M6 jct12 Nice VW beetle decided to jump on his brakes for no apparent reason. I grabbed a handful, licked front wheel and off. Nice slide for me and bike.
I'm ok, bashed my hand on intial impact. Might get xray later bikes not so happy. Front forks are done. Will look later, currently on AA breakdown truck on the way home VW driver did stop then disappeared as soon as he saw I was ok don't suppose there's any point trying the insurance? Noone got a reg |

Not good Matt, at least you're in one piece and not in an Ambulance. Hope the bikes not as bad as you think. GWS

No point in trying insurance from what I can see...
Live and learn, leave a decent gap. |

Sorry to hear this. Hope the bikes better than expected and your hand is nothing except a bit of bruising.

It may well not be true at all - but that's almost certainly going to be their position and you would have to overwhelmingly demonstrate otherwise.

Do I have to notify them of an incident even there won't be a claim?
