Just before I put the V Strom off the road for the winter I bought a scooter as a winter hack.
You probably won't use this bloke but just in case !
This company picked up a scooter I bought back in June. Bike was dropped sometime in transit. When it arrived the owner Alan said just get it repaired and his insurance would cover it. I got the estimates (only £300 ) and he said go ahead.
The bike shop I chose does work for me on other bikes I own so It was the obvious choice.
On completion of the repair I paid the shop and got the invoice made out to him. He won't take my calls now and I guess he won't be paying up. Its not alot of money and I never paid him for the transport so I am only out a hundred quid or so, but it might have been a different story if it was a very expensive bike and the damage ran to to 4 figures.
