tell me that the car had caught fire and the firemen had arrived and were in the process of putting it out.

I stood there like a spare prick at a wedding wondering what the hell I was supposed to be doing next!!!

They towed it (what was left of it) back to the mechanics and before the insurance company took it I bowled out to remove any personal belongings that were not burnt or sodden....

WHAT a mess. Thank goodness the mechanic wasn't hurt and that I wasn't driving! My reactions are definitely not as good as they used to be these days

Oh bugger, crap and poo...sorry to hear mate. I wish I had the $ and the legality to buy your gem, I know you would have looked after it.

Hope you get a bit more luck soon

[Goblin]

Wow! You sure have had a rough time of late. What with buying a 30k bike that you cant ride due to injury, then not being able to sell it, now your car catches fire.
Is the car insured?
Hope you luck improves real soon.
All the best with the sale.

I kinda wish you did too!! he he he - and thanks

Yes well - I thought so, but apparently the insurance company and I do not see eye to eye over 'replacement cost' despite me providing evidence of similar current car sales. They even had a 'pre fire' assessment done on it to judge the condition and said that it was 'fair'. Anyone who knows me knows that my vehicles are well looked after and that I tend to be a bit obsessive compulsive so I was pretty stunned to here that!!

To say that I am fairly irate about it all is a bit of an understatement. I have been insured with this company for over 30 years for all houses, contents and vehicles (but not the bikes!) and I guess I am a bit 'old school' and still expecting to receive things like 'value for money', repect as a client and that good ole 'service' factor.

Clearly in this case - there was absolutely no point at all in paying such a high premium for so long over so little return at the end.
