SV 1 - 0 Car (nobody down, just a shunt!)

[simesb]

At a roundabout today, waiting on a car passing so I could enter and boff! up the ar$e I am rammed. :D

SV - rear tyre covered in silver bumber paint.
Car - bumper paint missing.

My magic bike just materialised in front of her apparently!

Anyhoo, it was such low speed I didn't feel the need to throw myself off onto the floor. Exchanged numbers and off I went to pick up an R6 throttle tube to release the SV's hidden 300 horses :D

300 hundred hidden horse... mmm dis is whaat?

[richie95]

[21QUEST]

So long as nothing's bent and the wheel is still in alignment, YOU WIN.

Lets hope she dont try claiming off of you... Not that she really has a chance mind... But still probably be hassle you don't need.

heh

[alexs]

So are you going to claim for new tyres or not? That paint won't come off on it's own you know.

Got a witness so shouldn't be a problem there.

[fatneck]

Get a statement off the witness sooner rather than later.

glad the bikes alright mate.

Same thing happened to me at a junction weekend before last.

if she's rammed you up the a$$ then she's going to be totally in the wrong no worries

[Tim in Belgium]

I'd get a whole new bike, and try and get to keep the "salvage" ;)

Glad to hear there was no damage, although imagine the colour clash, silver and copper, eeuuurrgghhhhhhh.

[Dave20046]

that does sound like a bit of shunt.

[the_lone_wolf]

if it were me i'd be getting a full engineer's report to satisfy myself that the frame and swingarm are still straight...

edit: at the car driver's expense obviously...
