Re: For fooks sake
Aww crap!!
Glad you’re ok albeit shaken. Hopefully the bike is easily repaired.
Totally sounds like this isn’t the end of the story, that car load sound dodgy as hell.

^^Yes, Blade.. the bike is replaceable, you are not.
Glad you're physically okay (you haven't mentioned any injuries?) and god knows how you kept upright!

Re: For fooks sake
I'm not injured thankfully. I don't remember the car hitting me, just the bike. I can't feel any damage.

Re: For fooks sake
Really sorry to hear this Kwacky but glad you are ok and it does sound positive regards you being able to claim against the insurance.
Take it easy, mate and let me know if there is anything any of us can do to help.

Re: For fooks sake
That's a crap start to the day, i hope the insurance track the guy down.
Glad that you stayed on and no injuries, the bike will mend.

Re: For fooks sake
I wonder if the car will turn out to be a ringer, running on stolen plates from a matching vehicle.
Do the pictures you took include the faces of the driver & the passengers?
Oh, I just remembered....

Re: For fooks sake
I've grabbed some work and ridden to a local police station to report it. I didn't want to ride home in the rush hour.

You can see the front mark and the drag line where he's collected me, as well as the broken wing mirror

Re: For fooks sake
No, nothing. No cameras around that way.
I'll see what the police say, they're calling on Friday.

Friday....nothing like a speedy response

Re: For fooks sake
Dam. I was thinking that at least you had followed them up the slip road, but on re-reading your post they followed you.Kwacky wrote:The camera is right on the front so it caught nothing.
Presumably the impact effect will be recorded in the footage though, and it will also help prove that you were impacted whilst riding correctly.??

Re: For fooks sake
I’ve just read this thread through and my first thought was exactly what StM has posted above, I’ve got a nasty feeling you’ll find the lad that was driving was nothing to do with the real owner of that car, he was going to go through the motions until you got your phone camera out, any details you may have got would have turned out to be erroneous.StMarks wrote:I wonder if the car will turn out to be a ringer, running on stolen plates from a matching vehicle.
Do the pictures you took include the faces of the driver & the passengers?
However, the main thing is you are (mostly) ok, fingers crossed you don’t develop any further issues, I’d imagine Mrs Kwacky is worried about you enough without anything else.

Sorry, badly worded by me...Kwacky wrote:I was on the road, they joined the road via the slip road.
Fwiw I understood that you were on the main road, I was referring to when you pulled over to exchange details mate.
Anyway, the insurance aspect is small potatoes.: It could have been so much worse, and wasn't. You're ok & that's what really matters.

Re: For fooks sake
Crap mate, glad your in one piece. Top skills to keep the bike up right.
Hopefully it won't take too long to sort out, and hopefully the bloke was just being a dick. Another thought is that it could all be legal and above board, and he was in a bit of shock and being "informed" by his mates on what to say. Or more likely moroccan woodbines for breakfast..
On the bright side, at least it was the kwack and not the street.
