It sounds like things are moving in the right direction. Let's hope it all gets sorted quickly.

I’ve now been paid for helmets, and received a small payment for not having my bike. The 3rd party insurer were happy to directly provide a bike or car that they cost at about 20% of the daily rate that their partner claim handler charge them if you use them, it really is a crazy system. That would have been no use to me so I have accepted a few hundred quid which will at least cover the insurance and tax etc while they have bike.

In other news, I’ve been riding my multi since the accident but I took my big triumph for a ride yesterday (first time since I bought the Suzuki). Really enjoyed it and so glad I didn’t sell it.

Well…. 6 weeks later… she’s back

That's good news. Happy with the repairs?

To be fair, it’s very good, I can’t find any fault with it. :-)

Great news and chuffed for you

Genuine question though, this bike is now a cat N I assume? Is there any kind of recompense for riders in this situation, especially if non-fault, as surely its lost some resale value?

Only been in one claim myself and the bike was written off so not been in this situation.

edit - I'm still half asleep! Yep it won't be a cat N.

Yep, as you said, it wasn't written off so should be no categorisation.... But now you mention it I'm sure I've heard of it happening sometimes in error so I'll check again in a few months.
