My beloved Daytona damage - NOW REPAIRED!

[JAYJAY]

Well I got the estimate for repairs after a muppet in a Clio decided not to look where he was going - £2112 - on a 10 yr old bike

Still - if they write it off I'll have some cash towards a second bike - any suggestions?

Worse is that the solicitors reckon up to 3 months to settle - so it looks like embarrassment riding my much loved Daytona with the scrapes on the o/s for the rest of the season!!

Any advice on speeding up the process?

Sorry to hear that if they write it of you could buy it back and use it as a project turn it into a street fighter :-[

One which leaks oil, has the pedels on the correct side, and requires a tickle and a kick to make it run!!!!
