May have been back on the road in Thailand with the low prices for panels and spares, here the cost quadruples. All rests on the money you get from the insurers and buying a replacement.triaxor wrote:A little update, Insurance assessors just called, the verdict is that my beloved PCX is uneconomical to repair, yep that's right folks, she's been written offfeeling gutted
Her frame was also damaged they said, so dunno how it works over there but here it would have to be reregged as a Q plate because of a new frame probably..iceman wrote:May have been back on the road in Thailand with the low prices for panels and spares, here the cost quadruples.

hopefully, have to see what they give me, should be full amount for a brand new machine as mine was virtually showroom fresh..homie wrote:A broken bone cost more than the whole bike... understandable
You will be getting a check, will you be buying another PCX is the question now.

but other aspects of a collision can offset nicely but not in this case unfortunately. Now can I ask what happens to the wreck because there are possibilities if you can hang on to it.They were great and I should have my cast off in a couple of weeks hopefullywillie5094 wrote:Triaxor sorry to hear you came off your beloved PCX, the A816 Lochgilphead to Oban is a bummer of a road even in the best of conditions, personally I have never ridden it on my PCX but I have done in an ambulance so I hope my colleagues treated you well and you are on the road to recovery.
it was just that one corner that I seriously misjudged, apparently it's fooled a few others too 
here is the Corner here (Follow the white van past the junction) I was doing 50MPH when I noticed it, as you can imagine, I didn't slow down fast enough and came off at around 30 MPH 
Please clock in, and say hiI nearly did as I ended up hanging upside down holding onto a tree on the steep embankment, According to the traffic officer (Andy I believe his name was) a few have been caught out there, and I'm sure it was the Oban crew that got me, took me to Lorn and Islands Hospital A&E.willie5094 wrote:Not a nice corner to catch you out you could have ended upon top of the fish farm, its not a corner that catches many out well not any that we are sent to anyway, was it an Oban crew that picked you up, not me as I was in Portugal at the time.
Well it was a VW Passat blocking them when I was theregn2 wrote:No wonder you came off, there's a ruddy great van blocking your view of the sharp turn chevrons!
Insurance company just called, they're authorising a replacement brand new PCX, all I have to pay is the excess and OTR charges, original insurance is being transferred to it toohomie wrote:Never works out like thattriaxor wrote:hopefully, have to see what they give me, should be full amount for a brand new machine as mine was virtually showroom fresh..homie wrote:A broken bone cost more than the whole bike... understandable

I probably can, but unfortunately I don't have the funds to buy ithomie wrote:Great insurance company sir! Congratulations, the bitter is over and now the sweet. Are we certain there is no price you can pay to recover the damaged vehicle? I would push for a second project bike. Once my Honda was stolen years ago and when found it was trashed. I had already recovered from the insurance but the stolen one was mine for the junkyard storage fee. Somewhere your precious is out there in a salvage yard... find her.
but hey it's going well so far help me! help me! I want to come home, please help metriaxor wrote:I probably can, but unfortunately I don't have the funds to buy ithomie wrote:Great insurance company sir!
