They don't as far as I knowbut her insurers are admiral, so its all being dealt with via them.
Ah yeah of course.
An animated gif of 'the crash' has just appeared on my Google+ stream, from a dude in the states.
He's on one of the latest failblog vids as well

Not buying anything for the bike this month lasted all of 2 days! New hugger arrived today!
1.4 seconds or something like that is all the time I had to do something, I braked like 99.99% of people would do
Today I received the bike back though
Let the rebuild begin, I have a track day beginning of May so don't have much time to get it sorted!

Mine had to go into the local shop today. My foot was covered in coolant this morning from the lower left tube. Not had a problem since I got it back a couple of weeks ago so no idea if it was something that was never repaired from the accident or just coincidence that it broke today.
Would have done it myself, but didn't really want to ride home with leaky coolant so just gave it to the shop to fix.
Going to send the invoice to the insurance company and see what they say. I'm not expecting much, but worth a shot.

Yeah I will try and source parts and get her back on the road eventually, need a whole front end though, including ram tubes, headlight, the small stupid bits of plastic underneath etc so going to be easily like what £500 ish? tempted by the cheap chinese complete fairing kids
No idea on either yet, a disk is slightly bent so that is getting sent off, wheel I will look over this weekend and forks not sure either, I am going to get them upgraded with K-Tech internals so whoever fits then can check if they are straight too
your lucky tefal
I just found out its now £20 a puncture repairouch,up from £17
was funny he snapped the wrench getting one of the nuts off, good lol snap on quality

Looks loads better with a hugger.
Dont encourage me
wonder how much a tank respray would be....In two days time it will probably have working clip ons again but will be minus brake disks and most likely forks
