Got SMIDSY'd.
Bent the forks.
Guy fucking saw me, and pulled out anyway. Got a witness who saw it and said the same thing.
What a twat, in his giant lexus bullshit mobile, car was too big to swerve round and pulled out too close for me to be able to brake in time. Slammed on the brakes in a controlled way and hit him anyway, his car wasn't even dented, big ass scratch though, somehow once again the forks have taken all the flak, I think braking actually made it take more impact because it wouldnt have been transferred through it as easily like bouncing off and obviously the forks compress when you brake...
WANKER!
Fuming, seriously, I can't afford this shit right now, spoke to insurance they said it'll all come off his insurance and apparently I have legal cover so any costs will be reembursed if I have to get taxis or whatever
When it rains it pours.
That's 2 RTCs this year, i'm honestly thinking about becoming a cager and saying fuck it, I really enjoy biking as well, my commute is enjoyable, whereas in a car i'd be crawling and it'd be rage.
-_-
Fuck sake Alpha.
AWEFISRHVIDHB!
Well i'm okay at the minute but it happened not very long ago, now I have a headache coming on and my wrist is not a happy bunny ____________________ Fzr-600 1999

Sucks man
Glad you're pretty much fine
Dont become a cager! It sucks the life out of people.
Fingers crossed insurance goes through all fine and you'll be back on 2 wheels in no time. ____________________ The mistresses: 2000 Honda CBR600f, 2000 Honda VTR1000 |

I know right?
Yet when i'm being a dick filtering wildly and speeding I have no issues, every crash has been me being reserved and restrained!
But meh, wouldnt be saying that if I did crash while being a dick, not sure how much of it is trying my luck
But yeah, I was a bit wound up hence the post style...

FFFUUUUUU....
Sucks to hear that. Sorry I can't relate though, I tend to crash out of view, on my own
On the flip side however... Dat moment when you realise it won't cost you anything to get money off said cunt. ____________________ 09' Versys 650 | 07' FJR1300A |

Bad luck dude! I'd be dreading the really sore neck in the morning *wink wink*
And I agree with the it's safer to speed, I find they see me more and they hear the bike screaming around etc making erratic illegal movements gets you seen lol
P.S. when i say me, i mean someone i know  ____________________ Bandit 600 - deaded |

I'm worried they will say something about the rear tyre, like well theres not much tread so that's why you couldn't brake in time, or some shit, to get out of paying up |
You should be seriously concerned. Google 'bald tyres and insurance claims' and you will find that insurance companies are denying claims if a vehicle was not roadworthy when involved in an accident.
If I were you I'd be looking for a scrubbed rear tyre and getting it on the bike sharpish, before your insurance assessor comes calling. |
O rly, i'll have a look, the treads gone in the middle but the edges are okay, but the assessors will know their shit
That's the thing I would have thought they would want to go through with the claim as it's on the other party's insurance so everyone on my side is a winner, but that's wishful thinking I guess.
I will look into it, thank you
I see a lot about cars but not bikes, but I guess it's the same
I'm worried...
I'm just waiting for the tyre, should be here any day now
It'll cost <£200 to fix I think if I did it, not assessed the damage properly, is dark
Regardless of my tyres, the accident wouldn't have happened if he didn't pull out in front of me ____________________ Fzr-600 1999 |

Glad you're healthy enough to be pissed off
The decision to stop biking or not is up to you, but I would say you've had your share of bad luck so stick with it.
Good luck with the claim  ____________________ If you can keep your head when all about you

I can't afford to not be really, and I love it, who am I kidding
I'd hate to crawl in traffic every day, I'd seriously lose the plot I think!
I would just fix it myself and have done if I had the money, I can't afford not to claim D:

Nah it doesn't Buy a hot hatch, drive it like you stole it, win!
Alpha, good to hear you're alright. You must only be a very short way away from my grandads house!
ABS wouldn't have saved you. It'll stop you locking the front and binning the bike, but it can't stop you plowing into something. Makes it easier to just grab the lever hard and thus stop quickly I guess. Given the choice, I'd definitely have ABS. |
Heh, actually when my mate drove it was a right laugh, because you can have passengers a radio and climate control, lovely
But silly insurance, fuck that! ____________________ Fzr-600 1999 |
