Extremely ****ed off but absolutly fine, but poor Phantom is taking a bit of a beating recently.
Just coming to a halt at a pedestrian crossing when my bike seems to jump forward like I had let go of the clutch but worse. I then suddenly realise I hadn't actually let go of the clutch at all and in fact a big van behind me hadn't stopped until hitting me.
I was forced onto the crossing but luckily enough the pedestrian stopped in the middle of the road and didn't get hit. He didn't stop and give details or anything, nor did the group of lads who pointed and laughed and then continued on their merry way.
I didn't come off but I had to push the bike to the side of the road as I didn't dare start the engine with the numberplate pushed to the other side of the back wheel, the guy who hit me had to help push the bike.
The numberplate came off in his hand when he tried to pull it back in position at which point I flatly told him to leave my bike alone.
'sorry luv, didn't see you stopping there', to which my response was 'did you also miss the pedestrian on the pedestrian crossing too?'
I was quite vocal about the damage to my bike and that he had hit me and he kept apologising. I've got all his details, and because I'm a suspicious person, I got a pic of his numberplate whilst he was getting the details.
Until you look closely, the damage doesn't look too bad. The back panels no longer fit together properly, its like the bit with the brake lights got pressed in further than the side panels at the back, if that makes sense. Also, when trying to put the pillion seat back on, it takes a bit of pushing now, rather than just clicking down.
Really really ****ed off
