It's a write off? Confused

When? How?

Car hit me from behind on April 7th...

Got the estimate through today, £1500.

That's the value of the bike Sad

There's a frame on the estimate (discontined item), but don't know if thats the main frame or subframe. Either way it's £300 and not available from Honda any more.

Oh well, least I won't have to worry about selling it now.

Might buy it back and rebuild it though, if it is the subframe.

Unlucky, if it's just the subframe you could probably get someone to weld you one up, considering it isn't really under much stress and it's probably quite simple.

Hope the insurance goes through ok.

Cool video, shame about the music. Thumbs Up

Aye, the music was played whilst I was on my merry way to Hospital, and I just thought "how fitting".

I'll do a version without the music in a bit so you can hear the bike.

I was pretty gutted when I got hit by a car and my bike written off. But in the end it worked out all good. I had a 2004 bike with 10k miles on and ended up with a 2005 bike with 500 miles on it. Got new leathers, lid etc and am still waiting for the compensation.

Chin up mate - it will all come good in the end Thumbs Up

The insurance payouts got me my custom title

Cheers Joe Thumbs Up

That's how I'm trying to look at it, should get me a nice new bike/car with the money Mr. Green

My parents want me to get a car before another bike, which is fair enough, but I'm getting my bike test done as soon as I get paid out. Even if I don't get a bike straight away at least I'll have my licence that way Smile

I'm claiming for a new lid/gloves etc, too Wink

Cheers
Jon

unlucky. do u get 2 keep the bike then?

Yeh, they give it back. Well.. 2 of my mates have also been knocked off (says a lot about the cagers in my area), and they've both been given the bikes back + the cash, they didn't even buy them back Confused

If it's a Cat C write off, it can go back on the road... right? You just have to get an exam done on it or something, IIRC...

on some u can put back on the road and some will need an inspection and new mot and some can only be sold for spares. when will u know wot cat will be ?

jonnay · World Chat Champion Joined: 16 Mar 2005 Karma :

When the assessor looks at it. It's only the subframe and panels bent, so I can't see it being more than a cat c...

I was so tempted for a while to stick a 190 bore on it, and use it for track days, but it'd just be too slow and embaressing Sad

i dont know much about write off's tho. i hope its a 1 than u can repair

Cat C can go back on the road and I'm not aware of any test required.

It may be uneconomical to repair with NEW parts but get them second hand, don't worry about it looking immaculate and it may be fairly cheap.

Yeah Cat C can go back on the road.

My mates old bike was taken out by a car, side on - cat C write off, his dad now has it.

Basically put a bit of bodywork on it and hes good to go.

Cat C Basically means that the damage was cosmetic and that the overall cost of parts + labour is bigger than the price they have listed in their book - or it can be repaired and they dont wanna do it.

So it cost pennies to repair his bike because he didnt pay any labour charges Thumbs Up
