Still no resolution from Ducati...

Just thought I'd update you guys about my accident. The factory and Brembo are still analysing my brakes and preparing their report (5 weeks after having the parts in Italy). Ducati UK have offered to replace the parts removed from my bike (callipers/discs/lines/master cylinder) as a 'goodwill gesture', so my insurers can then repair the accident damage. I've declined as the resale value of my bike with a £5000+ insurance payout recorded against it will be peanuts. I've also already lost my no-claims bonus, and I don't see why I should stump up for a massively inflated insurance premium while the 'investigation' trundles on. I've also had other accident related costs too.

I wish I'd never bought the bloody thing in the first place now. I thought buying a prestige marque was worth something? Obviously not
