To be I’d rather not have had to go through the whole thing but if I can get the BST wheels cheaper, I can claim for less. Win win really! Ducati have had the bike all day and confirmed that all the suspension etc is all ok thankfully. Due to the bike I was on saved a lot of damage to other components thankfully
Yeah, both wheels and tyres are f*$ked @bradders. Pics have been taken as tyre walls are damaged as well as the wheels.
Thankfully, being on a Hypermotard the shocks took a lot of the impact. And obviously the wheels and tyres. I reckon if I’d been on a sports bike I’d be in a bad way!
You have to claim for the OEM quote, then take the cheque dude - and then join my club otherwise you will screw your claim
Shit man, thats even worse!! You can get some lightweight (road) ones for under 2k. I'll see if I can find the company that sells them.
Have you ever concidered spoked excele rims? Choose your colour etc..... https://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/Kineo-Spoked-Wheels-Ducati-821-Hypermotard-SP-2013-onwards.html These would look pretty cool on a hyper imho
These would look pretty good on a multi @bradders They look like the same wheels as they fit to the MV Augusta Dragstar, I’m sure the look is deceiving. Lots of strength in them there wheels
before road repairs were subcontracted to 'price per fill contractors' the hole was cleaned, filled, compacted and sealed perimeter with tar. Now its tarmac chucked in and whacked down. Water runs straight in and blows at the first frost. These bastards should be held accountable, and repair teams put back on the books. Problem is the councils are all but broke, while taking more taxes than ever. Well they have been run well havent they? jail is the only place for the fat exec's. bastard cunts
Mmmmmm assuming that your claim is all sorted ..... mmmmm can I buy your damaged wheels ..... just for a project, type thing, idea I have Plus, anyone know the phone number for Leicester County Council highways department
Personally I'd avoid Carbon wheels, seen too many disintegrate over the years. If you insist on Carbon wheels look at Dymag. Would stick to either OZ or Marchesini tbh. However its just my opinion. For the value you could buy a set of Magnesiums instead. Anyway good luck with the outcome.
Well........ after 90 days, numerous emails, and the British summer nearly over, the council have finally admitted liability and have refunded me the full amount for damages!!
Not great but at least you got there in the end. Did they give you enough for repair or replacement of both wheels ??
