Wednesday Night Ride

[Dave-]

I was fairly distraught when I heard Harvrd had some off, then I was relieved when I saw him riding in the opposite direction, then I went back to dispair when I saw Hurrie had an off.

he'll be sore today but ok.

(remember what I said? 2 panadol then 3 hours later, 2 neurofen, and rotate that)

[Hurrie]

Hey guys, lol i actually feel fine, slightly sore but not worth taking drugs for it went to the docs last night and everything checked out so thats good. and yeah the bike looks like its a write off so far, kinda gutting really. i loved that bike i would be keen on an mc22 but its hard to find one in good condition and low km's for a good price. here are the pics of my bike, the seat fell off the trailer on the way home

Dark times mate, tidy wee bike she was.

Good to hear that your not hurt too bad.

Someone might be able to tell you on KB about de-registering the bike before the insurance company does it and pockets the coin.

Hope you find out soon what's gonna happen. Good weather we're having at the moment.

At first I was like that doesnt look to bad.

Then I got to the second photo and I was like, hmm broken foot peg and a bit missing from the fairing, still not a write off.

I saw the 3rd photo and was like "Whooh" and had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

hahahaha when they picked it up for me i was sitting on the side of the road, and i could only see the right side of the bike, i was like "aw thats not too bad" than the guy on the R1 (sorry never got your name) comes over to my side and goes "haha he's looking at the good side" and than i got up and my jaw did this aswell

[easyrider]

I was on the r1 right behind ya! Looked like you were going a bit hot into the corner and then realised it tightened a bit more and pulled the bike up straight to stop then target fixation kicked in or something? Good to see your alright though.

It may just be the subframe that's bent. A friend of mine had similar damage on a cbr250rr and it was just the subframe and an exhaust.

That hill is good at breaking motorbikes.

So feel for you Hurrie

Your bike was the most mint mc19 I've ever seen,you had it looking amazing

Hope you get some answers on the bikes fate soon

You can use Sams cibby in the interim if you like....cause yes!you have to keep riding

[Gibbo89]

gibbo how do i do the derego thing??

not 100% bro, but I would ring up the ltsa ot ltnz (maybe even the post office??)or wherever the rego goes these days and say you want to de-register your bike. I would assume that you will then be sent a cheque in the mail for the money you never got to use.

I just have a feeling that if you just ring your insurance company and they write off your bike, that they cancel/de-reg your bike and pocket that cash from that.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

but if i cancel the rego now, would the insurance company have a fit about how my bike doesnt have a rego and it shouldnt have been on the road? or will they accept that i cancelled it after the crash?

i guess these are the things that you need to find out. it would just be good if you can save yourself some coin as your excess is pretty huge.

Possibly ring a bike shop and see what they say?

If I were to GUESS, it would be that if you canceled it then it would be dated when you chose to cancel it. i.e. on the letter you recieved with the cheque or something.

The bike belongs to you until such time that the insurance company actually pays you out, effectively buying the bike off you. Make your insurance claim and wait to see if they decide to fix it or write it off. If it's just sub frame damage they may fix it, but if it's new fairings, paint, stickers etc they'll probably write it off. Keep onto them to get the answer as soon as you can rather than just waiting for a cheque to turn up. As soon as they tell you they intend to write it off, then get it de-registered quick smart and get your money back. If you're sure it'll be written off then go and de-register it now. Your paper work from this will be dated thus covering your arse.

Having more of a think about this, I would be really surprised if your insurance company cared if it was registered or not. Having rego does not affect them, as long as your bike had a wof at the time then that is the important thing.

You know how everyone with weekend bikes etc are like 'fuck rego - i'll just put my bike on 'hold full time'? They aren't stupid and driving round without insurance. They check to see if they are still insured if they aren't rego'd but have a wof. Have a wee squizz at your insurance policy. I'd be suprised if your were un insured due to a rego issue.
