Bye bye CBR *SMIDSY*

[Snorty]

Long story short, picking my friend up from work...

Car comes across my lane, we collide, friend goes flying over the top of me lands on car, I end up on the floor.

One bent front rim, bent front forks, smashed belly pan, huge dint in tank, from what I could see. Well - there goes my bike for the summer!

Just a nice huge bit of bad luck to top all the other shit off. woohoo!

I should just paint a target on my next bike I think.

At least you should get 100% for that and hopefully some personal injury money to go and buy a new bike.

Never really had an issue with the insurance when it comes to replacing cars and bikes.

[MarJay]

Are you and your friend both uninjured? You don't mention in your post?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[J.M.]

There is however a silver lining to your story; we don't have summer in England so you're not missing out on too much.

Hopefully your claim goes through quickly so that you're back on the road as soon as possible.

Sorry to hear about your bike mate. Depending on witnesses etc it shouldn't be too long before you're on two wheels again.
Also, pursue any injuries you have as the "compo" may pay for xmas!
Same with your gear, try and find some receipts!

Fucking lol.

Wrong side of the road?! How... I don't even...

Even though the accident was not your fault, you'll still have to declare it on your insurance renewal for car and bike and they'll load you with an extra premium just for the pleasure.

Same happened to me and my car insurance went up £100. FFS

Dread to think what my next bikes insurance quote will be.

Apparently the accident is registered on the motor insurance database (M.I.D) and the insurance will check your details against it. Could result in fraud charges if you don't disclose any accidents.

It really pisses me off that they do this, and will continue to do so for the next 5 years. Not Happy.

Mate flew over the top of me and landed on the car bonnet, my balls pressed against the tank with such pressure there is now a huge dint.

Neither of us have broken anything just the usual aches and pains associated with coming off.

Sorting insurance out now, the guy didn't exactly admit blame or say much after the accident, despite cutting across my lane from the opposing side of the road to turn off to his right.

Oh well we shall see what happens now.
