Done a rough estimate of parts alone and the damage adds up to a tad under 1500 quid (standard silencers over 650 quid! .. and yes I like the standard one) Called the tyre place this morning and spoke to the boss, he was really nice and was very surprised when I told him of the 60 psi. Anyway he asked me to pop over and have a word. I left the bike in the garage and drove over. Again really pleasant, they recognised I was a regular long term customer and where very apologetic and said they would decide this afternoon whether to put it through their insurance or not. Had a phone call afterwards to say it was going through their insurers and a a form was being sent to them and could I forward an estimate etc. Hopefully it all seems to be going well. I'm not bothered claiming for bruising etc, only want the bike sorted.

I'd call that a result. I think you did the right thing talking to the place first - if you'd escalated it immediately with engineers reports and trading standards etc I'm sure it would have been more difficult.

It was a hard call as part of me wanted to go with some solid independent info but I figured being a regular customer I'd give them the benefit as they've been good in the past. It never fails to amaze me how much damage is done by a less than walking speed or off the stand tumble :) SignatureSteve Parry BMW R45 01 Kawasaki ZX12-R 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650 87 Yamaha FS1 Sukida SK90PY 91 Kawasaki AR50 07 VW Passat SE Estate for comfort www.gwynfryn.co.uk >It never fails to amaze me how much damage is done by a less than walking >speed or off the stand tumble :) Oh sure - my ZX10R was gently knocked off its stand by a bloke reversing his car a couple of months ago - the bill was over 1200 quid.

My SV was slid gently under the rear bumper of a Honda Accord at 15mph max - it suffered ?2300 worth of damage at Suzuki prices.

I lobbed the Zed up a curb, over the pavement and down into a ditch which resulted in the need for a new mirror, a new indicator and a poxy plastic cover for the left hand side of the rad. Oh yeah, and a likkle dint on t'tank where the handlebars caught it. I did more damage to my VN by letting it roll off the side stand on the drive.

Nah it's totally ride able (or will when I reduce the tyre pressure from 60psi and readjust the rear wheel).

Good, but they need to sort their tyre pressure gauges out PDQ.
