droped my bike at a recent trackday,lowside.Ive insured it for ten and the damage is six and a half.
will they write it off?
i really hope not,i love that bike and am not in a position to buy another for a while.
gutted.

If they do write it off ask about buying it back.

**The Pastor** · 23rd February 2009, 16:11

well if they write it off you'll get 10k (minus excess) so you can buy the bike back and repair it youself and still have a deposit on a new bike!

As above.

We brought back 2 bikes and fixed them ourselves.

Good luck!

Good that the insurance company is coming to the party for a trackday mishap though.

yea kiwibike insurance is the shiz! they do it on a case by case basis,basically you give em two weeks notice that you would like insurance for the track day and the email you back with a yay or nay.
BUT...if dicks like me keep dropping bikes they may re-consider in the future.so sorry in advance if i ruined it for everyone

UPDATE
just got off the phone to the assesor,its a no! my bike will live again.he said it would have to be over eight grand damage before they write it off.
stoked!

Good news, Dylan! The black/grey K4 is a nice looking bike... glad you get to keep it
