Well, the inevitable has happened and i've been knocked off my bike, thanks to a t**t of a Taxi driver and a fat moped rider.
Fortunately, not my fault but i've now got one knackered SV ![]() I've got a fair bit of fairing damage down the right side (the optional lower fairing is cracked and the upper and rear fairings scratched), rear brake pedal has snapped and the mount has bent, exhaust is scratched, mirror scratched, engine cover scratched, indicators broken and handlebars scuffed. The motoslider has also been ruined on the one side and will need replacing as well. I'd like to think that its not enough to write the bike off and i've spoken to my insurance and they said that they're more than likely going to need me to get quotes for the repairs. However, the bike is unrideable and its easier said than done. Can anyone recommend good garages that will be able to repair the broken fairings and paint as necessary, as well as sorting out the mechanicals. As the bike is unrideable, is there anyone that will be able to come out and look at it or collect as necessary. |

I missed this one, hope you're alright ?
As to the bike, was it not recovered from the accident to a dealer? if not have you got recovery cover that will do that for you ? as it's being done though insurance then it'll probably need to be a suzuki authorized one, Suzuki only list the scooter centre in Chelsea, but I'm not sure they do bikes, so I'd guess the nearest would be Metropolis at Vauxhall. Not much help I know, and I guess you've got something sorted by now, but if not a temp repair the the brake is easy so it can be ridden there, need help on that score give me a shout. Cheers Mark.
