:(
hope he's well. You'll have ot let us know what's going on if you get any more info :)

[Paws]

he was sat at a red light, its rolled him foward about 4 foot, didnt fall off.
*just had that as a text*

[Stu]

Well I hope that's good news that he'll get his bike fixed :D The car's probably broken his rear shock. :shock:

[Samnooshka]

Glad he's ok, hope the bikes not too badly damaged either. Hope the other bloke has insurance! and make sure he gets the bike checked over properly!

[DoubleD]

The car's probably broken his rear shock. :shock:

It's a bugger when that happens ;)


Glad he is ok and hope it all gets sorted quick with no problems.

Doesn't sound too bad luckily, hope he isn't hurt. Make him wait a day before acting to see if his neck is ok, injuries develope over a few days and the adrenaline covers it the first day.

[plowsie]

No way, just seen this, he was fixing it this morning. Hope everythings ok!

[ASM-Forever]

Bad to hear...but sounds like it could of been worse.

I hope bike/rider are easily mended :)

[dizzyblonde]

ooooooo nooo. I hope he gave him what for. So long as they're both ok. I'd have so lost my temper

[the_runt69]

Bloke didnt hang around to find out if I was OK or not, just as I was walking back fecked off sharpish, got his number and reported to the police but expect he wasnt insured. Have just checked over the bike in the car park at work with one of our fitters who does bike mechanics as well and cant find any damage at all to the bike, Car had a broken front valance seems all he did was push me forward about 4 feet and lucky there wasnt anything coming across the lights at the time, No injury to me and no adrenalin rush.
Rear shock is knacked anyway and have a replacement when I can get to TSM's to borrow his paddock stand.

what a bummer mate, glad youre ok at least and i hope the cops find him and nail him for leaving the scene of an accident...and anything else that gave him a reason to scarper.

Glad to hear you're OK Howard, never nice that sort of thing, let me know if you need a hand, although I obviously won't be running anywhere ;)

(didn't happen to loosen thoughs tensioner bolts by any chance :p ).

Cheers Mark.

No such luck, have got them loose but cant get an allen key in the bottom one to get it off, Just rode the bike home and it doesnt handle any worse than normal, though I think the hugger is rubbing the back tyre on one side so will have to check if the back wheel is still straight

[fat_brstd]

if its any use to you ive got a swing arm kicking about if you have managed to bend it but i hope for yoursake you havnt. pm me if you need any more info.

[the_runt69]

Thanks for all the kind words and offers its nice to see people care about each other on here

[Stu]

Good to hear you're OK. That's terrible he drove off. It was just me being naive that it sounded such a clear case of the driver being at fault & you would claim off his ins. and maybe the bike would fix better than it was.
Good job getting his number, really hope something comes of it.

[Warthog]

Yeah well done for getting hte number, lets hope it wasn't a stolen car and the guy gets severe punishment.

[21QUEST]

Glad you are okay. Hopefully, the registration number is not false and the driver can be brought to book.

[falc]

Ah just read this, glad your ok mate and the bike.

Good luck sorting the guy out :smt068

[Bear]

Glad you're OK. Hope they get the bugger and you can claim for at least SOMETHING!
