URGENT. Just had a non fault incident. What to do?
Discussion
I'm quite surprised someone with your amount of time of the forum has to ask questions like that, and will no doubt be shocked at the outcome. Bit of a bugbear of mine.
Suggest you read your policy, it will tell you what to do in the event of an accident.
Personally, if it's only minor and you're willing to sort it yourself, I wouldn't inform anybody.

Not much chance of any thing other than non fault is there?
I wasnt even braking, they drove into the back of me.
Policeman said ive got nothing to worry about.
Anyway, ive informed MCE by email, but stated i dont want to claim through my policy.
Ive also emailed the car drivers insurance (NFU) and stated the facts. Is that right?

Anyone want to take a guess on whether it will get repaired or scrapped?
I dont want it back.
Will the rear subframe be bent?
How about the swingarm?
Wheel and tyre's fked.
New rear indicators.
Numberplate is snapped off.
I know its hard to say, but i definately dont want to be fobbed off with a bike with a bent chassis.

Quite possibly...but the fact is you cant do anything about it now, let the insurers do the running around, paying for storage and assessing it in the coming days/weeks, I was paid out very fairly and quickly when I last wrote a bike off.I dont want it back.

Go and put the kettle on now..

Got to be a write off surely? Bike parts prices are ridiculously high.
Might be worth buying back from insurance company though if it's cheap enough. I bet you could fix it with used parts quite cheaply.
I was thinking that. Might be worth buying back from insurance company though if it's cheap enough. I bet you could fix it with used parts quite cheaply.
Only issue is, i wouldnt want to ride it. And Cat D bikes are hard to sell.
