thanks for all the message of support, bike was worth £1400 approx market value but luckily i managed to buy it for £700 2 months ago so it not a huge loss in the grand scale of things. So basically i am down £700 notes and quite a bit of wasted time making it look nice and shiny in the first photo. Gonna go strip it down today and maybe get £150 for the can and maybe £50 for the rear rim if its ok?
gutted looking back how much fun i had on the bike in the 2 months i owned it.
Pretty sure i am not gonna claim as it not worth if personally money wise after paying the excess and its not worth banging up everyone else's insurance costs. Just gonna take it as a hit.
Maybe if the bike had been locked up it might not have happened, but you cant protect against everything. The bike could have been stolen using force when parked at traffic lights so there is no point in looking back, whats done is done.
