Coming home from work on friday night on the gixer I bought last week to replace my 636 that was stolen.
Mondeo pulls out on me in a 40 zone I swerved to avoid him.
Imanged the smash all the fairings up on the left side, lost the winger mirror and both indercators.
My hand hit his rear left hand light and smashed the plastic which has shredded my little finger to peices.
I managed to stay upright, god knows how and pulled over to find my glove ripped to bits.
The bloke has admitted full liability. he rang me the next day to say we can sort this between us and he will happily replace my wing mirror lol

No doubt he's admitting liability to you thinking he's only got to bung you for a mirror.... he may have a different idea about liability when he knows it'll go through the insurance.

Had to ride into work the next day witha stitched up hand with the little finger cut off my glove to get it on, Im freelance and had a major important deadline to meet, If i didnt go work the next day i would have been f*cked and problly not worked again,
It hurt really bad
Im working away for 8 weeks on a film as of tommorow, I cant take time off and im in pain and feel like shit physically and pychologically.
Ive let the insurance know, so ill se what happens

Chase this through the insurance and police, remember a scratched panel entitles you to claim for a brand new panels/mirrors etc in colour if available or + ££££ for paintwork, personal injury will probably get you a bit as well.

I had a woman reverse into my bike outside shops, the driver pissed off but another woman sat a few cars away took down the reg and gave me a discription,

I got £820 cash in lue,the woman tried to deny it untill her insurance finally realised there where witness statements etc, the woman even lied to the police saying "yes i was driving that day and i did park at blah blah blah shop but i didn't hit anything" Thumbs Down
