Stupidly i left my bike parked out the front of my house, not realising the snow/ice still hasnt fallen off te roof yet.

House insurance won't cover it, they won't cover motor vehicles.
Only way out is if they have fully comp on the bike and then it'll properly cost about the excess to get fixed.

Hard luck.
But if you need a new speedo you'll have a new bike;)

The snow fell off the house, so they should cover the cost of damage

Same issue here. Thank for the heads up.

I got a price today to replace the mirror and get a new black aftermarket screen. About 80 for the screen and 60 for the mirror.

I didnt bother looking getting a speedo yet since the glass on it just has a crack down it, it might still work fine though.

I had thought about moving the bike a few days ago but it was pretty much impossible, there was a few inches of ice surrounding it.

Lesson learned for next year anyways :rolleyes:

Your house insurance should cover it - I know where a porch fell off and landed on the bonnet of a car, and the house insurance covered it.

Mind you, your excess might be more than the price of the repair......
