Shame, sad to see a bike go like that.

Time to start breaking it and see what's saleable and giving you a bit more towards the next one. It'll also keep you busy and your mind off other things....

Sorry to hear its written off Chris.
I did hint at it above that they may say that. The rules must have changed as I'm sure Cat B used to be secure destruction of the frame by a registered breaker to ensure it couldn't be rebuilt and sold.

The real bugger for you now though is having to make a claim against a mate, and having to wait until its sorted before you can go buy another one

Cheers,
John.

I expected it to be honest but i still hoped she could be saved. They just told me i can break it and sell what i can but it can never go back on the roab. I was thinking i would cut the frame in half and grind off the numbers before i bin it so that i know it will never be used again

no need to cut it in half, just cut one section of tube out, or one major mount off (e.g. engine mount).
Also not a good idea to grind the numbers off as that leaves it open to enterpretation where the frame came from.

Did you have to buy the bike back, or will they factor that into any settlement ?
Ah, didn't you say you were tpft, so no settlement...
