The reason I believe the forks are bent or out of alighnment is.....the accident was a head on collision. Long story short, I was sat in a queue of traffic in Grantham, around 10 foot from the VW golf infront and basically the golf decided it needed to reverse backwards. He just shoved it into reverse and wellied it into my bike. Not like most people who reverse slowly and check their mirrors. Was travelling pretty quick by the time he hit me and I'd imagine the fork took most of the force.

Bloody cheeky git pulled his wondow down and leant out to say "sorry I didn't see you" then drove off, leaving me under my bike.

Anyway, I was using a QWERTY keyboard on my phone. I've contacted the local council and the local newspaper so I'm hoping I find the bugger. I'm gonna have a friend take my forks out for me on Wed and I'm ordering the new parts too, so bike should be up and running again in the next few weeks.

Really hope you catch up with the twonk who did that to you. Local paper might jog memories etc or he might read it himself and get a conscience.

That's what I'm hoping. Did a stake out on Friday too, determined to find him. I think I might be a little obsessed but nobody messes with my kwak!

If it happened to my bike i'd be handing out leaflets at the scene and be pricing up a tv advert

What a barstool, glad you're okay.

Has any paint been left on your bike/the road?

There may be shop front cameras nearby that could have caught him near the time before or after (sorry don't know the area).

There is slight paint of the broken bit of plastic from his car. It's darks, probably dark blue or black. Just got an email back from the council, they have footage of the roundabout just after my accident spot but no numberplates are visible and they want to charge £60 for me to see it! I'm not sure if it's worth a look anyway just incase it jogs some memories or something.

No shops nearby before the bridge anyway.

This is where it happened:

Surely the police should be checking this, it was a hit and run, or have they got speeders to catch?.

Try the police, they can do a partial vrm PNC check for vehicles but to narrow it down they will use the postcode area else you could end up with thousands of results.

A non stop should be reported anyway ... hugs hun.... hope u find the bar stool x

I'll ring the police again today, need to mention my hospital visit anyway. I understand that my accident isn't a priority so I don't blame them for not looking into it as much as I'd like.

Thanks for the well wishes though, let's hope they catch the cheeky git.
