Thought I'd post a fantastic picture of my pristine condition bandit.
Please refrain from being jealous.
Jokes aside, smeg breath in a car pulled out on me, I literally had about a seconds worth of braking which wasn't enough. I do a gymnasts routine over the car, while hoping I don't meet a lamp post and now I'm currently off work since mid-december till whenever I'm well enough to go back. Could have been worse, could have been the middle of summer!

Car spun 180 and he was complaining of neck and back pain so they cut his roof off to get him out, so his Jetta is a write off too.
Annoying bit is, I'm being sent on the RIDE course as an alternative over getting done for driving without due care. Due to a bit of naughtiness I was witnessed doing about 5-10 minute before the crash. A copper told me to calm it down, I calm it down and end up having a crash. If I was riding the way I was, I'd have passed the road way before the guy would have pulled out. If I'm honest, it shouldn't even be mentioned in the accident report as it happened way before it so is totally irrelevant, but the police think differently. Police also believe I was speeding though, due a witness stood about 30ft from the crash saying I came screaming past way exceeding 50mph...even though the impact speed was 30mph and I hesitated with my braking as I tried going around the front, realised I wouldn't make it, so swerved towards the rear, realised I was going to hit it when about 10ft away then just slammed on but was too late. I've clearly shown due care and attention as I've attempted evasive manoevures in the first place!
Drivers not getting done for driving without due care even though he's pulled out from a sideroad onto a main road. Police say it would be hard to prosecute due to him denying any wrongdoing. He even said in his statement that I "appeared out of nowhere" even though the roads quite a long straight. So it seems like SMIDSY is a valid excuse now...
I do remember saying at the road side "Well my bollocks are gonna be bruised, but I always thought flying over a car would be worse" even though I'd just crawled off the road in pain. I've always gotta throw in a bit of humour, no matter what. ____________________ Bandit 600 - deaded |

There's like a support strut for the frame in line with where the front wheel used to be and its fairly bent from when the wheels slammed into it on impact.
Rather not spend money getting it roadworthy again tbh, rather just get a daytona 675 or a bandit 12. Don't know which one I'd rather have tbh, different styles of riding ____________________ Bandit 600 - deaded |

No idea yet, only got it back from the garage the police kept it at about 2-3 days ago
Nemo, I'm gonna see how it pans out first. I'm not too bothered as long as it doesn't affect the claim. If it does I'll be chasing it all up to get the result I want ____________________ Bandit 600 - deaded |

Going to contact my solicitor in a minute, I explained it the other week and was told "don't worry about it" but I'm still worrying about it!
What are your plans for this tatty old bandit? ____________________ Bandit 600 - deaded |

Spoke to my solicitors, they said it wouldn't stand up as the "moment of madness" was seperate to the collision and they'd happily fight it. They're no win, no fee so I aint paying anything up front just for them to turn around and say "case isn't strong enough"
I is now happy

Reading that genuinely made my blood boil, ignoring the you having to go on a course thing, it is what it is, as you were being a dick earlier it ended up being bad luck.
The thing that is making me actually rage is the driver not being in trouble at all... Can honestly say I would not go round his house a few months later and slash his tyres and or key his car.
