What's worse than crashing your bike?

Do you get the option to buy it back with French insurance? Would make a great track bike.

Dunno. First time we have claimed for anything but I might ask. Could be the track hack for the local track

By way of an update, they have now officially written the bike off. Sad to see it go, but it's done now.

We've got some paperwork to sort over the next week or so and then i guess a cheque will arrive at some point.

Shopping will then commence!

As you say, sad it's gone Cookie but hopefully something good can now come out of the incident and let the shopping commence

What's the short list?

And is this bike for you or Jane

Nice - generally whatever bike Jane wants will be black

Maybe Jane would like a brute with the power of 160 italian stallions

So to answer the question of the thread....

How can those machines be classed as middle weight ?

Well just to round off this episode the insurance finally paid out today.

We have to wait for various bits of paperwork to catchup with this and a certificate of destruction / sale and then we can cancel the insurance policy we are still paying on a pile of bits

Work will then begin in earnest for a replacement. We have already been to the local Ducati dealer who was crap (no demo bikes bar a Multistrada??) so a decent dealer will be found.

I'm tempted to test in France and buy nearly new in the UK so may need a slapper or two's help depending on how it plays out. No rush as Mrs C doesnt ride for 6 months of the year anyway. We do need to find one for people to ride next year in the summer

Presently it seems to be raining a lot so i suspect it will not be this month
