Riding down a side street doing 25ish mph on the bike and some cunt thinks its wise to pull out on me without looking. Bike is totally fucked and the insurance have took it to value / see if they can repair it. Dont know if the other driver has admited liability for it yet but the police took witness statements i think. Cant do much when your lying on the floor with a snapped ankle. Knees arse sliced up too. Just bit worried now as the bikes down as not being modified on the insurance and the exhaust isnt E marked. Oh well il let you know what they say :rtfm:
same thing happened to a mate afew weeks ago, FP rs125 (insured as restricted version), aftermarket exhausts, black double bubble etc. bikes been with insures 2 odd weeks now and nothings been said about the mods?
dont worry about the modding thing, 'erm mate thats the way i bought it off ebay, nothings been done to it at all' chinese bikes vary that much they cant say shit really id put a bet itll be wrote off, noone will touch them for repairs as spares arent officially available sounds like a shitter but keep focused on the good stuff... compensation and your bikes less than a year old so they shouldnt grumble on value and cough up the full amount sam
Well forks where bent and front wheel had bent sideways, bars where bent front light smashed in. I'd say Cat C :w00t: How long will it take roughly for them to finish inspecting the bike?.
Sorry to hear about that mate. If the driver take liability it will take about 2 weeks, thats how long mine took when i got my cheque through the post. But im sure it will not take longer than 1 month, this is a very common situation for insurare's and if the vitnesses said that it was the drivers fault you will get your chinnese cheque within 3 weeks. And its a write off 100%
ur on a bike, cars CANT see you.. mabey give way next time (no excuse for these accidents, car drivers are fuckjing idiots.. but YOU can avoid these types of crunches) drive asif your invisible
I've always been told its not the motorbike driver its the car driver that you have to watch while driving a bike because they never look out for bikes... Hope your ok
always expect the worst to happen when you ride, like, what if a deer ran out in front of me or what if this lorry infront decides to stop or turn unexpectedly etc, sorry bout the bike and your ankle mate hope it turns out ok for u in the end
Cheers, there was one witness and it was a 6 year old kid who was saying the same as the driver. (Probs give him a few quid to say it) Police being cunts with me because im young and they cant be arsed with the paperwork. Not a happy bunny at this point :msn1: Some car drivers windows shall be being done in shortly
oh my god. seriously, too many brit/gangsta films for some people, torch it son? you a fucking mong or something? no, dont torch his car, because thats fucking pathetic, and breaking his windows is just as bad, persue the case, a 6year olds story wont be used in court, in the eyes of the law until the age of 12 a child cant understand how fast a vehicle is going, so it wont stand. dont be so pathetic and go "torch it son"
