Coming down old street way(London) in a bus lane (Mon-sat) and some dozy bint in a clio turned left into the petrol station across me. I was forced onto the pavement and hit a speed camera. I work round the corner so i rode the bike to work and awaiting my mum to come pick me up.

Damage to the bike, Random scrapes all over the bike, hit on the right went down on the left. The annoying thing is if I hadn't have writen "This is what happens when you look at tits and not the road" I would have been abe to claim a new side panel. Bent forks, it doesn't look like much but it rode like a pig.

Damage to me, Sore bollocks Embarassed

Pics to follow when I get home.

I never had too I'm only 21 and have first first claim (about a year ago) still ongoing which was toally not my fault. At least I should get some new cans the scorpians sound good but the build quality is abit pants. I get a new lid too. I'm hoping she will admit liability.



I'm looking for a sensible Honest POV, does she have a leg to stand on? I was in a bus lane, but legally, I wasn't speeding (Honestly!) There was a speed camera (which I hit). I have 2 witnesses. She turned across me. I really want this sorted quickly.

The way to make a claim move fast is to have some one represent you and do alot of your work with them via paperwork so the insurance company cant lie and keep it going on an on.

Get a hire-bike from insurance. That'll get it moving quickly, every day you have their hire-bike, they're paying.

Just be glad you were able to walk away from it. If you get any money it's a bonus.

Yeah I thought that when I had my last crash, but it doesn't. I had the hire bike for 3 months then they took it back saying it's costing to much this was a year ago, and it is still on going. That was 100% not my fault too but I had no witnesses.

Was her car damaged? If not her insurance will play the game of no blame on her part, but that is a normal tactic by them. I think you are going to need those witnesses. What did the Police say, did they take statements from all the witnesses as well as yourself and the driver?

Police didn't get there in time I was there a good 30mins, I did enough damage to her car to warrant a Claim. I was picking peices of her bumper out of my frame. Hopefully all will be cool, If I get a hire bike from the same company as last time it will be one of these,

SV1000
Bandit 1200
GSXR 750/1000
CBF1000
ST1300
FJR1300


I'm hoping for the CBF as I had the 600 as a hire bike when I did the speed four in and I was impressed by it. I wouldn't mind the SV either. The Bandit, FJR and ST will be too heavy for my London duties and the GSXR750/1000 would be the to sporty for London I think, though they would be a great deal of fun. I donh't think they would give me the GSXR's as I wasn't on a High CC sports bike.

Best of luck with the claim and unlucky with the 2nd smash in such a short time.

Just remove the writing asap, and proclaim "What writing do you mean women" when she tries to explain it to the insurance

It's already gone Wink

I'm gonna try for an SV1000 hire bike as I reckon it would be the best for the job I need it for. It is near enough a year to the week of my last smash.

Hire bike arrived, it is a black Bandit 1250 It has 10 miles on the clock Laughing It's not as bad as I was expecting seems solid enough through the bends and goes well and doesn't feel as heavy as it is. People don't lie about Suzukis rotting easily, I have already seen 2 spots of suface rust Shocked

I don't mean to laugh at your misfortune, but that bit did have me giggling.

Hope the claim gets sorted quickly.
