Do I get a T-shirt or summat?

Quick update: Phoned the garage today, they reckon £2.2k worth of damage (incl. labour) to the bike.

Not sure if that will be enough to write it off or not, said they'll call back and let me know how much a 7 month old bike with 7.5k miles on would be worth. Then it's up to the 3rd party's insurance to make it a total loss or fix it I think.

Have a courtesy car until it's all sorted and need to give details of damaged gear to my solicitors now.

They reckon if he doesn't admit liability it could take months to go through court etc...no word from his insurers yet as to what they're going to do, but they have 21 days to respond.

Doesn't look like I'll be doing the Wirral Egg Run, which is a shame

It sounds like you are getting sorted but just in case you didn't know, you do not have to accept the amount they offer first off. If you feel it is not enough you can reject it, get some mags like Bike Trader, MCN that have your model advertised. You then can show them the average and at least that will help to prove your point.

I rejected the first 3 offers they made to me and YEAH received my Money for £6,500 today for my injuries and then they added loss of earnings and expences on top of that.

At last it is all over I never have to speak to another consultant about that accident again... 2 1/2 years later.

Good luck
