Got pushed off

I got hit up the back a few years back on my old 125 some silly old cogger in a pug 205 that wasnt looking where he was going, it was a really bad smash. i was lucky that a biker stopped because he saw it happen to me and he was threatenin to kill the bloke, he was going mad.

I love bikers!

Highly unlikely, unless you have the full registration number a witness or even the driver admitting it the police will drop it. They won't investigate further, look and compare damage to both bike and van, and will start with the usual underfunded and no man power.

I would have called the police there and then, even if the traffic was held up for a while - the guy is obviously a danger and shouldnt be on the road - Parkinsons or not - he drove straight into you and then tried to deny it was his fault hope they get him off the road.

PS - maybe his Parkinsons is the problem - perhaps he was playing the sympathy card?

If they got rid of all the idiot drivers you would only have a load of bikers lol

too right!

As you state you exchanged details, I assume that means a numberplate, and an address.

Perhaps we should all enact vigilante justice on a .Org rideout?

What a complete ******. Report it. As others have said, you really should of called the police there & then, as he was in effect making an attempt at your life.

TBH though, you controlled yourself well. I'd of probably had a go at the witness for trying to drag me away. But at least someone would of called the police.

although it wasn't his mirrors i wanted to smash!

ah, well you're going wrong here matey. you need some of these like myself...

absolutely brilliant for the almost a year that i've had them. waterproof, warm, great protection and you can still punch wing mirrors only downside to them is that they're a little bulky, but soon get used to it.

went to police station today, they didn't want to know and i had to argue for 10 minutes before they would give me a form. i'm going to take it as far as i can, looks like it'll be a struggle though

how much trouble could i get into if his details appeared online?

i agree with sv_rory, bikers rock. the guy who pulled me off the scrotum faced muppet was a biker, as was the RAC guy. they both calmed me down a lot.

i'm not sure if i can really get away with claiming any injuries, partly because of the very low speed but mostly because of my behaviour immediately afterwoods! my textiles seem to have got scuffed and burnt on the downpipe however

there's no damage to the van or the back of bike just the left side but at least i've got a witness

rather annoyingly the bike is now running rough, 1 and a half cylinders only

two off's in 6 weeks of riding, i'm ashamed to be me!

Id find where the stupid scroat lives and just smash 7 buckets of shat out of him, that would make you feel better, i think if i was in your postion i would end up serving time but thats probably because im so fed up with drivers hitting me
