Oh feck!!!
 

went out on trike today, was pulling into my work disabled parking space , then either throttle stuck? not to sure it all happend so fast, as that happened it garred me , clutch fully let out, im half off bike as its going straight towards some sort of box by building and a car, trike somehow manages to go through,crushing side of work colleges car.and twisting the weel hub.
was well surprised after the shock wore off and mechanic looked at it that it should be reparable . the independent rear suspension struts still in one peice and holding the bike up. mainly bits that are part of a car that needs fixing will prob need some welding to streanthen joints and a couple of new brackets, weel hubs off but repairable as they are fibreglass.
2012 turning out to be a **** year
so as of now im also outa the euro ride as all my spare cash going to fix bike, booo boo
im all in one peice but bruise forming on leg and im gonna have some majour wiplash tomorrow. im just annoyed:(

nah usually really careful havent got a clue exactly what happened it all went so fast, all i do know is it unseated me and i was unable to grab brake and clutch, it was too late by the time i managed to grab them damage done, but as you say im ok except for a few aches and pains so thats the main thing, just really annoyed!!!!!!

Such a shame, you must be gutted girl! Maybe your trike's way of telling you not to do errands for that hubby of yours :-P

What's happening with the car that got hit, have you got to fork out for that too privately or is it an insurance game?

Re: Oh feck!!!

yep peed right off, car is an insurance job but as i work with her she was really nice about it another car that was a little effected, ie it had some rubber transfer of my tyre and a little(and i mean a little) red paint transfer was being a bit fussy, i could get rid of that myself, my mate offered to buff it out free of charge and she was like umm arrrgh insurance!!, i have taken pics as there was no damage for if she tries to be funny, i willing to have other go through insurance, but not that when a little t cut and polish will sort it.
trike not insured for my damage so it will be my pocket which takes that hit and my insurance premium next year boo
defo special one do not ever want to go through that again, will be thourghly checked over once all bodywork issues etc sorted.
