Why is he trying to.... oh crap!
 

So I was on my way to work for the first time this year. On my way to dropping the wife off at her workplace, in a moving queue of traffic, all of a sudden this guys on my right hand side trying to push me over to get in front, when he has nowhere to go he pulls in behind and suddenly Im doing the biggest wheelie of my life, managed to get the front back down and the bike wobbles and slides down the road, me and mrs sliding after it.

Fit of rage get up shouting at the guy (wanting to lamp him but didn't) he says to me "I didn't see your brake lights, they're not working" (They were)

Thought I was having too long a spell of nothing serious happening.

What an idiot. Much damage? :evil:

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Holy ****, I hope you got witnesses :evil:

Sorry, hope you're both ok! Much damage? :evil:

doh, hope you and bike are easily fixed

Thanks all. Could have been much worse, the thought running through my head as I was sliding was that Im gonna be run over by someone coming the other way (it was only quite a narrow road). I got away with bit of whiplash which has all but gone now and bruising on my leg. The mrs got concussion but not too severley (she could still remember her name!) and is very achey.

As the bike slid the damage was fairly limited, broken front plastic on left, broken indicators, dented tank, broken left footpeg/gear change and the exhaust on the right is dented, presumably from where he hit me.

Police attended, said they were gonna charge him with dangerous driving. Hopefully they did. And there were two witnesses, both truck delivery drivers who saw it all.

And happy to nail him to the wall I trust?

Hopefully. :wink:

At least the one that gave me a lift to the hospital was.

Very sorry to hear this, but glad that you are both basically okay!

Both get yourself checked out, get medical reports etc. Obviously... Call his insurance company, call a solicitor... sit back and wait for the cheques!

They'll probably want to write the bike off... which puts you in a similar situation as Dan - Sudoxe. :(

What a knobber... knocking TWO people of a motorbike! :evil:

They stopped?! Blimey.
