Re: Ooops, ben high sided this morning

Now only because I know you are alright and your fully insured with protected no claims you understand...

:laughat: FG1. I have done one of those low speed high sides myself. I too did a somersault and I had a round of applause by the local builders too.

Tony, I would assume insurance wise its going to be a cut and dry case. Your temporary bike should be with you swiftly and then it's a case of waiting for repairs/payout.

However, should it not go according to plan, do not forget I have two motorcycles only one of which I can use at any one time. I'll even let you use Bucket :wink:

Glad your OK.

Re: Ooops, ben high sided this morning

oooh, Tony, sounds more like ouchy mcgee!

Glad you seem to be OK (did the bang knock some sense into you?). hope things get sorted quickly.

Re: Ooops, ben high sided this morning

Re: Ooops, ben high sided this morning

Dude that sucks. But glad that your okay, really am most important thing. Take care dude.

As for the yellow shirt, it sounds like we have winner!

On my way in to work this morning to do a mate a favour I was high sided as I came off a roundabout. Funnily enough I was actually thinking how well I went round the roundabout and exited it just before it happened. Obviously not that well after all.
Damage, pretty much anything on the right hand side.
Headlight
f indicator
top fairing
lower fairing
mirror
clip on
f brake lever
r&g bung (no longer there and couldnt find it anywhere)
r brake lever
right peg
right seat panel
r indicator
Carbon exhaust and hanger.
I was ok apart from a banged head and swollen knee. The witnesses said it looked good as I did a somersault before hitting the deck then rolling down the road with the bike following me. They actually said that it was like watching Moto GP...........
I don't think I was going too fast but from where the bike hit the deck to where it settled was 133 of my size 7 boots, yes I was bored waiting for recovery truck.
So, not having too many dealings with accidents what can I expect from the lovely people at Carol Nash.......

Glad you are ok. The bike can be fixed, even after such a stylish dismount.

A call, followed a form and some giggles from the other side.

Have you ever wondered where they go off to? Some kind of magical teleportation device back to R&G perhaps!? My JHS crash protector were great, shame they don't sell them anymore.

You are correct. However, your name will still be on it AND we need a photo of yourself wearing the shirt. We got one of Josh & Spidey on friday, we need yours.

Re: Ooops, ben high sided this morning

So, assuming the payout is enough to buy a proper bike, what you going to get?
