Rules for binning it on a HAGM

It was sat outside my house for three weeks and never turned a wheel.

Do you own any garments with beige tartan pattern?

I'm beginning to suspect we've got ourselves a Scally.

That's it, you're boned.

 

Until number 3 you were Joey Boswell.

 

Why not save us all the effort and start posting as "Steve the Chav"?

 

Make it like WCs fatblade, and you may get more takers.

Nobody's asked me either, they're all fucking scared of it.

Man's bike, that, see.

wisdom:

It's past that stage now really, it's just going to get more "unusual".
Come next bike time, I really don't know what I'm going to do with it.
I'd like to keep it but I suspect my next main beast will be lighter,
faster and will almost certainly handle better so it could be relegated
to an also-ran. I can't even use it as a hack because the back's been
cut off and I get the (said this a dozen times, maybe) foot wide stripe
of shite up my back in the wet and end up sitting in a puddle of slurry.

Oh! Can you send me your addy again then but put GC in the body
somewhere, there aren't many people real life names I know, see.

 

"Hello Buterkist, can you do bulk orders"

 

I think you've just whooshed me........ Too early to start on the
vodka.

 

No. But I've always understood that if you ride somebody else's bike
or car on your own third party insurance then any damage to said
machine would be damages to a third party, and hence should be
convered. I've never tested this theory out, though.

I think this is bollocks.

 

Not personally, but I suspect if the owner has fully comp. insurance, and
there were no witnesses, then perhaps a little manipulation of the truth
about who was riding might occur.

You'd still want your lost no-claims and excess back off the clumsy twat
though.

 

And that, in a nutshell, is why I always stand and watch the HAGM-fest
on Sunday mornings at the Black Horse. Apart from Bonwick's old shed
of course, 'cos he'd never have noticed any extra damage up to the
point where I'd have to return it in a series of small cardboard
boxes.

 

Ouch

 

I'm certain this is bollocks. It suggests not third party cover, but
comprehensive cover.

 

It _suggests_ that the rider is covered against a claim by a third
party[1] which, in this case, sould be the owner of the vehicle which
was damaged. Comprehensive cover is needed to cover the insured's own
loss.

As I say, I don't _know_ that this is the case, but I've long
suspected that the insurance industry is pulling a fast one by not
making this well-known.

I await a definitive answer from an insurance-law expert[2].

[1] The first and second parties being the insured and the insurer.
[2] i.e. a claims lawyer.

It _suggests_ that when riding or driving the vehicle, you are covered
against a claim by a third party, much as you would be while on/in your
own vehicle. In the same sense, you can't claim against yourself as a
third party when you crash your own vehicle.

Wishful thinking, I fear. But I look forward to being proved wrong.
