Yesterday i found out that they had sold my bike. Without my knowledge. We had come to no agreement yet on a figure. And I had received no correspondence at all from by Equity Red Star.
Ducati insurance all credit to them were just as shocked as me. This is theft.
Police and a solicitor will be involved if it’s not sorted by the end of today.

Angry Clint.

I wouldn't let the salvage company collect my bike until we'd agreed a value!!!
After the accident the first thing I did was to get the bike back to my home, that didn't stop the salvage company ringing every other day to collect the bike, in the end I had to tell Equity to stop them ringing until the value had been sorted!!

Bugga, I've just renewd and it with ERS! Best not have an incident then

Let me know how you get on Clint. That does sound a bit off to me as I always believed the final offer may include an offer for you to buy the salvage.

**** !! Well it sounds like you're ok at least, give me a call when you've got a minute matey.

feel for you guys.

here is a suggestion that might possibly save you a bit of dosh.
go buy yourself a cheap old classic bike, join the vintage motorcycle club, and insure all your bikes (old and new) under their policy (through footman james).
It will potentially save you a bundle in the long run.

Insurance companies and Banks are both just legalised robbers, where is Robin Hood when you need him?
