Today I went to work and parked in my usual spot, locked the bike up and went away, about 5.30 some bloke who had parked opposite backed out and decdided it would be fun to use my bike as a brake.

He did atleast come in and say he'd knocked it over, by that point it was pissing petrol out all over the floor, so I went out, picked it up and gave it a quick assessment, brake lever bent, front end out of alignment, mirror bent, rear mudguard obliterated, numberplate cracked in 2 and the footpegs are bent.

His only response was 'Sorry Mate, I Didn't See Your Bike. Evil or Very Mad

Fucking arse clown, he went and got me some cash to replace all the broken stuff so I won't be going throught scamsurance

*rant over*

You're ranting because a driver who made a mistake did the decent thing and aid you out immediately out of his own pocket? What does it take to please you then?

And back in the real world where no one is perfect, it sounds like a pretty good outcome really, as the bloke could just have driven off leaving it to be found and paid for by BillingTZR.

as has been said, how much did he give you? as most of that stuff for a cbr400 isn't too expensive.

Well that's obvious, I'm sure they both wished that.

The mark of a man isn't on how many mistakes he makes - it's on how he faces up to his responsibilities in dealing with them.

/\ this was what I was getting at.

He gave me £30 to cover the repairs, which should sort it. I was on the CG not the CBR (thankfully) but thats not the point.

Where I park he would have had to have walked past my bike to get to his car, in our car park this meant that my bike was no more than 2 car lengths behind his car so he should have seen it. In any case he said he wasn't paying attention and keeping an eye on the car that was waiting to come in.

I think you've done him a terrible dis-service. You should pay him out for damaging his bumper Very Happy

I understand about him should of seeing it in the first place...

But come on... He owned up didn't he.

Not only did he say he wanted to pay, he did. Straight away.

No hassle.

he damaged it with my bike, he can get to fck Wink

He gave me the money after I asked him how he wanted to handle the situation, was more me asking him to sort it rather than him saying 'how much is this going to cost'

either way, just slightly annoyed that my bikes been damaged because it means I now have to fix it, whereas if he had been paying attention it wouldn't have happened. Either way just venting my displeasure

I am grateful for him owning up to it, just not so grateful that I now have to source parts and spend time replacing them

Source parts??

It's a cg mate your neighbour probablys has parts in their airing closest they are everywhere lol.

I had a lad reverse into mine and smash the front mudgaurd. I walked out of the shop and he was said "I've reversed into your bike mate I was going to drive off but I changed my mind" I didn't know wether to laugh or cry lol.

number plate is £7

pegs I'll probably hammer back for now until a cheap set turns up

the rear mudguard is going to be a pain, i need a red one that also forms part of the rear light bracket as is new clocks, they're fairly pricey still, might give Mr. Dunkable a pm and see if he still has his lol mine really are trashed now Sad

So he comes to tell you he damaged your bike and pays for damages and you bitch and complain?

Now if he'd driven off, then maybe you'd have a reason to compain, but as it stands you've not done too badly tbh.

That said, I'd have asked for more than £30 so I could buy a few more CGs Wink

Edit, looks like just about everyones had the same initial reaction...

I wish I had people like him in my accident!

The cvnt who was sat in the passenger seat drunk who smashed his head on the windscreen because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt when the driver slammed the anchors on is suing ME for damages! Laughing.

I know your bike got damaged, but lucky he actually came and told you.
