Bike Broken - SV650.org

TSM · 16-06-07, 12:20 AM

Well, got home today, parked up outside, about 30mins later someone rings my door bell saying if the bike outside is mine and that he had reversed into it. Ive gone out to find my bike on its right side, the left foot rest has been snapped off and so has the side stand frame lug, so thats a write off on the bike by insurance terms.

So ive sorted the bike so i can ride it, but i have a problem when i park up as i dont have a side stand, no problems as the right side is scuffed up im just going to park it up against the wall at work.

Im not a happy bunny.

Thats a ****ter, but on the bright side it least the bloke owned up and presumably gave you his insurance details/cash....could of been worse....little consolation i know.

Damn, that sucks

But as ASM said, at least you got a honest guy who came to find you once he'd done the evil deed.

surely you could get a sidestand welded on for not much money ?

if not, drill a new hole somewhere for the side stand ?

or fit a centrestand to it ?

Someone else broke it, if i weald it on and park next to you and it brakes, then i will be liable for the damage. Not taking that chance.

You looked soo pi$$ed off last night (understandably) but at least the bloke had the decency to tell you!

Most would have bu99ered off without worrying about the owners costs etc!

Besides it wouldn't be a TSM bike without at least a small dent/scratch/different colour panel etc!

Could that be an option? Does it have the lugs for one?

[EDIT]Just did a search and found this. http://www.triumphrat.net/modules.ph...79443&forum=26

That's awful but at least he came forward. I assume that insurance will be fine to repair/replace as he has admitted liability?
