Tracer knocked over - where to go for repair?

Danfay yamaha at Newlands Cross,

Garda will only be interested if someone was injured. Take photos of the vehicle positions and of the other party's insurance details etc. Then bring your bike to any bike shop who will do a crash estimate for you - I went to the Kawasaki Centre workshop before even though the accident happened in Tallaght - car reversed into the bike on it's sidestand and did over 3k worth of damage in my case.

It's normal procedure for the other Party's Insurer to insist on being provided with a "Pulse No." ( Report No.) when you make a claim. So, I'd head back to the Cop Shop, make an official report and get the number. It's obvious that there wasn't a Guard who witnessed this, but the Insurers will use any excuse to either delay paying out, or refuse the claim altogether. If there's no independent witness then the Insurers will usually head to the Guards for their take on it.

If you're referring to scrapes on Plastic Panels these will nearly always be replaced with new ones, assuming you want your Bike back to the condition it was in prior to this. This won't be particularly cheap.

And don't be too worried about getting "messy" with your neighbour. She's already taking the piss by pretending it's nothing. If it was you that scratched her Car with your Bike do you really think that she would be as quiet as you have been ???

You haven't done anything wrong, she has. And now she has to pay for it…..either out of her own pocket, or through her Insurer.

As already mentioned Danfay would be your best bet. Don't be surprised if her Insurers keep fobbing you off with random Bullsh!t . This is normal. You may have to get a Solicitor involved just to get paid. It's not a big deal, it's just the way it works sometimes.

Best of luck with this.

I dont work / affiliated to Danfay.

they are a main YAMAHA dealer and YAMAHA distributor. Go look at their new setup at Newlands Cross, its a walk-in bike shop - with a showroom - which is very impressive.

they carry out sales, repairs, warranty and servicing , so there is NO reason why they wouldnt do an estimate for someone for yamaha parts / bike thats been damaged.

@ One Who Waits

just call Danfay and ask.

Like all Main Dealers (Cars and Bikes) I can imagine they would be only too happy to take people's money and farm out the work.

That's the way it always has been, and continues today.

You're assuming that Danfay will admit that they get someone else to do Crash repair work.

Most Dealers will use phrases like "our repairers", etc.

But that's not really the issue here.

BTW, how do you know that I'm not Derek Keany ???

good on ya, it just shows the contempt and ignorance from ppl these days in general. good luck with it.

Good stuff. Any contact from the neighbour or their insurance company since?

"oouffhh" Sucks air in through teeth. "thats a bit pricey lad, its only a bike cant be worth that much", "let me get a qoute for that" * proceeds to get qoutes for scrap tracer parts." see your qoute is a ScAaAaMmM lad"

Any further update.
