some stupid b*tch pulled into my lane earlier today without indicating and braked , i tried to swerve but hit the corner of her car . bike locked up and slid threw me off and i smashed head first into the car . bike is f*cked , badly bent bars , snapped mudguard , snapped headlight brackets wrecked plastics ... and guess what allthou she said it was her fault now she is saying it isnt , so will ring council tomorrow and ask for cctv evidence . cant believe it new bike and its going to be written off and the stupid b*tch it trying to blame me . i got legal assistance so they will provide me with a bike untill its sorted out , which will be a long time unless i can get access to the cctv footage , so pissed off , feel like going round and smashing f**k out of her car , she knew it was her fault kept oppolagising , but is soon as i drove off im gessing her husband told her to not take the blaim . hope i can get access to cctv to prove the Bic™ wrong . if i cant i will have to repair the bike myself and pay her out ....... luckily only cut my knee , altho i nearly passed out , had too sit down

sorry to hear this mate.

i hope you can get the cctv footage, but tbh, i dont think you will.

im a strong beliver that bike riders should have insurance, just like you need on a car, as it would protect both the rider and driver when something like this happens, as it wouldnt be as easy for her to fcuk you off as she has, and say its your fault.

whats this legal assistance you have? cos i was going to say, you could speak to your home insurance company legal department about it (if you have any) as this should cover you while riding a bike on the road, but im not sure if thats std, or if you have to ask for it, but you should have some form of public liability on it, so its well worth a call to your home insuance compnay to see where you stand with that, cos if your covered, and there willing to fight the case, they would have more chance of getting any cctv than you i would of though

Its a Bic™ I havent riden since being knocked of last September. Same thing accepted liability then denied liabilty but I won in the end even though the witness backed her but the witness statement was easy to proove as s**t. Her statement she claimed that I just dropped the bike Photos are wonderful. I could show damage to her car which funny enough had vanashed within days. Ive been paid for bike but not expenses yet
Only the police can request CCTV I wanted the cctv for mine. but the police where not interested. The insurance company can request police to collect CCTV though. If your using BLD. I found they where crap. Newlaw Solicitors have been excellant though. There is loads of no win no cost companies out there and they are well worth using. Least your alive though.

sorry didnt mention i was on a motorbike anyways ive spoke to my insurance and hes been talking to a woman in the cctv controll room . she looked and couldnt find anything . so i asked for them to look between 2.00 and 3.30 and gues what shows her cutting me up and slowing down , causing me to crash YES !! so im having a rental bike to use at her expense and a new helmet as once a helmet gets hit your not suppose to use it and my head twatted off her car ... so looks like i will be getting paid out for a new bike as mine will probarbly be written off . might buy it back tho yet , will go and change the sprockets , exhaust , and yellow hoses on it now . now im thinking i should have got an injury claim as my leg hurts but this is what makes insurance so expensive aint it so thaught id just get the bike sorted and leave it at that . glad i got ctv tho , if i didnt have it it would deffinately been blamed on me so im happy about that

[jayrs]

ah right, well yeah a motor bike is different.

glad to hear there is CCTV footage you can use that there willing to give out (if the insurance asks)
also, the mods your taking off, if any of them can be seen on the CCTV, it might be a good idea to leave it alone, cos if they pick up on it, you could be fcuked over.

as for injury, you got 3 years from a accident to claim, so you got plenty of time, but if your thinking of claiing for it, get ya arse to the docs and get it checked and some pain killers, even if its nothing major, its been noted on your medical records, and for a injury claim, they will need to see them, so dont delay, get down there and have it checked over asap.
and so what if claims is what makes insurance go up, your not faking a claim, you have been hurt as a result of a accident that wasn't your fault, and have footage to prove it, so get intouch with your insurance company after you have been to the docs and speak to them about persuing a personal injury claim

[jakerowles]

just been down to swap my exhast over and i reckon its going to be written off . needs 2 side panels £100, front mudguard £40, headlight and surround £70 , handlebars £60, throttle tube and switchgear £30 , forks £400 if it needs both , some prices are a guess but because no one breaks them you have to buy from pulse motorcycles so they can charge daft prices , pluss postage , labour , if they write it off ill buy it back and replace everything with better stuff , just wont be worth nothing if its been writen off my hire bike will be here tomorrow hopefuly , itl probarbly be a little cg125 at the womans insurance companys expense , and a new helmet , just got to wait for the cctv people to get back to my insurance as they dont want to fill out forms they want it as soon as possible ...

[jayrs]

sounds like there on the ball mate to get it sorted out quickly which is good.

be a shame if its written off, but its only a lump of metal at the end of the day mate, you didnt get hurt (badly) and thats whats important

Glad you're okay pal, while I've little sympathy for riders who undertake vehicles or try nipping up the nearside when you're turning left (seem to do that a lot round here), but equally pulling in and anchoring up in front of someone is straight out dumbfuck behaviour (like turning right at roundabouts without indicating). Had one or two people do exactly that to me in the past and it's been near things each time.

Oddly my old man (former driving instructor) thinks it's okay to change lanes without indicating when you're going to the nearside - he considers it an overtaking manoeuvre whereas I consider it merging. Maybe it's an old people thing. Of course, this is my old fella we're talking about, so I'm wrong...

I'd leave the bike alone tbh - insurance may raise questions regarding it if it's visibly different in the cctv footage.

i feel the same i stay in the inside lane so i dont get dick heads close behind me trying to make me go fast , its unbeliveable how many people dont know you can use the bus lane at certain times , usually if i can i just stay in the bus lane and travel at my own pace . dont get me started on roundabouts , nobody round here seems to know what to do when they get to one indicating is optional to some people your dad will allways be right when it comes to driving mines exactly the same

[jakerowles]

rental bikes here , and its a ......... ybr125 feels like its shrunk in the wash , has some power tho , especially at 11000 rpm well its a rental ... clutch slips like a Bic™ , can tell its had 9000 miles of abuse

haha thanks , ive been having phisio for a while now , had around 4 sessions and been told i need more for my back (not that i like being manhandled by a strong woman) , also had a rental bike out of it , and got cctv evidence so now shes accepted shes in the wrong , and offered me an amount without going through court and stuff to which i said , f**k off .
at first i didnt want to claim anything , but like people have said , if i was going abit faster or whatever she would of gone straight into the side of me and ran me over , so all my sympathy is gone for her now . all this because i couldnt get car insurance
