Well I must say I'm shocked. Or perhaps surprised. And pleasantly so for once.
It's not been a month yet since my beloved and well travelled Twin vanished from outside work, and yesterday the Insurance paid out! I was expecting a 3 month wait and dozens of arguments on the phone, but no. Not this time.
And not only did they pay out, but they've actually paid out £350 more than I had it insured for! Which was nice. Dont quite know how that works, but I'm not going to argue with them. I was all prepared with a list of similar bikes off Biketrader for arguement purposes yesterday when I called them, but I didnt need it!
Makes me think now I could've argued the point and got a bit more out of them, but I'm one for the easy life and was a bit taken aback by what they had offered first off!
So, there we are. All done and dusted. Must say I'm loving the Vara, entirely different kettle of fish, but very sexy nonetheless. Whoever said they were ugly?! Tsk!
Looking through Biketrader online yesterday, there were only about a dozen Twins for sale in the whole of the UK. These bikes are clearly sought after (as if the recent spate of thefts wasn't enough proof) so chaps...LOCK 'EM UP GOOD!
Will have a bit of a (virtual) garage sale shortly once I've got myself organised, I've got a load of bits and pieces for the AT that are no longer of use to me...fairing panel, brake/clutch levers, sparks, maybe my panniers too (sniff), topbox inner bag, tankbags etc etc...so watch this space. 8)
