IT used to be a pain in the rear withthe onus on you to get the quotes which was nice and easy with a non-rideable/driveable vehicle but now most insurance companies deal direct with approved repair centres so they take it away and bring it back "fixed".
Not had any bike claims but car approved centres leave a lot to be desired. With my car and the wifes car on a couple of claims over the last 5-10 years have resulted in me rejecting the repairs at least twice on each repair. They take the piss with what they think they can get away with. However it ends up, if they repair it rather than write it off (doesnt take much on an older vehicle) give the bike a bloody good check over BEFORE you sign anything and DO NOT take it away and book it in again later. Leave it with them and hang on to the loan vehicle as it focuses their minds when they potentially have another upset customer to deal with due to not havng a loaner available.
