I'm a statistic... [..UPDATE..]

[TheArchitect]

I had my first off in almost 3 years of riding.

Got knocked off by a mong turning into me from opposite lane. Said mong then proceeded to drive off while I was still on the ground, slightly winded and mildly shocked.

Caught the whole thing on my trusty helmet cam, including his plate. Popo are on his case, but chances are he'll claim he wasn't driving.

No mention-worthy damage to me. Bike took the hit to right fairing and fell on left side. Left fairing, cowl, crash bung, gear peg, indicator, bar end all need replacing. As the bike is only worth a couple grand at best I reckon it'll be written off.

Insurance is picking up my bike on Monday and am getting an ER6N as courtesy bike.

Did the car stop then or drive off?

[monkeybiker]

I take it you called the police? Chances are if he drove off he has no insurance.

Defo vid time.

However, release to insurance when he drops in the "no no no its his fault for doing 10000000mph upside down"

[Ben90]

Glad nobody got injured although hopefully the driver will be baton-raped (no lube) for fleeing the scene of an accident.

Did your camera not catch the drivers face? It looks like it should have.

[chris-red]

Win for helmet camera, post the video so we all can tell you what you did wrong

Private vid time, can't harm your case, good for lulz and karma.

Good that you're OK, although don't write anything off as temporary stiffness or bruising, get yourself to the sawbones.

Ah, sucks. Don't forget, plastic and metal can be replaced, your life can't.

Didn't you buy your bike under a year ago brand new?

If he denies being behind the wheel then the registered keeper on the v5 can be held accountable. I would expect the police will arrest him.

[TheArchitect]

Vid will most certainly follow as soon as I can crop it down to a more manageable size. It's currently almost 3Gb of footage.

Am booked in to see GP tomorrow morning. I am feeling a bit of stiffness on left shoulder where I hit the ground but nothing to stop my day to day.

I've quite grown fond of the ninja 250, but alas it must go and it's probably a good time too. looking to pick up a MT-09 at the bike show if I can get 0% or near that.

I would love to hear that guys excuse for hitting you and driving off, honesty has gone the way of the dodo. Glad you are ok though and I hope police prosecute him for leaving the scene of an accident!

Isn't it if they speak to him within 24 hours he can get out of the leaving the scene charge? Ask the Popo to hold fire.

If he drove away then that's good news for you, makes it an open and shut case.

Post the video, it won't do any harm.
