That's brilliant news, well done to all involved in getting it back
 
Great News, on the subject of insurance, the Vintage Car Club have Vero for cars and bikes over 30 years old. I think I have my Commando fully comp for about $150 a year.
 
Very good news!
I hope they go to jail for the eternity and one day more
I can not imagine how I should react if someone steel my bike
Be carefull in the future, you will not be so lucky the next time

Hi Mike,
Great news ..

i know this is a bit late and hindsight is a great thing ,but if your a member of the nznoc.
classic cover insurance do a deal for club members.
less than a $100 a year .(got mine for the first time ever,last year ) for agreed price of $17000.
worth a look .
and no i am not an insurance salesman.

congrats on getting the baby back !
 
Satellite trackers are available on flea bay for about £25 now, need a simcard and a power supply. they will even let you listen to the perps conversation.
 
Thanks guys, yes I will do both.
i looked at the locators for one of my drones as back up in case of loss, but when it went into AKL harbour while filming a vessel at speed with the city as a back drop, I figured I knew where it was!!!!
Regards Mike
 
Great that you got your bike back, and great to see that people who are not really a part of it, get involved and help out! A question from the other side of the planet: can you have your vehicle registred and in traffic without an insurance? That seems to be the case in the US, maybe other countries as well? Back here where I live you can't drive a vehicle legally without an insurance.

I was just reading somewhere that a Ducati 750 or 900 SS silver/blue 70/s model was stolen today or yesterday in Tauranga.

In the US there are several types of insurance that apply.
Liability insurance is legally required to cover property damage or medical injury caused by the insured in case of an accident.
Theft insurance would be covered under Comprehensive insurance and also covers repairs to the insured vehicle.
Some theft insurance can cover the replacement value of the vehicle but for a classic Norton an agreed-on value policy can be done.

It sounds like the original poster may not have theft insurance, but who wants to get a cash payment, I want my Commando!

In New Zealand there's no need for third party insurance to cover injuries because we already have a form of compulsory 'insurance' that covers injuries caused by a car accident. This scheme is managed by the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC), and is partially funded by a levy paid as part of your motor vehicle registration fee and also by some of the tax you pay each time you fill your car with petrol. The scheme provides 'no-fault cover', meaning that any person injured as a result of an accident is covered.

However, holding insurance to cover the costs of causing damage to your own or another person's property is optional.

I believe Australia has similar third party insurance rules.
Third party insurance is compulsory in the UK but there's no govenment scheme so it's the responsibility of the individual to arrange insurance cover.
 
Consequently there are miscreants who drive without insurance in the UK. The penalties for those who are caught can be pretty dire, although some might say not dire enough – I suppose if other, related charges are brought then the person might face jail. https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-insurance/dr ... -insurance But there is (or was about 27 years ago) a UK organisation that provides compensation for no-fault losses, I think it's called the Motor Insurers Association. I had a Triumph Herald severely damaged by an uninsured driver running into the back, and received compensation that way – it probably helped that I took down the offender's registration number as they raced off, and that I then went straight to the police. They certainly took action against that driver, but I don't recall the details. It's something people in the UK ought to be made aware of, anyhow.
 
Another Theft

Well, since it's already happened, I'll give my two cents;
As noted by others, it is compulsory to have liability at a bare minimum, but that doesn't stop the scoff-laws. I subscribe to an "Uninsured Motorist" option that helps cover my expenses in the event of one of these jerks plowing into me. It's not uncommon during our winter months to see this happen when a lot of people are driving their "snow beaters", many of which don't have insurance.

I'm sorry to hear your bike was slightly violated during the whole discourse, but it's good to hear she's back home where she belongs!

Ok, thanks for info, so it works a bit differently than how it works here, but the end result is the same.
And Nathan; I promise I will never again de-rail a post.... :D

That post is originally from April 2016.
 
More derailment here:

In NH, the only state in the union which allows such a thing, it's completely legal albeit dumb, to drive with no insurance whatsoever. If, however, you are involved in an accident determined to be your fault and you don't make good, you may not register a vehicle again until you do make good. I have no idea why it's that way.

Most therefore, carry uninsured motorist insurance. I suspect it's a common practice in every state to protect oneself from scofflaws.

A few months ago my pickup was rear-ended while I was stopped waiting to turn left. The first words from the woman who hit me were "I have no insurance". Well, no one was hurt and my policy replaced my bumper. My insurance company in turn subrogated against her. Her vehicle was probably totaled. She stated to me that the insurance company wanted $4000 to insure her not including collision and comprehensive so she must have had a terrible driving record.

I have an agreed value policy that covers theft but would rather keep my bike. It's through Haggerty.

Thieves just suck.

I'm happy that you got your bike back with limited damage.
