Re: Just had my 1st off !!!!!
That was my first thought but then I wondered if the guy was just scared his wife would **** up any litigation and end up 50/50ing it leaving them with massive premiums.

Re: Just had my 1st off !!!!!
Glad you're Ok Ron, ride safe out there fella!
Must admit, no insurance was my first thoughts too... However, £250 should certainly take the sting out of it a little... Shopping in Scotspeed tomorrow by any chance? |

Re: Just had my 1st off !!!!!
Thanks for the support.
Yes I am off to Scotspeed for a new rear brake lever, they dont bend very well, do they! Realised fairing bracket is also bent so will price that up as well. Just think he realised his missus was in the wrong. we did the deal at the scene for £200 (i recond about £400 to fix myself, so he offered 1/2) and he turned up with £250!!!!! Nice people, farmers so probably well minted. She defo was not signalling, as my nose was about 3" from the rear corner of her motor as my back wheel was 3 foot in the air. I know i was 100% liable but she was 100% her fault for not giving other road users a bloody clue what she was up to! I also did not want to do insurance as those robbing b*****ds would hit me something rotten next year and then after.

Re: Just had my 1st off !!!!!
Holy crap! Can't believe they paid you! I wouldn't have! As for the no insurance thing, doubt it if they are farmers and in D+G...most of them have an "every vehicle in the world" policy!
