how about this then mark. i phoned my insurance co. and they said i had to recover the bike from the scene of the accident myself, then they will come and pick it up from my house. after telling them how fucking stupid that was and them threatening to put the phone down if i didn't calm down i agreed to pick it up. i phoned a mate with a van but had to wait until he finished work. we got there about 6.30pm and would you believe it. some ******* low lives had nicked it. must be after the parts, engine,gearbox,wheels etc. now it's turned into a nightmare between the insurance co. and the old bill. never mind, shit happens. hope everything's ok with you. see ya soon mate
