[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 129297, member: 3625"] I'm in the US and use Hagerty. I'm not sure if it works as well across the pond, but I'm pretty satisfied with them. The prices are fair and I had a good result two years ago when the garage that at the time housed my '82 R100RS caught fire. They wrote the bike off as a total loss and let me keep the "remains" for $500. I got the check in a few days. The damage was confined to everything from about the midline of the tank upward, the fire having attacked the bike from the ceiling downward. I had to replace many plastic parts and controls, brake lines, the seat and numerous miscellaneous items to get it back to working order. I then brought the fairing pieces to a painter who did a spectacular job. The total for all parts and painting was under $4000 and Hagerty paid $7500 after the deduction for the corpse. My time is worthless, of course. One curious discovery. That fairing is virtually fireproof. It didn't warp, crack or burn in the slightest. The paint just blistered, peeled and burned, leaving pristine plastic. The fuel tank didn't blow either but probably would have if the fire truck hadn't arrived just in time. [/QUOTE]
