Oh dear, hope you recover quickly.

You said to wear leathers/jeans but jeans won't do anything, I know this from experience! Were you trying to overtake on a corner or something? just trying to figure out how you didn't see the car until the last minute!

[JimboJ]

Best thing to do is A: not to admit to anything even though it is your fault but don't blame him! Just let the insurance company's sort it out.

The police may want to do you for driving(riding) without due care and attention, as long as you're insured there shouldn't be much else they want you for.

Try and get your bike back as soon as possible, they'll have it in a warehouse charging you around £20 a day and already charged you £150 to pick it up!

I made a similar mistake to you (don't know how) I just pulled out too far onto the other side of the road, luckily the car was a reasonable distance away so I didn't hit it.

Get well soon!

aparently the bikes at home, some guy took it back for me, i also meant to say knee pads with the jeans (at the very least if you aint gona wear leathers)

was on a very slight corner, no vegitation, knew the road well i was foolish and i've learnt the hard way, i'll talk 2 moro about it all, thanks for your advice so far

i can't understand how i missed the car either! it was a very wide corner, open with nowhere for cars to hide, and the three inches i moved across was enough to hit the guy
gutted

Unlucky man... I've been in this situation before so I know how hard it can feel. Especially when you see how wrecked your bike is, that must be one of the hardest bits.

What can I say... everyone's going to crash sooner or later, it happens. Been there done that bought the scars.

Hope you get better soon and are back riding! Don't let it put you off!

All the best

Sorry to hear that mate. Atleast your alive and will recover, and as Ant said the bike is replacable.

Get better soon.

Sup, had an accident on the 1st May - Overtaking just before a junc. Car didn't indicate or look, turned, and obviously me and NSR got proper F***ed over, anyway, because at a junc. police did me for driving without due care and attention therefore got £75 fine and 7 points - god damn.

Anyway, I realised that as long as I was OK everything with insurance and police etc. will sort itself out in time.

Really sorry to hear you had accident!

Sorry mate I don't agree with that at all. So your saying that no matter what we ride and how we ride it, everyone will crash their bikes at least once? I'm not saying that I have never overtook a car or took a risk but to just say it's only a matter of time until I crash is a bit unfair.

[McJamweasel]

He's right tho. You will be very, very lucky to never crash. It may be your fault, or it may be the fault of the myopic volvo driver that just pulled out. You may the one that catches the patch of black ice, or the nail that bursts your tyre.

So really, its not unfair - just honest!

Naive so naive!

I told ym friend he would crash, came up with the same answer as you, what happens: he decks it on the motorway. As mcjam said it's just fair!

LOL, He ran out of petrol, pulled over onto the hard shoulder and the motorway turned(although you can imagine a motorway it wasn't a 90 degree angle!) and he tried to brake (on gravel he says!) and the bike slid into the barrier!

Mate I can sympathise 110% with how you're feeling at the moment cos I did a similar thing on Thursday evening...

I was turning right at a roundabout and was just about to pull onto a dual carriageway (travelling at about 35-40) when I hit a bump in the road that had a manhole cover on it.

I remember pulling off the roundabout, the next thing I know I'm sprawled in the middle of the road with the bike careering towards me after bouncing off the central reservation. I hurt my left arm/shoulder and wrecked my jackets and helmet but aside from that I'm OK.

The bike's in a bad way, needs new forks/fairing/headlight/mirrors/indicators etc.. but that (although it doesn't feel like it) is immaterial. Bikes can be repaired - you can't.

I felt sick when I'd done it, I was more gutted because I wasn't pushing it - I was cruising!

So, although the Police want a word and you've trashed your bike the main thing is that you're here to tell the tale - I'm lucky I didn't go underneath a car travelling in the nearside lane.

So chin up mate - you have to look on the bright side as it could have been far worse....

thanks for your replies, you guys are a real nice bunch..i'm a proud member

amazingly the bike is very much undamaged!

both bottom left n right fairings are scratched or snapped, the left wingmirror is bent (no smashed glass) and me rear set on the left was torn off along with the break pedal, everything else (tank n exhaust) are untouched!

i hit an old merc the fairing tore off his front wheel and my knee made a huge dent on his right wing and pretty much tore that off! and left a large dent and some bloody streakes along the drivers door
i was doing 50 when i hit n he was doing about 50, i think the bike just scratched along the side of his car, i remember a bang and then skidding along the floor on my knee, then the bike overtook me and went into the field.

the problem is>> i had overtaken three other cars, the road was clear and i knew there was no risk and the road was pretty straight, i kept it at arond 7-8K when i overtook so i had the power there to make a quick pass so the noise was loud, the dude who was behind me was calling me every name under the sun to the cops, my mums b/f who cam down just after it happened heard some people saying i was an idiot.
honest to god i weret being stupid, i wern't racing or in a rush, i just thought i'd slip past a few cars so the road was more open. im so worried when the police come on wed cos there gona assume i'm just another idiot bicker going out for a mad sess on the evening cos i had nothing better to do, thats wrong, i was on my way back from work and made one simple foolish mistake in which only i was thankfully injured.

i cana afford to loose me licence, i live 8 miles from town, no regular bus, can't get to college or work, itwould really screw me over.

i'll post picces of everything next week.... i just hope others will learn from my foolish mistake, please just wear protective clothing, and tripple check before pulling any stunts

thanks for all the fantastic support, diamod geezers

dont worry about it mate, i slammed into the back of a brand new renault clio not looking where i was going and the police did nothing.

Just explain it like it is, like you have in your last post, you wont loose your licence, max your going to get is £60 and 3 points or just 3 points.

Get well soon bud

Sorry to hear about your crash, its never good to hear about bike accidents. Thankfully, you're here to tell the story and learn from your mistake.

Just play it cool with the cops and hopefully you'll be ok.
