Hi,my lovely z750 is smashed up,some idiot reversed into it whilst it was parked!Can anyone tell me if I have a choice of where it will be repaired,or do I have to go where insurers say?it's not written off but left side badly damaged,tank dented,gear change all smashed up,cover on side all dented,luckily Fully Comp,any help would be appreciated,as not sure where I stand.Cheers.

Its up to you whether you involve the insurance or not. If its too bad i would prefer to go through the insurace and them write it off and you get a new bike that you know is perfect again.

[roxy]

i`d go along with what jons telling you mate 


shit to hear about yer bike tho 

[davmail]

Cheers  guys,I don't think it will be written off,so if repair can be done do I have a say on where it goes?

[roxy]

yes mate it`s your bike and its you that paid the insurance for it.
if they give you a place you dont want to take it tell them where you want it fixed.

[davmail]

Lovely,cheers roxy,just what I wanted to know....... but is that absolute?They can't argue or tell me where it's going?

[Chrisblack10r]

no mate they cant, but if you dont want it back and have it writen off then damage the frame with the ball of a ball pain hammer, that way they have to replace the frame, which usually writes the bike off

[davmail]

Ooooh,sounds nasty,trouble is bike has been collected by recovery,is in West Drayton overnight until they decide where its going,but I wanna decide where it's going,can I INSIST on where it goes,would like it back really.It's a non-fault accident.

[Chrisblack10r]

no mate, you can insist where it goes as previously said mate

[davmail]

Terrific,thanks.Much appreciated.

[Andy J]

sorry to hear of this mate, hope it gets fixed quickly 

[davmail]

sorry to hear of this mate, hope it gets fixed quickly 

Thanks Andy,I am really pissed off about it,just been told that whatever ,I have to pay the 'excess' on my policy,so some twat smashes me bike,and I have to pay out,don't seem right to me.I have NO transport to do my work,and I cant go anywhere,anyway,I am ok,thats the main thing,thanks for your sympathy.I am gonna go away and  cry now.

[Andy J]

so don't you know who knocked it over etc  , then your insurance will claim from theirs and will recover your excess in the process 

[davmail]

Yeah,but they want the excess from me first!!!So,some idiot knocks it over,then I pay a couple of hundred quid I aint got,dont seem right to me,I do know who did it,got ALL insurance details etc.

[Andy J]

yes but you'll get it back mate    if you push them hard they might waiver it due to the way the accident happened perhaps but I guess excess is excess really but you will get it back
