well, insurance have been informed, forms in post etc. they estimate 6-8 weeks. which means 6-8 weeks of paying £60 a week train fares as opposed to £22 week in fuel.
unfortunately, the coffers are empty so i cant buy a bike with my own cash in the interim either.
i have no idea how this might affect my insurance on the next bike, i’ve never had a bike theft before. I spoke to my insurance and they said i’d lose 2 years NCB. Was considering a litre bike next, may have to rethink that idea!
Gutted for you. Keep a stiff upper lip, some of the LB memebers have got their bikes back. Keep your eyes peeled and take a drive around your less “upmarket” areas.
Helped a couple of mates out - Real good and quick - provide a hire bike whilst you sorting out insurance claim, no probs, no affect your ongoing claim
suspect its long gone and stripped into parts by now.
i wonder if police forces actually look out for alphadotted stuff?? i’ve often wondered about wether it’s worth having or not, and the conclusion i’ve always come to is that if its already on the bike then thats fine, but i wouldn’t bother buying it…
sit back, relax, enjoy the train journeys into work, ponder the next bike and wait for the insurance!
