G'day guys n gals

Just though I'd post an update of what ended up happening with my bike n gear. It may help someone else at some stage...

Basically I took the bike to get a smash quote at frasers... Quote came to around 9k... I thought they were going to write off the bike, however when the assessor came, he found a few things that were just wear n tear, and manged to negotiate the price down to 5.5k.

Turned out they had a Termi kit for the 620' which they quoted 2k for, a new tank was 2k, and the other items were my clutch lever, gear lever, mirrors and a new rear seat cowl. All the damage bar my termi's was superficial, and didn't really need to be replaced, so I took it home and decided to fix it myself...

Insurance cut me a chq for 5.5k for the bike and they also gave me another $1500 for my gear, being a shoei tzx, visor and a new Danese jacket( jacket just got small scratch but the helmet is toast).

I got some replacement termis from a dmf member (thanks dom) for $450, and thats all i had to spend  on the bike. Got a new helmet snd jacket, and spent a sizeable portion of the leftovers on mods for the s4rs  Grin

All in all it ended up well for me, I just had to send photos of my damaged gear, and quotes for replacements... No questions asked and no disputes. I was really surprised how easy the whole thing was, as this was not my insurance company, it was the other guys.

Thanks again to all who offered support and advice  waytogo Lips Sealed

No worries kyle Grin.... The timing was just right, it was meant to be  Wink

As for the insurer, it was nrma, but it was the other guys insurer, not mine. I didn't even inform my insurance co... I was stoked when they said they'll pay me rather than the dealer... Scored well form an unfortunate event  waytogo

Exactly right Betty.... Nothing empties a bank balance like a ducati and a freely used debit card  Grin... It's been fun though. Pretty much done modding the rs now, just waiting on a few more packages to arrive
