    Yeah, pretty much mended, still have pains in shoulder, knees, etc and the ribs do give me some gip now and again, but managed to lift a Honda V4 engine into a trailer yesterday, so doing alright.
    Bike is a write off. Bastards have offered me £5000 minus &£500 excess!!!! :mad:
    Have asked them to find me a 13 plate America for sale for that price in the UK!!!! :no_mouth: Waiting on them getting back to me. Because it hadn't got a service stamp between 13 and 15, they knocked £300 off the value, just because it only did 1200 miles during that time, still classed as incomplete service history! Twats the bloody lot of them. :confounded:

    I think gap insurance is always a good option and it doesn't cost much

    Probably another AMerica, just does everything i need, 2 up touring, distance, scratch about without doing silly speeds to get a thrill. Can't see anything else that catches my eye. If a Rocket Touring in decent condition was to come my way, maybe, but depends on how much I get from the robbin 'MCE' feckers and whats around at the time.

    You soon find out why MCE are the cheapest !!!! Pay peanuts, get monkeys !!!!:tired_face:

    Unfortunately we only find out how good an insurance company is when you need them.

    If they were all be rated by customers a lot would go to the wall.

    Might be worth negotiating with the insurers to get your bike back and use for spares if you are going for a similar bike.
    Make sure you keep to a good discipline of daily stretching to help you get back to full mobility.
