You ok?

Yes all okay thanks  [thumbsup]
Literally hit by a bus ..............parked at the time.
Lucky I had agreed value not market value which gives us quite a bit to
play with .
Shame as very minimal damage apart from the side stand being forced into the ground
which compromised the case , just a little dribble of oil equated to a stat right off.
Off it goes to Manheim auctions  :'(

The hunt starts for a new one . ;D

1 - Glad you're both okay.
2 - looks like Luba's, yeah?
3 - boooo - would have grabbed some of your black bits to swap out on mine.

glad to hear your ok  have fun looking for a new bike  [thumbsup]

 [thumbsdown]

Crap Dez. Pity it had to happen to yer 695 & not the one with the fridge...

So are ya gonna buy another 695? (Wot with them being the best monsters and all...)

There's a cheap 900m up for sale  [thumbsup]

   Sad end to a lovely bike, just glad that neither of you were sitting on it. Why not do something like last time, give your bike to Luba and upgrade yourself ?

Good idea Steve, just the bike below

Bugger  :'(

I really don't get the Stat write off thing for non-structural damage...

     No I was thinking of this one, to complete the cycle.

How does that work in Oz?

Here, if it's insured, and the repair cost is >75-80% of market value, it gets 'salvaged'.

Owner gets a check, bike goes off to auction house to be sold.
Sometimes the owner can buy it back before that (actually, gets a smaller check and can keep the bent bike, but it will always have a 'salvaged' notation on the title.

</thread tangent>

thats how it did work here

but now in 1 state they stop it being registered again ever

this was to stop rebirthing of stolen vehicles

Quick turn around , have to compliment QBE very quick response they had the 695 picked up
the next working day accessed and processed agreed value is the way to go , costs a little more but now have enough to replace her bike with this little hummer. 2010 696 full Termi system
Ventura rack and bag tail tidy one owner [thumbsup]
Should be picking it up next week.
Nice little Christmas pressie for Mrs dogs

Comes with a nice little dogs head on the seat

I can just imagine how much fun she will have riding it and shopping for essential
safety mods .

Super cool man!  [thumbsup] ;D [Dolph]

You don't muck around. Nice pick up.

Is that the shiny/glossy white, or the satin pearl white like on 848?

I've got a customer with a satin pearl white 848.
It'll pick up fingerprints from 20 paces.
And it'll hang onto them like a dog on a fresh bone.

    Nice one Mr and Mrs dogs   [thumbsup] [thumbsup]  Private sale ?  What are the K's and how much ?

Pearl white so no sticky fingers
Rendang we were considering Melvins old S2R800 Tangerine
(on bikesales)for a while but I would of had to eat way to much humble pie  [laugh] from you.
Also the seat was too high for Luba , the 696 is a way better fit and has really good ergo for her
and its not ORANGE
I am looking forward to commuting to work on it  ;D
Just North of 8k   [thumbsup] Low K's

Sad but very good result.
Thought the new Monsters were not a great fit for many blokes!
I am sure she will be comfortable on it.

So Melvin's bike is back up for sale! Wonder why?

cheers
Matty...
