The insurance assessor called 26/06/2017 , we spoke , I stated that the bike was not being written off , he agreed providing as I suggested , it was a self repair ,I gave him my list of parts + list of incidentals which inc a tyre changing to the new rim , he said NO , a new tyre will be fitted.
he rung back later that day and offered s figure much higher than I expected
I am just awaiting a BACS transfer
