Err that will be a right off then

[Scooby]

Yeah it's gotta be a write off at that price. It'll be on the register if you choose to get it repaired though Jimbo, and nobody will want it once you've told them *why* it is on the register.

Hi

Well, they normally write a bike off at about 2/3 of the value of it.

£50 an hour is a bit much, but the quote to fix my Bimota includes 14 hours labour (at £30 ph or £35 ph depending on the dealer, plus vat)

Looking at those photographs I would doubt it is worth fixing. Bodywork is probably repairable at about £500, forks will need replacing as will the frame, and those items alone will cost a fortune

All the best

Keith

£50 p/h labour, wtf?

I get charged £18 p/h labour on jobs, and it used to be £15 up until a few months ago.

[zaknafien]

i get charged about £5 p/h for labour

He probably presumes that you want the bike written off... and the more he charges for labour the more chance you have of having it written off

[Scotty]

yeh the bikes got to be atotal write of at that price anyway.
but hey think of the bright side least a few of us on here will be able to get hold of a few spares now...
