As some of you may have heard my son (Sonic) had a crash on Saturday at the Bela Bela.

I submitted the claim form together with a quote for the damages at 1pm today. By 3pm I had received back an agreement of loss form to sign and fax back so that they can arrange the payment.

 

2 hrs to process my claim. Clap

 

But now the warning. We hadn't updated the value of his bike since adding some bits and pieces over time so when they checked the bikes replacement value they found we were badly underinsured so they only paid out a percentage of the claim based on the insured versus replacement value. I cannot complain about it as it is my fault.

 

Take it as a lesson, update your insurance schedule and values on a regular basis.

Nice Ian, glad you got sorted Clap

These days with the price increases it seems that you have to update your insurance at least twice a year! What a pain, but in the end its worth it i suppose...

Another up to Northcliff Cycles. Gave them the go ahead at 3pm, fetching the rebuilt bike at 6pm this evening. Thumbs%20Up

Great news. I still need to get insurance on my bike, not a massive amount, but its enough to make a dent in the budget. Glad to hear they cover events as I was warned by many hubbers that few do cover anything outside your locked garage.

Dit is waar jou probleem le...... versekering betaal slegs vir skade...... nie as jy die fiets gebreek het nie en ook nie as dit 'n ontwerp fout was nie. Sorry sussie...... ek het nie veel hoop op hierdie een nie!!!!!!!

Dit is wat vir my ook vertel is en waaroor ek nie baie happy is nie. Ons fancy bikes het net 'n 2 jaar waarborg en as 'n weld los gaan na daai tyd, moet ons dit maar weg gooi want 1. die vervaardiger s? die waarborg is verby en 2. die versekering mkpy s? dit is 'n vervaardigings fout.
