I shall be keeping my bike. The phrase was ' owner refuses permission to dispose '. Like to see them remove it from my property :ouch:

Round two is yet to come. They didn't value my bike to my liking. Very undervalued in fact. So I expect one more skirmish for settlement.
When I have that, I shall contact those who have offered spares to me :thumbsup:

Then comes me attempting to play mechanic.

BIG NEWS.

Payout for repairs agreed. I shall be contacting those with parts shortly, as soon as it's cleared.

Have whatever drink you fancy. Although I'll have a quiet cuppa. There's been a sickness bug forced on me :sick:

So glad this is over. It's amazing how they try to write off a bike which is clearly not dangerous, and actually pretty awesome!
My next thread will be found soon in one of the technical sections entitled

'Teach a doofus mechanical magickery ' :tada:

Awesome news, I'll take a shot of Kahlua in my coffee, thanks!

Don't sweat about the mechanics, we're here to help, I've learned a huge amount of stuff this year by doing most of my own spanner work, if you can take things methodically and not rush then most things are fairly straightforward. Check out your local night classes and things - I did a motorbike maintenance one years ago and it gave me the confidence to have a go, no disasters to date!
