My score is 2 written off :frown: and owned 5 :smile:. Wrote off a 500 Pantah, fantastic bike, lost it at Tullybackurt between Couper Angus and Dundee. Next one I owned was a 900 Darmah SS, another fantastic bike which survived in my hands only to be sold to pay the credit card bill off, from buying bits to keep it on the road. A 900 normal Darmah was written off next, just wasn't paying attention when I should have been, going around the corner at Monikie reservoir when a car was stopped waiting to turn into the pub car park. A 1992 900 SS followed which was, yes fantastic, loved taking it over the Cairn a Mount a very special bike, which had to be sold because we were skint. Just got a 1995 900SS in need of a bit of work, fingers crossed I can manage to keep it.
Only 1 for me, my 650 Pantah which I bought back and put back on the road. Or 2 if you count the 750SS I killed for my Radical Pantah project...
0 write offs for me too, maybe im not riding fast enough? (have you thought of selling the 900 and getting some more training?):tongue:
Write off as not damaged beyond repair or write off because insurance company said so? If latter does it have to be different bikes?
Too cryptic Lucaz - how many ducs have you trashed? If trashed, fixed, trashed again, then that would make for an interesting anecdote.
These are decent roads! My folks live up near Stonehaven so I travel around these lot a fair bit. Bad news on the write offs though! I can't wait to take the 848 on these roads. I love the one between Perth and Forfar, then over to the coast and up the A92 to Stonehaven. It's an ace run that you can cover some ground on too. Sorry for the thread drift. Andy
3 x GP10 6 x GP11 5 x GP12 32 x WSBK 2004 ... 2012 7 x BSB and then i woke up and had breakfast... Koen ps : 0 write offs - 1 scruffed fairing and tank on a 94/916SP on Adenauer Forst on the Nurburg
0 My beloved Honda Bros 650 was an economic write off in 2009, when it was knocked over while parked up, crushing the front mudguard, and denting the tank. Luckily my neighbours noted down the 4x4 car reg. plate, and I pleaded with a local independant bike shop to manage the claim in such a way as I kept the vehicle. The 4x4 owner was stung for £700 repairs, and nearly £2500 in bike hire charges (Z750). There's something very wrong with a bike insurance industry where hire bikes cost nearly £500 a week. Bros still going strong at 155,000km. :smile:
Only 1 - the 749 that missed a gear and spat me off. Even then it could easily have been fixed (and later was) but once the insurance had seen the quote for replacing all scuffed parts with new... On the other hand, I must have bought my Pantah about 3 or 4 times over. I was always wrecking it and having to have it repaired. No sooner was it all shiny and repainted than I wrecked it again. Ambition outweighing talent.
