my names is Davide 29 from Islington. I wanted to introduce myself a little better but I have a terrible pain deep in my hearth.
I got a call last Saturday night from my flatmate:
Your bike is burning !
There is nothing left of my wonderful Ninja.
The next day I was told by my neighbors that this is the third time. So why the council didn’t move the parking or why didn’t they place a note saying high risks area? Not even a CCTV.
Can I blame the council…I had renewed in august without fire&theft…I’ve lost my princess…but what now am I buying another bike to let this f****** burn the new one too…:exclamationmark:
Sorry to see this, sad sight, hope I never see my ZX6R like that :w00t: What caused the fire ? Your only recourse is against the person who caused the fire. If it was the scoot parked next to yours then you claim against them, doesn;t matter that your insurance doesn’t cover you for fire that’s only relevant if your bike catches fire on its own. If you can;t trace the person who started it then you may have a problem :crying:
That’s terrible…Sorry to see that and I hope you get a new ride sorted soon.
Thought Islington was too posh for that kind of thing to happen, but I guess you’re not too far from crackhead Camden.
I think unless you get a bike worth just a couple of hundred that would be no loss to you whatever happened to it, Third Party Fire & Theft insurance should be the minimum cover you get.
I’d hazzard a guess that they were all three damaged in the same fire. Judging by the state of the middle one I’d guess that was the centre of the fire. The frame has evaporated:w00t:
Hi all,
i did not know the bike were burned until i talked to the neigbours AFTER MINE. I did talk to the local police and they told they were aware that earlier this year a bike was burned in the park, but same story about CCTV being too expensive. I told them why didnt you move the parking under more lightining or put up some notice as I’ve seen in many areas…even that too expensive?
He said I should have done my research.
I cannot see as anyone will testify that the scooter was burning first.
-I know the scooter had the seat broken so anyone could access the fuel very easily.
-I suspect my bike was the one burned but then mine had an alluminium frame and the fusion point is lower than the steel of the piaggio.
-In addition the Gas Track Suspension Shock could is exploded causing the frame to brake.
-My was the one with the most fuel and plastic.
-The piaggio has only the seats.
WIll await for a report from the Fire Brigade.
I know its my fault not having an insurance and teh lesson learned is that we live in a society where I have to pay 700pounds more to insure my bike and if you cant afford this well as the rest of it…life is for the rich isnt it?
Even if I decide to get a new bike I will not be able to park it there anymore even if I have TPFT insurance.
The sad truth is yesterday while on the bus I couldnt stop looking at the bikes running …I will get another bike and I will hope nothing happens to it?
