not because i think it represents the value of the bike, but because within 24hrs of advertising the salvage i've had three offers up to £600 more than they want for it, so either way i'm hopefully going to come out ok

now i just need to convince myself not to by a KTM Adventure and ride around europe...

That's good then - at least you can get back enough in total to buy a new one

Riding a KTM Adventure round Europe? Sounds like a fine idea - I'd go for the SM-T though, that looks like fun

Buy a Speed Triple, will keep you more honest in terms of speed (windblast) and has a conking engine. Can get one with Arrow pipes and all the bodyparts for that.

Come out OK? to be fair your getting back more than you paid for it......you should count yourself lucky

holy crap. Actually looks like you were very lucky. Hope you and the bike are back up and on the road soon.

not only have they sent me a new unit, they've sent me everything it comes with from new, so now i've got 2x car mount, bike mount, leads, case, mounting hardware, mains charger, software etc etc

I thought you'd come off again when I saw this thread on the index page!

How much do you want for one of the car mounts?

Hope you're going to pay for that sign, you hoodlum!

Haven't really considered selling them as I couldn't justify much and it's always handy to have a spare if you're planning to do daft things like drive into road signs...

Fair enough.
Planning? Hmmmm, just the word I was looking for
