Stupid driver totals my bike :(.
Well with less than 100miles on the clock my new sv650sport has been destroyed by a stupid pr*ck of a driver who couldnt be bothered to check his mirrors or blind spot. And so hes pulled directly out infront of me destroying all the left hand fairing pegs, indicator and bent the radiator grill.
My legs busted up but working its my brand new bike i'm concerned about. Of course because i was filtering the cops are calling it 50/50 so it looks like i'm ****ed  .I've never been so low in my life any advice?

Re: Stupid driver totals my bike :(.
Not sure the police are the final authority here. Any witnesses?

Dont let your insurance company bend over and accept the 50/50 verdict Do a search, its quite a common occurance to get punted off when filtering. Theres lot and lots of threads about it, one of which will have sample letter that your solicitor can use that should see it get resolved 100% in your favour... Oh and if you havent been get to A & E and get checked over, you might feel OK ish now, but you want to get checked out properly.
