So THATS what knee sliders are for then

[tom-k6]

Driving down the Bristol Road in Northfield, riding along......BAM.....stupid woman in a white mini, registration BN10 OHS, just moves across from her lane and side swipes me, manage to hold the bike just away from the kerb and lay it down. she jumps out "oh so sorry, didnt see you there" i have an ART baffle-less stubby, how the hell she couldnt hear me god knows.

im shouting and Fing and jeffin at her for being such a silly Cnut. i checked my bike all over and not a mark, barely a mark on the crash bobbin. i look at her car and there is a 6inch dent/deep scratch on her passenger door. look at knee slider and see some paint wedged in there. she didnt want to go through insurance as she already has 9 points and cant afford her insurance to go up more.

stupid woman, but at least im alrite and she got a nice fat dent/scratch for her troubles :D

stupid woman, GGGGRRRRRRR

[Reeder]

Yay for crashes!

[WeegieBlue]

Make sure you claim of her for a new knee sliders and a new bobbin though!! If she won't pay up, just call your insurer with her reg and you can put it through as a claim on her policy. Mwuh ha ha!!

[tom-k6]

i have her number and im gonna call her later and tell her how much i want off her for the sliders and a new bobbin, i also have her adress too, so if she dont pay up, i'll send my big fat gyspy wedding to her house haha

[SoulKiss]

Better than that - you should have gotten her off the road by reporting her and getting her the other 3 points.

Could have quite as easily been a "Tom-K6 RIP" thread...

[Icanopit]

As long as you are OK Tom, just have a ride by the address to make sure it's there in case.
Take care, JOHN

Proof that 'a loud can is safer' ********, is ******** :smt040 More likely she was uninsured too!

[loonytoon]

Im sure the cage monkeys are getting more an more stupid its getting to the point where you nearly get taken out 5 or 6 times just on a gentle ride.
glad your ok tom, screw her if she has 9 points already she is a crap driver an needs to get off the roads.

[Paul the 6th]

Did you take photos of the damage/way the bike was laid down in the road etc...? Just in case she comes back & explains that you drove into the side of her & she wants it repairing to brand new standard...

Most people I've known on 6 or 9 points are amongst the safest & slowest of them all, sounds like she needs taking off the road so she can be retested before coming back on again

Try the askmid database with the reg

[Electro]

Make sure you add the knob head tax which equates to about 5 x the cost of what you need seeing as though she is willing to pay due to her points issue :) 3 x 3 points for undue care, probably!!

This is very true!! I have noticed since moving back up to the Midlands that Car Drivers are no where near as aware of you as down in London. Nightmare!

[GixxerMatt]

These coffin drivers aren't just stupid, some of them are down right satanic. Back when I was a new rider on my first 125, I was filtering through traffic at road works. Then this tosser actually did a 3 point manoeuvre to block my path. I got round him and was just in front of him entering a mini roundabout to turn right when he sped round the inside of me to beat me to the exit. He didn't hit me but came so close that I actually had to drop my brand new DT so I didn't end up under his wheel! Where's a copper when you need one eh.

I picked my bike and it looked okay. By this point, complete red mist had descended. I mean I was ready to go all beelzebub on his chaved up ass!

So, I didn't race after but I did catch up with him a few miles down the road. The smell of retribution was in the air.
I pulled up by his passenger door and and club fisted the **** out of his wing mirror untill it was off and rode away like some dark avenger!:batman:
