My bike is ticking...

[phillywilly]

So everything has gone horribly horribly wrong I was cleaning the carb bodies yesterday ready for reassembly and then this happened











My poor 600 is gone  :'( :'( :'( :'(

Not likely to be getting another one any time soon - the excess on my insurance policy is half of what the bike is insured for, plus there is the no claims discount that will disappear and cost me more money in the future - long story short is that even if I did claim I wouldn't be able to afford to buy another.

Oh and I'm not certain what started the fire, but the leading guess is that it was the home made ultrasonic bath - so [size=1.35em]DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME[/size]

what  a screwed up system this country has when multi billion pound insurance companies charge  you so much for excess that its not worth claiming on an item when you really need their help !!!
feel really bad for you dead eye
p.s couldnt you say the fire started with the tumble drier and claim off your landlords insurance ?  :eek :eek
