Unfortunately yes. You gotta be a pain to get dealt with quickly, if you stay quiet they'll forget about you any you'll drift to the back of the que. UK service at its best

Mine was just short of being written off in January - even with all the wranglings with the insurance company, ordering parts, waiting for them to arrive and fitting everything back up myself, it was back on the road looking brand new just short of four weeks after I threw it under a car.

Sorry I don't know the details of this but have you sorted out who is paying the excess
e.g. Although my accident was not my fault I have had to pay the £250 excess till the 3rd party admits liability. I have been paid for the repair work but it is very long winded over the other costs

yup .......... i am

£500 which i then need to claim back

anywho.........
my bike is booked in for tuesday

which is nice

If you get the 3rd party to admit fault then you should not have to pay the excess... I know I didn't.

oh

i was told, that i would have to pay, then claim it back, they have admitted fault (AFAIK) i will look into this, as im not keen on paying £500 then waiting ages to claim it back
