Holdup down

[lily]

Just had a message from Holdup to say he has binned his bike but he is ok, apart from a cut finger.

He is currently waiting to be recovered.

He doesn't know how much damage to the bike as not lifted it yet.

But I feel there may be a parts wanted thread!

[the_lone_wolf]

This is a "before" picture isn't it?!


Glad you are ok. Take it easy.

[Jayneflakes]

Hope that you are OK, good luck with the cleaning and repair, there is bound to be some silly bits that are knackered, but I am sure you will find replacements on the Org.

Take it steady folks, it is still crabby out there it seems.

Hugs

[DarrenSV650S]

holdup you pleb! Looks like you've got some more to spray now as well as your seat cowl

Glad you're ok though bud

I've got a few bits that might be of use to you

[Holdup]

Cheers Darren

Just sat in x ray now....

Any hoo I've put photos on facebook, if any one has my facebook can they post the link to the photos here please, ta

[2hys]

looks like you took it to lagunas, you getting them to repair it? hope it hasent knocked ur conferdnce, gws

[thulfi]

Oh no, sorry to hear it mate. 60mph must have been quite a roll. Good job you're ok.

I'm going through finding parts for my bike since my off last monday. Pretty much got everything already, and thats mainly on ebay for an er6. I'm sure you'll find the stuff you need in no time, with the org and what not.

Off's are the most surreal experiences aren't they?. One minute, you're living it up on a bike, the next, you just hope you can get up. I defo prefer the smaller dose of adrenaline of being on the bike as oppose to the huge surge followed by coming off it.

[dizzyblonde]

Actually 60 and fell off.....tshh should hit a deer at 60 and ride away! ;-)

[Specialone]

Unlucky dude, hope your ok :)
Look a lot better once all the crap is washed off, but 60mph, sounds like you got off pretty good.

[Holdup]

looks like you took it to lagunas, you getting them to repair it? hope it hasent knocked ur conferdnce, gws

Nah it's sat at Chambers where i work, i want got get back on already and i think ill repair it myself, gunna give it a few days, get myself back together go wash it off then start up a list

Oh no, sorry to hear it mate. 60mph must have been quite a roll. Good job you're ok.

SV bowling, that's a new one :)

Any inclination to what caused it? Ice? Damp/grease?

[Holdup]

Damp i think, it was nice and dry, but damp patches, thought ahh too fast for this corner (it always sneaks up on me and ive done it 5 times...) hit the front (wrong) brake and just went from under me

[Dave20046]

Ahh I see, ah well your alright that's the main thing.
those plastics round the headlight may be pricey and hope your forks are in a good way...if not there's always a silver lining in the shape of a fork upgrade.

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Just make sure all if you worksm your kit is OK, the bike is straight and true, fix and then carry on :-D

Yea i cant see any front cowls on the bay yet :( and my thoughts exactly, ill be keeping the bike longer now methinks, the forks seem ok, one of the mechanice had a quick look and thinks they are slightly out but we'll see

[Holdup]

Just make sure all if you worksm your kit is OK, the bike is straight and true, fix and then carry on :-D

I need new Jacket, trousers and gloves, boots all good lid is a maybe

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Just remember the SV650 and SV1000 have the same upper fairings

[Dave20046]

Oh yeah forgot you worked at a dealers - hopefully will come in handy. The forks may just be twisted in the yokes.

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Shame you got to pay for it though. All my kit might be paid for by civil claim

[Sean_C]

That's bloody confusing, I thought holdup was talking to himself!

Bad luck there fellah, hope you can get it sorted without too much cost.

[Holdup]

Oh yeah forgot you worked at a dealers - hopefully will come in handy. The forks may just be twisted in the yokes.

