Yeps, it was confirmed in the offer I received this morning from
the dealer.

Seriously though, folks, I have been told that the normal
procedure in the UK, or with this dealer, is that you can
contact your insurance co. and ask to have the old bike back.
They then deduct the value of the knackered bike (usually
£6-800, says dealer) from your big fat cheque for the new one.
but it depends on individual ins. cos., apparently.

Why, are you definitely interested - or is anyone else in the UK
interested in cannibalizing my poor, defenceless black ST for
salvageable organs? If so, drop me a line sharpish.

PS, the estimate wasn't itemized, though I might be able to get
hold of one later.
