Not saying anymore about that because too many people out there dont believe this shit really happens, but its almost a career for some. :eek
On the news today there was a guy from the Insurance Industry commenting that the number of accidents has gone down by 31%, but the number of claims for Personal Injury had gone up by 50%!!!
Quote:Got a fully comp quote at around £150, but when a bike gets past a certain age/value even a minor spill can lead to a write off because they price repairs on new parts, even if its possible to sort it with aftermarket/second hand parts for less than the price of your excess.
Sure, but if it's a Category C or D write-off, you can buy it back from the insurers and fix it yourself.
