Really nice bike but she ain't pretty no more. Doesn't look like that much work. What happened?

[Ant]

went into a back of a car. cant remember what happened, although that is what ive been told.

A women turned infront of me without indication. SHE is also NOT insured.

Im only TPFT so I cant claim on mine. what I plan on doing is asking her to pay for the repairs and i will not take any further legal action.

Cat D at least mate. It looks as though the subframe or swingarm could be bent? Both can be replaced, so no major biggie there. Tank seems to be pretty good condition, and the bodywork doesn't look too bad. Just a dab of araldite should sort it.

What's bent - your swingarm or your rear subframe? (can't see on pic)

If the swingarm isn't bent - can it be used as is?

swingarm looks fine. the front and rear wheel are lined up ok, so must be just the subframe to replace.

[andrew]

Rear sub frame is bent by the looks of it. It will be a write off because of that i think? And if youre making her pay for the damage get her to sort you out a new swing arm aswell, cant possibly be seen riding about on that.

[Phoenix]

Seen worse, is the tank buggered too? If so may be a Cat C write-off

[R1stu]

The tank is fine, just left clipon slightly bent!

[Kris]

Get it all checked - but if that swingarm is straight then I'd use it as is. To be honest, you may have a better chance of getting money out of her if you only ask for necessary bits. If you hit her with a huge bill for new parts there's more chance she'll avoid paying. Also would be worth offering to fit new parts yourself.

Good luck matey

[andrew]

Exactly, the way hes talking hes gonna let her get away with quite a lot of the damage. Make her buy *all* the bits shes damaged, forget *fixing* the fairings, buy some new ones, it wernt your fault she knocked you off and she didnt have any insurance is it??

Take her to the fucking cleaners!

[Kris]

[andrew]

I thought the police had all the information they needed to find her. It might take a while but its better to get what you deserve at the end of it instead of compromising. Put it this way, if it was the other way around do you think she would let you get away with anything?

[Kris]

If he's got a witness then sweet Take her to the cleaners..

Bikes aren't exactly expensive, if it'd been a car she managed to total it'd be in the thousands. I'd be aiming for the lot, I pay enough in bloody insurance premiums I'd bloody well expect it.

[kevo]

[G]

If she's on a fairly low income etc, then she can probably get away with paying £5 a month through the courts, so may just go that route.

Probably stop after a few and you'll have to spend loads more sorting it out.

(not entirely sure how the system works in such cases though )

Sub frames always go on r6`s and r`1s when they crash and as they are welded on the write the bike off for it as to fix it your meant to get a new frame.
