Knocked off and very angry! :( - SV650.org

29-04-11, 08:00 AM

Got knocked off my bike last night and he drove off. He had time to tell me he just didn't see me though. Angry is not the word.

I have a vague knowledge of his numberplate, does anyone know if there are any search engines where I can cross reference the start of the plate to the model of car? VW Golf btw.

Bike is repairable but it's gonna cost quite a bit, pretty sure the forks are bent considering the way it happened. Trying to ride a bent bike with a police escort is interesting.

Ahh man thats not good, how are you. Any cctv in the area that might of caught anything?

Glad you`re not badly hurt.. best of luck with tracing the driver

I'm fine, bruised hip. A&E said to just keep it moving. CCTV, not where I was, the police are checking the ANPR in the area but I'm not holding up much hope. Just so angry about it. Even worse are the people that drove past me while I was struggling to pick my bike up. I just wanna find him.

People just dont want to get involved anymore, mind you if a biker had been in any of the cars you would have got help. Maybe one of the org police can help with the reg?

Ouch sorry to here that.

The police should be able to identify the cars in that colour off a partial plate.
Which part of the plate did you get?

dizzyblonde · 29-04-11, 08:30 AM

Theres some real Royal Wankeeers about at the moment on the road, nothing a gat gun on the front of the bike wouldn't solve!

I can't offer any advice on tracing the vehicle TBH, as I don't think theres much hope

Sorry

The problem was that it was dark so not 100% sure of the colour. I know it was a dark vw golf and believe the start of the number plate is kn05 ..... but then I had kf05 written down on my phone.

My best advice is go back to the scene of the accident and around the same time, or an hour beforehand and stay till at least an hour afterwards. Just sit there with drink and a notebook, no doubt you will see him again unless you're really unlucky.
