Default 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...


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

Glad your OK.

Carol Nash give you a replacement bike? Might have to check my insurance...... that sounds like a good reason to go with them. I went for the cheapest i could find!

Glad you are OK - Forgive me if i sound dumb but what is the difference between a high and a low side? Ive got a idea in my head but....

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.

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