Mawsley Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Sorry to hear about the accident, smallfrowne, hope it all gets sorted without bother. Quote
smallfrowne Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Well good thinking. I doubt bike policy will budge much, Footman James never seem bothered. Car would go up £25... Hmm over 5 years I suppose maybe about a hundred or something.Rough cost for parts so far I reckon is about £570 without any sanding and painting. But then replacement gear will eclipse that slightly... Plus 260 for more boots (I'm quite peeved about the new speed hole) and some new non shredded waddyproof trouse. Or maybe the boots can be repaired but goretex lining... And then Helmet... I mean it seems fine, few grazes on it but feels like the done thing is to distrust it following a bump. Bah. Hmmm. I'll see what she says to £1100 which is being nice really because I hate sanding and painting, and glueing. I reckon insurance job..When listed out it almost feels like I'm taking the piss but I didn't appear out of nowhere on purpose Quote

I would just go through and let them sort it all out, you should get the money back for your track day too as out of pocket expenses. Quote

S-Westerly Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Rode to Portbury and back for my granddaughter's first birthday. Pissed down with rain the whole time so got home a bit soggy. Quote
Ian Frog Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Adjusted ride height by flipping the chain adjusters and adjusted shock lengths as much as I dare and she seems back to normal. Also got rid of the standard radiator shrouds.Right it must be beer O'clock.Cheers Ian Quote

Ian Frog Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Keys aren't the first priority really. There are a lot of things to check before you push that button and many straightforward restorations have been complicated by trying to start too early! Understandable but good practice to curb your impatience lol.Good luck tomorrow Quote
