Was it on the condition you went and bought a proper bike afterwards
Pretty much ha - This was years and years ago now before I got to mid-life crisis age and got on tracks!
Actually. Am I old enough for a mid life crisis yet?
MCE - Had a crash, told I would get a call about arranging a courtesy bike... got called 2 hours later by a third-party company who are subcontracted by MCE refusing to give me one. Claim went on for over 3 years with VERY little contact i.e. once every 5 months despite calling them being told I would get a phone call back and never did, told if I changed insurers at any point I would lose my NCB bonus despite being protected because of the open claim.
They cancelled my insurance mid-policy, despite it being paid for the year and then couldn't find any record of it and I had to provide bank transaction numbers etc. Was never given a reason to why it was cancelled and told it had been cancelled a month before hand.
Changed my KTM to an identical model, year and colour and premium went up by £200/year without any reason being known, asked if I would save anything if I installed a GPS tracking device and was told it would go up by £150 per year and an admin fee of £40.
They called me up to tell me my policy was coming up for renewal and told me the new difference (Still NCB protected claim closed in my favour.) went up by £1100, ran a compare the market and the MCE quote was #1 @ £200 per year despite being told it would cost me £1650 on the phone. Called up and asked.. told he would speak to his manage and they came back with £1350.. told them about their quote online and he said he couldn't match their quotes online. Was emailed about documents being available on their portal website, they then were all removed and replaced with a payment breakdown - took 4 phonecalls to get a copy of my insurance policy.

Sounds as though you've been through hell and back with MCE. From my own experiences I have to say they are a joke of an insurance company. I know this thread is a little old now but I hope you managed to get all the outstanding issues with them solved because they seem to love taking the proverbial piss out of any of their customers!

Bit if variety keeps it going.
It's like I'm the responsible one really
It's like good cop, bad cop! Dunno where @Marbro_za comes in though
jeez bike looks like a mess, hope there wont be any hidden defects and that the rider wont be anything more then sore. Underwear wise all hope is lost most likely

Ok, what would cause the tire to slip off the rim like that?
Manufacturer defect on the bead or maybe inflation problem?

It's called hitting the floor a few times at 150mph plus
You lost me! I just crawled out of bed and my energy shot has not kicked in yet.
Do you mean to that the bike had been doing jumps?

Check the video
He high sided, bike flipped about six times and got ripped to bits
Oh, I thought the tire caused the crash instead of being the result of it!
Again, still waking up.
