Andrew Dalton wrote a very good piece (as are all his articles) in Bike magazine warning about potential perils of accepting a loan bike from an insurance company. He gave an example (if i recall) where a non-fault victim accepted a loan bike with a verbal reassurance that he would not have to pay, signed the paperwork without reading it and was then hit with a bill for over a oner a day for keeping it, (30k in total or something silly?) so caution required.
We all know that we don't / won't usually get back the large sums of money spent on bikes getting them up together, these bills are not reflected in the subsequent market value. The sad reality is a financial hit one way or another following any accident, fault or not.
I feel for you and hope that it ends soon and without too much more loss, worry and inconvenience.
is it clean enough?
