5th November 2014.

Come off after a car pulled out on me.
It drove off afterwards, must have been going a good 85-90MPH... it looked like a Delorean with a load of chavvy funny lights on.

Guy called Emmett helped me up, ive taken his details as a witness.

Stay safe

No1.

Was hoping to never have to post in here, oh well. Crap spill anyway.

My fault, take your pick from; poor obs, too close to car in front, and too much front brake.

Car in front slammed on his brakes, I grabbed the front brake in auto panic mode, bike slides on wet surface and gives it to my foot good. No other cars/bikes/kittens hurt.

Indicator and bulb smashed, bike scratched, but apart from that seems ok. Managed to ride it in to work.

Too simple a spill for a paint diagram.

30 mins into the journey so tyres were nice and toasty.

16/01/2014 - A dark day.

Long story short I was breaking approaching a roundabout and didn't see two random bits of paint in the middle of my lane. I hit the ground pretty hard and the bike ended up on my leg but I'm fine and the bike is fine. There's one loose indicator and a scratched bar end and my helmet has some scratches but it's all good.

Here's my thread with more details for anyone that's interested.

I was around 2 miles into my journey.

Well, after a nice long 'crash, bang, ohthatsoundsexpensive, wallop' free stint . . I join this venerated list as of 6.40 this morning.

I was heading to work,(via a stop off to catch a bike pic challenge en route), and had only gone about 2/3 miles. I approach a small-ish local roundabout, quick check, nothing coming from the right and clear right of way, so I proceed round to continue straight over.

Cue Mr black BMW driver (car colour, not skin . . tho where I live the odds would have been good), pulling straight across my path from the left with about half a car lengths notice. Kersplat !

Impact with o/s front wing and me and the bike on the deck. It's been a while since I heard that sound, but you never forget it. lol

Driver was about 55 / 60 and seemed a genuinely decent fella.
This was lucky for me as the same can't be said for the 20 or so people that must have witnessed it . . not one of the ignorant fuckers stopped, lent a hand or offered a phone number as a witness. Typical London attitude.

Insurance claim in progress, I receive my courtesy bike tomorrow . . a SV650 (oh joy).

Impact can't have been much over 20 mph. So for a nice change, just bruises etc for me but I'm pretty sure the Tcat is a write off.

After getting home and having a well earned brew, I dig the other bike out of the garage and head off to work. Get to the top of the road, turn left . . and some loony bint pulls straight out from the r/h/s/ curb across 2 lanes and nearly puts me in the nearside curb !

She clearly thought my reaction was over the top. I didn't trust myself to get close enough to explain why at the time.


Tl;dr - Car pulled out, bike a mess. London is full of fkn idiots with cereal box driving licenses.

Ouch. I hope that goes smoothly, but I wouldn't mention that you've got another bike, as you're only supposed to claim necessary costs from the at-fault driver.

Not that he's at-fault, what with you coming out of nowhere on one wheel at 100mph screaming "ALL CAGERS MUST DIEEEE". That's how it happened, right?

I may have mentioned I got a lift into work today as my 2nd bike is laid up atm with engine trouble when I called to arrange the courtesy bike . . .

Actually it was an 80mph rolling stoppie and I was yelling BANZAAII . . (hence he can't be at fault as my headlight was pointed at the road) . . but you were close enough.

Of course I checked my left. . . and a glance in my mirrors etc.

I was just trying to keep the story brief as it seemed to be turning into a ramble.

Hope it wasn't someone on here... sitting in the van stuck in traffic earlier on The Highway, saw a motorbike coming up behind and was gonna let him filter in front of me (before a traffic island). He went behind me and proceeded to filter up the middle of the two lanes, a bit too quickly I thought (seeing as its quite a narrow road).

30 seconds later there's a car mirror & body work on the floor, and the bikers stopped, still on his bike checking over his hand. Didn't see what happened, the car was pulling over to a nearby turning so I assume they changed lanes quickly or something.

Cool story bro
