Bit of a thread resurrection. I've read threads before where you never find out what happened in the end and it always bothers me...

Got an offer from the other side - they've accepted full liability and I've been sent a cheque for 80% of the value of the scooter when I bought it from new last December. I also get the scooter back for nil cost. I'm told it isn't being categorised as anything, because the only damage that wasn't superficial was a fubared rear brake cable, and the only reason it's not being repaired is because of the difficulty in getting replacement bits imported from abroad. Whether this means it's an expensive endeavour or that they're really lazy, I've no idea.

Apparently, my insurer's claims company tells me this means I can do anything I want with it, so I'll probably break even on how much I've bought it for after selling it on as spares/repairs.

I was only using it as a cheap runaround, so I'm pretty chuffed with the result.
