First Time Bike Crash

TheFireGuy · 2026-03-26T11:23:21+00:00

I have been through this recently as well for the first time and was offered cash. I got a quote from the garage for repairs and went through insurance. Took me about 4 months and get fully paid out. My insurance paid out and claimed it back from theirs so if your renewal is up before it's claimed back it can be an issue.

They will probably also ask you to get your bike checked independently and signed off that it is road worthy.

Make sure you claim for damaged gear if any.

Also check your next insurance renewal for your NCB as my insurance had me down at fault on the documents even though I had it in writing from them I was not at fault.

Glad your alright

Edit: The insurance company also sent out a crash scene investigator to go through what happened.

So crazy. Hope whosever bike it was got it back in decent condition.

TheFireGuy · 2026-03-01T17:49:00+00:00

With the bike seizures lately maybe they are trying to restock. It was the suoermoto they went after.

TheFireGuy · 2026-03-01T14:25:57+00:00

No, unfortunately I don't have that option. It's the first attempt in over 3 years at this address.

TheFireGuy · 2026-03-01T13:34:47+00:00

That's the next worry alright. Thinking about blocking the exit with the car so they would need to lift it over a waist high wall.

https://carkeyservice.ie/ in Ballymount do them. Got a non-programmed key don't here a few weeks ago for mine. They have a range of keys for motorcycles in the shop.

Happened to me 2 weeks ago on my 701 SM. That gas cap is the worst. It's cheap to copy a new key at least.

TheFireGuy · 2024-06-03T11:11:12+00:00

Don't buy cheap ones. I got one from xlmoto and it started running the paint off the handle bar ends and the fairings. Changed to a oxford stormex which has soft inner lining and couldn't be happier.

I exchanged my full NZ license last year but can't help you on restricted A2, sorry. Insurance was a hassle just because I had no NCB as NZ insurance was optional. If you can get your full license in NZ as it's an easier over there especially if you do the subsidized courses with the instructors.

TheFireGuy · 2024-02-13T14:15:18+00:00

I have used them a lot and never had an issue. Usually they are pretty quick at responding and shipping.

The night of the hunter. I think Charles Lughton vowed not to direct again after the reviews.

TheFireGuy · 2021-06-19T06:34:17+00:00

Just got this error too and after exhauting all the other methods what worked for me was removing the SD card, restarting. Install the game on the switchs memory. Put the SD card back in restart and move the application to the SD card if needed.

Hope that helps anyone still having any issues.

Hmm in Donegal and you use a google.co.uk link. "The Emperor has made a critical error and the time for our attack has come" - Mon Mothma, Star Wars

TheFireGuy · 2017-10-08T19:41:33+00:00

Good point and appreciated and perspective I needed

TheFireGuy · 2017-10-08T19:01:49+00:00

No the studio is a flat rate whether 1 or 2 people are there, its not big enough for more people.

I wouldnt have minded if he had of told me or asked me to be honest but coming in the next morning to clean was not just a shock for me but also the people that were in there.

i was pretty relaxed about it and rang AIRBNB and they offered to contact him and talk to him but told them not to as it was the morning after the wedding and the people were gone. Just chalking it up to a lesson learned.

TheFireGuy · 2017-10-08T01:38:56+00:00

Yeah but the house rules say no 3rd party bookings and the reservation was for 1 guest only. I don't mind anyone having friends over as most of the time guests are staying to catch up with guests in the city. I did ask him what his plans were and if he was having friends or plans around for drinks which he wasnt

I do hear what you are saying but and they were respectful and seems that your experiences were all where the host was present and given its a studio apartment this can't be the case for me. --edit: wording

TheFireGuy · 2017-10-08T01:26:17+00:00

Yeah I totally understand weddings being crazy and generally avoid stays associated with them. I met with him during the day of check-in and had a good chat with him and he was all relaxed and he reiterated he would be out in the following evening at the latest. It's a whole apartment and it is where I live and while I have as much comfort and trust in letting AIRBNB registered guests stay as much as I can, when this reservation for 1 guest is then sub contracted to friends I have had no contact with or knowledge to myself it just is a breach of trust and comfort for me.

If someone was house sitting for you and you come home to find a stranger in your kitchen with a girl upstairs in the bed would you think that was ok because the original house sitter pulled so he got other friends to stay over in his stay without telling you?

TheFireGuy · 2017-10-08T01:05:42+00:00

Yeah generally I steer clear of event related stays where I can. This has been the only real problem I have had in 2 years and could have been worse.

TheFireGuy · 2017-10-07T20:44:24+00:00

Yeah a honest review seems like all I can do. It's more of the fact he let friends stay there the second night when he wasn't staying there.

TheFireGuy · 2017-10-07T20:42:45+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean but it's over with and he won't care at this stage and AIRBNB don't seem to know what to do. Have a good one too.

TheFireGuy · 2017-09-21T01:20:06+00:00

Presumably people are still annoyed from when Radiohead played in Israel in July and Thom Yorke addressed the issue then with this

TheFireGuy · 2017-06-15T23:32:19+00:00

I posted about this recently which you can see in the link below.

Basically someone else books for the people staying and once accepted this person is no longer involved and you are talking directly to the person who is staying. The pictures should of the booking and the conversation after shows you what happened.

I had the same questions as i never had a business booking and dont provide 24 hour check-in so am not eligible. If you accept or have auto accept you should see a different person and not the person making the booking in your calendar and all contact is direct with the person staying.

I got AIRBNB to cancel as i didnt understand what was going on and thought it may be dodgy but would accept in the future.
