Finaly a bit of luck

[thumper21]

Finaly got a bit of luck the other day, after the nugget that reversed into at my work and alot of phoning round insurance, police and bike hire place (through my insurance legal cover) I got a brand new just out the box with 0miles on the clock Bandit:D . Might not be a SV but I am mobile again, nearly drove me nuts getting the bus to work. Also after reading stuartyboy post about his bike am off to remove my fender extender and a few other parts that I have added on, I have got a bad feeling that my SV is gonna be right off!

Never saw the original thread so just finding out about this now, really sorry to hear :(

How did van man manage to damage your forks so badly? Was that where the van hit? He must've been shifting...

Nightmare, but at least you're back on 2 wheels. Even if it is an IL4...

Sorry it took me while to reply, the van hit the rear of the bike and am guessing it did hit with quite a bit of force as there is a huge scrape on the ground from my sidestand. My sv got picked up last friday (1st june) so she is off to get assessed for damage, what I posted was the damage I picked up on!

(Also excuse the spelling but I am on night shift and brain not working too well)
