    Thank you.

    Well back in 83 when broke both wrists it took a year before I could bear weight on them I could pull ok but not push the left wrist never healed correctly.

    So now having more information will try to do nothing that might hinder the healing. Plezier

    Smoking is not an issue as have never even tried it never mind doing it. Thanks for the info on your covers in the spring the intention is to rearrange the barn/garage move stuff around some which should not really be in there and make room for the Trophy will still need to use the cover to keep the dust off and intend to block in the eaves as being a barn the roof does not reach the top of the walls and that allows dust and fine soil particles to enter. Make more of the proper garage.

    We have a new update finally managed to get the insurance claim filed this morning and they say that someone may be round tomorrow to assess the Ducati.

    We did try to file the claim before Christmas but the Police had not given me the protocol slip never heard of this but it;s required and should have been given to me at the interview about the collision. The policeman had a bit of trouble locating it. Anyway they have it now and hopefully the claim for the bike can be processed sensibly and not need a trip to court for a proper payout.

    The inspection went ok however I have no idea as to when a settlement will be made as it seems we are waiting for the Police accident specialist to examine the local police report and decide who was to blame and until the insurance gets this report they cannot do anything more. Am told it can take moths maybe 8 months for the Police to do this.

    Meanwhile the hospital discharged me from Physio have a sheet to take to my GP from them when I can get to see him that is currently cannot get the car out due to the wet and snow it's absolutely stuck the snow is melting but the ground is totally sodden and thee is no hope that this useless Merc 200 will be able to move in the next few days I really hate this car now wish I had never seen it let alone bought it will be getting a SUV with 4WD as soon as I can get rid of this Mercedes. Should never have sold the Discovery TD5!

    Not really comparable, as my claim was in UK with a third party who admitted fault, but it might give a bit of comfort.

    It took 15 months to fully resolve my claim. The legal case for accident repair took at least 6 months, then the claim for insurance company costs and my excess payment took a further 9 months.

    It felt as if it would never end and to be honest I'd given up on getting my excess back!

    sorry about the car, I sold a land rover and wished that I hadn’t.
    Gosh things are taking a long time to sort to sort the insurance payout.

    Oh I know that it will take time especially the injury part of the claim as they cannot even start thinking of that until the Doctors and Surgeon says that is as good as it's going to get then the arguing starts! The Doctor of physio asked me about pain so told her how it is and she just said you can expect it to be like that for a year at least ........................ oh well.

    The insurance agent in the office said the claim for the bike will be dealt with first but until the Police experts get the thumb for out of their backside and get their report to the insurance the insurance cannot do anything so am stuck in limbo. The settlement funds from the bike could help right now to help towards a SUV type vehicle so I can get out of here right now due to the wet and snow am stuck as the Mercedes C200 is useless in these conditions it's been listed for sale since January when everything was renewed, insurance, test, and vignette has two brand new winter tyres on the rear after one of the all season tyres on the front failed, lost all air while I was driving, which wrecked the sidewall. Am willing to take a hit on the price to get shot of it and get something can get in and out of this place.

    @Plezier Glad things seem to be moving but what a palaver.