Hope so, already said to my Dad he could be installing a gsxr front end :p

Got to work out if its worth claiming for yet, im not sure after excess losing 2 years ncb telling my car insurance ive made a claim etc etc

IIRC car insurance is not affected my bike insurance if they are with different people

I know that feeling. My kit that was wrecked by the lorry was £600 before you even start :-(

[Dave20046]

Ask him if he wants to practise on mine :razz:

My car insurance went awful after a bike claim however I've since found insurers who don't rate agains tbike claims so it might not be as bad as you think. Despite having a claim on my record my bike premium still went down due to the further years (bad :razz:) experience I'd gained.
Then again you have fully comp on a k3? I'm thinking repairs are going to be less than your under 21s excess!

[Red Herring]

Looks like the bike made it round the corner though without you, you sure you lost the front going in, looks more like a lowside coming out.... Sorry mate, not trying to doubt you, just the investigator in me coming out!

[Dave20046]

I think it's worth while analysing crashes

[Holdup]

Dunno cus its still a claim isnt it that ive made

Ill ring up and ask i think, just before i decided what to do, havent looked to see what my excess is yet but i think its around £300

Ha nah its ok, yea defo front as i hit the front brake and i went down :( looks like that ride will have to be put on hold now

[Dave20046]

Insurance regarding bike claims varies I've found only admiral and aviva don't rate against bike claims.
Yeah would have guessed your excess would be around that, I imagine your fairing would be around £100, then it's just pegs, levers, a clipon (try nobbylad) and a few other bits. might not be worth claiming. If the forks are fooked on the other hand, it might be a closer shave.

[Red Herring]

Plenty of time to get it fixed before the weather allows proper riding! You don't get off that easy.

Well, that explains the sleeping with your mum, ha ha

I was really ill when I was knocked out last in hospital. Didn't the first time, but, this time, went mad and couldn't stop being sick...

haha, cheeky sod, first time under and i was going mad till they stabbed me in the leg to stop me

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Second time I been knocked out. First time was after I dislocated my shoulder training for American Football. Morphine rules though!

[fastdruid]

Bike claims don't affect car no claims but you should admit to any accidents.

Of course you could always make the statement "I've had no *car* accidents" (and opposite for the bike).

If you are thinking track bike then the panel colour is less of an issue and there are loads about. Keep an MOT on it though.

Do you use it or a car mainly?

I got a policy cancelled on me for that, and got stripped off shed loads of admin charges. Argued it out for ages, insurance ombudsman etc. ...no joy - not a good idea.

[Littlepeahead]

Good reminder there, if I have an op next week I must remember to ask for an anti-emetic to be administered with the anasthetic. Worked a treat last time.

Dunno what im thinking yet, got some options to weigh up when i asses the damage, im favouring selling it at the moment, whether thats repaired, stripped and sold or as it is, dont really want to go through insurance but it could end up going that way.

Mainly use the car now im not at college

Ouch, having insurance cancelled is one of the real nasty ones too.

Without wanting to derail too much, what happened?

Druid

[Dave20046]

Infact thinking about it I don't think it was for doing what I said above, memories a little hazy but I told the advisor I had had a crash as someone pulled out on me, I was a little vague (but certainly didn't lie and when she enquired as to exactly what happened in the accident and the damage to either vehicle I told her what happened) she made her own assumption and put it as not my fault (which in fairness it wasn't and I got 100%) but as it was still unsettled because the other party was refusing to communicate with anyone it was supposed to be marked down as my fault until proven otherwise. They took my insurance off me, I argued the advisor didn't ask the right questions they said I should have given more information. Insurance ombudsman wouldn't help as it was a 3rd party policy and they'll only help with fully comp. Tried all sorts but basically it was a case of they had my money and there was nothing I could do, got screwed. The company could have easily just changed the policy to correct the status of the accident and invoice me a bit more or did what another insurance did (which was charge me the premium as if the accident hadn't happened on the basis that in the unlikely event it got ruled as my fault I paid the rest to keep the policy) but they didn't want to know as they made more money claiming they had near £100 'admin fees' and cancelling the policy.

That's how I remember it anyway, I'm pretty sure I will have moaned on here about it at the time so a post nearer the time might be more accurate.

[LK-SV]

Doesn't look so bad ....

How is it standing up on its own ?? :-)
