Hi,
I am posting here for advise on a claim my friend is making for his motorbike, and it is so complicated and crazy! So please bear with me, I will try explain it as simply as possible.
The motorbike was bought, new, in april.
INCIDENT ONE.
In the third week of may, a tractor and trailer reversed into his bike, while he was parked, sitting on it, with pillion. The trailer wheel damaged the back left of the bike and grazed the pillion passengers leg.
The company who owned the tractor advised my friend to get a quote from the garage he bought it from for cost of damages, which he did the next day.
Although damaged, the bike was still road worthy.
INCIDENT TWO.
2 days later, my friend went for a long ride with convoy.
A car pulled out in front of him, cause him to brake, wheel locked, he came off and the bike went down road.
Most of the damage caused from this was on the left side of the bike.
Now, because the second claim is getting reviewed and disputed, yadda yadda, the 3rd party insurance are not yet paying out for the bike to be fixed for incident two. he is getting the damaged bike delivered back to him.
Ideally he wants to sell the bike, as he cannot afford the repairs himself, and leaving it to sit in the drive doing nothing is a waste.
He would prefer to sell the bike as is (for spares or repairs), and buy another bike as he needs transport.
As the bike has potentially been devalued due to incident one (The back end probably would not have been affected by Incident two, as the bike slid on its side on the road), does any one think incident one claim is still valid?
He has an official quote from the garage he bought it from for the work for incident one (luckily he got the quote before incident two!!) which the company had advised him to get.
I hope this is enough info
please reply!! thanks.
