It'd be a real shame if you said you went out on track with it and wrecked the fairings and such like, cos then they'd only get the shell of the bike back. That's a point? Is it now technically insured? And would you be compnesated if say half of it were stolen from you?
I notified my insurance company last night to make sure I've done everything I could. Its not back together yet so not rideable anyway but I am assuming my insurance would not be valid. Thus, if stolen at present I would probably be doubly in the poo.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Mav's experience is not unique!
According to the notification the police left, I'm not allowed to sell or modify the bike in any way without leaving myself open to prosecution etc. At present I have bits all over the garage and basement so hopefully this thing is resolved before Spring gets too much closer.
Tell the Police you wish to claim the police property act on the vehicle as you have paid out good money for it, once you have a police property act on a vehicle then you have more right to it if the insurance company decide to sell it and they will have to give you first refusal, as long as the guy or girl who it was stolen from doesn't do the same. That's if you want it back that is, might be worth it though as it would probably be a substancially reduced rate. Scott
I've just got some more feedback from the police. It seems my bike has never been reported stolen or had any insurance claim made in respect of theft. Thus, its looking more likely that someone is trying to pull some sort of scam. Certainly, the person claiming the theft is now going to have to go some to prove it is their bike. I shall sleep a little easier tonight!
