had my first spill a bit of advise needed

[mivster]

i was stopped at a small junction waitin to pull out and a car turned in to my right came onto my side of the road clipping me on the leg and knocking me off balance and i dropped my bike
nothing major but they didnt even slow down or stop to see if i was ok
ive got a decent bruise and a sore shoulder and a cracked mirror
i had to push my bike home as it smelt flooded i was a bit shaken more shock of them not stopping me thinks
but still the bike wont start any ideas
i didnt get the reg of the car all i know it was a red audi driven by a idiot i guess, so cant do any insurance stuff

First thing to do is report it to the police. There may be CCTV covering the area.

Sorry, it sucks, but I'd try and forget about it.

They've only got your word that an incident even occurred, and you can't confidently identify the car, let alone the driver. Unless by some miracle Plod bothers with it, and finds the car, and knocks on the door, and speaks to the driver and gets a full voluntary admission on the spot, then all you're doing is creating a record that you've been in an accident and suffered an unrecovered loss.

Sorry to hear that mate, what a douche bag. As said, maybe, just maybe there are some CCTV pics, other than that just grin and bear it.

Awful that he just drove off, deserves a freakin slap and then some.

As mentioned, report to the Police asap - as much info as you can remember, so the sooner the better.

It's exactly for this type of incident that I ride with a helmet cam. It's already helped me out on 2 or 3 occasions (thankfully nothing serious)

spoke to a few of my biker family and friends they said live and learn
and believe it or not the police said the same
and they advised me not to bother with insurance as they will shaft me next year lol

personally. just get on with it and if you see him again follow him tell him to pull over and have a chat with him. or alternatively follow him get of your bike and jump on his bonnet and drive off. if he comes back to you ask him how it feels for someone to damage his expensive property
