Attempted hit and run by drunk driver.

[NSR Mick]

Had just completed a damp and miserable lap of the TT course and headed into Doulglas to Tommy Leonards Honda dealership and as I'm trying to park my bike up outside the shop some pissed up twat in a Renault Scenic decides to just smash me out of the way and clear off up the street.

The lad I was with gave chase on foot as we knew it was a dead end, once the drunk decided to come back down the road he tried to run over some other people who had witnessed it and stood in the road to stop him getting away.

Once he'd stopped we pulled the keys out and hid them which pissed him of a little, it was highly amusing watching a pissed up late 50's 8 stone 5'2" scrawny piece of shit threatening 6 foot bikers unless they handed his keys over.

I'm ok and the bikes not too bad considering, although it is likely to be a write off as I'd hate to think how much genuine exhausts and fairings will cost for the NSR.

The drunk was in court yesterday and if he pleads not guilty to drink driving, dangerous driving and some public order offences I'll have to go back to the Isle of Man for the court case.

That poor poor beautiful bike.


I guess you'll be looking at at least claiming the cost of repair for the parts, if not the entire value of the bike?

Your poor bike Hope he gets what's coming to him!

The Police on the Island don't mess around - the penalties are quite severe (but effective).

Was he a local or an incomer? Not that it'll make much difference as I think the Isle of Man and the UK now share records so that if he's banned over there he'll also be banned in the UK.

Hope you get everything sorted out, but insurance claims always take a while to work through the process....

Rang insurance last Thursday, they where supposed to be ringing me back. Going to chase them tommorow.

Depending on what happens with the insurance I have 3 ideas.

1. fix it. (only really needs 1 rearset and front brake leaver)

2. Track it.

3. Number 1 plus buy an RC30 or OW01.

hit a slight stumbling block.

I've lost the card the policeman gave me with the crime ref on it, so to get any further details I need to speak to him.

this has cocked things up royal at the moment as I cant seem to get hold of him and my insurers have drawn a blank on the reg no I gave them (which I know is 100% correct as I've a photo of the car) so they say theres nothing they will do.
So it's up to me to get in touch with the police to get further details.

What do we pay these people for.

well they've given up as the reg no doesnt come back on an RAC or DVLA check or even the MIB check (insurance database)

Possibly an Isle of Man registration issue.

I'm not comp so it's in the hands of no win no fee type outfits who from past experience tend to be lazy.

As you mention T.C. the police will release this information but without the ref no. they wont tell me anything unless I can speak to the officer in charge of the case which is proving a little difficult. this weekend I found a piece of paper the policeman who took my statement gave me so I may try to get hold of him too.
