Have finally sorted out the payout for bikes stolen in December. Taken a long time as Xmas and me
getting my finger out and there was a period of confusion when their tame supplier quoted for
bikes only and did not include all the bolted on extras. It could have been done in a few days if
I'd wanted.
Their offer was like for like replacements for the 4 bikes and all the kit from their tame mail
order supplier, or a cheque to the same value as they would have paid said tame supplier - £1200
I wanted to deal with a local shop rather than mail order, have all the bolt ons bolted on AND
upgrade to different spec bikes. So I opted for the cheque after contacting the Insurance
replacement guy at Evan's HQ, through whom a far better discount is available than in the shops. So,
I'm throwing in a few hundred to get the deal and bikes I want.
Am going to collect all 4 bikes (Specailized Rockhopper and 3xHardrock on Saturday)
Excellent deal and personalised service from Evans both in shop selecting bikes and kit and from
the HQ guy.
Excellent value insurance policy too! I'm not going to say who just in case too many of you think it
is too good a deal to miss and they take fright: £45 per year to cover all bikes up to a value of
£650 per bike (we specified the value) it used to be £28 till I got a kona nu nu last year!
I've also spent £260 on ground anchors and motorcycle quality security chains in the Garage!
Drilling 4" holes in the concrete floor this morning was not fun
Roll on Sunday morning!
