Its been going downhill for a while now.

Get well soon

ouch, get well soon dude. if worst comes to worst you can claim off the uninsured drivers fund but dont hold your breath for the payout.

That's a big poo pie, and at least you're relatively ok.

Ta for all the good wishes, so far my bike is being collected by the insurance tomorrow so I should have my insurers valuation/decision by Tuesday. However I do have a 600/650 hire bike turning up tomorrow (it's a surprise what it will be) which is being charged to the other party, and even if they don't pay up as long as everything I have told my insurance is truthful I won't be charged, not that I can actually ride a bike yet, hopefully it's something comfy and upright! I've got the receipts for my gloves (1 week old) and helmet (5 months old), but the boots are three years old and the trousers are two years old so I'll see what I get when that comes round.

Thanks for the advice about the Red Cross and crutches, I might see if I can give them my current one in exchange for a longer one with a donation in their direction.

As far as claiming for time off work, I'm not too worried as I'm off sick on full pay (that is a good deal!) so it's just some bonus christmas holiday! But I'll take what I can get as I'm sure I won't get what I want for all my expenses so will take any victories I can. If I claim for everything I should get money for something.

Equipment is my biggest worry as the bike had quite a few additions, although they are all declared I doubt I would get their value back, plus some of the bits like Bibio's special swingarm brackets and relay are harder to replace! But that's to come as if I'm lucky I'll get the bike back.

Thanks again for all your well wishes and advice, it does make me feel better.

Tough luck mate, sounds like one of the those situations where there was nothing you could do to avoid it.

I'm sure you'll be OK with the insurance side of things. Interestingly under the Road Traffic Act if the owner is in the car and it's being used for his purpose (ie: his mate is giving him a lift somewhere or he's letting the guy test drive it with a view to a sale) then he is also "using" the vehicle rather than permitting it's use without insurance so he's got no way out by claiming he thought the other driver had insurance.

Bit ironic that he'll be done for no insurance and his company will have to pay out!
