I'm sure you'll mend quickly with a bit of tlc from Mrs Sharris74 (as long as she doesn't blame you for trashing her bike )

How the feck did the bike manage to trash the power-steering?

Just had the s insurance company on the phone asking for my details as they want to sort out a courtesy car for him. Sounds like they're trying to blame me. Well feck em. I'm usually quite resonable but this has realy pi**ed me off. I'm going to claim for anything I can.

Bloke soundd supprised when i said i was holding his client to fault arrrggghh so angry.

Does this mean i can ask for a courtesy bike (even though i can' rid it)?

From what I've read in the past, you take more of a beating on the rugby field!!
You'll be needing a new dark visor too!! (Done it's job there!!)

Seriously, hope you mend soon, glad you escaped 'relatively' unscathed..

Assuming that you've reported it to your (wife's) insurance company then don't talk to 'em at all. Just give 'em your insurance company details and your claim number.

I wouldn't worry about the courtesy car as he may be entitled to one under his policy anyway. The probably just want a claim number or some such for their records.

One thought - do you have legal cover? If so then tell the company straight away yourself and don't rely upon your insurance company to do it.

Given the witnesses, etc, it's doubtful that you'll be held liable. You are entitled to be put into the position that you were because or the act, default or negligence of the other party so yes, you should entitled to a courtesy bike. You might not be able to ride it but your wife will

Good luck

Do I need to report it to the wifes insurance as I was riding on mine the bit that sys "The policyholder may also rive a motorcycle not belonging to him/her and not hired etc"?


Just had a smoke and calmed down. Forgot the bit of paper with ny brokers phone number on it doh.

Might look and see if there where any cctv cameras as I want to see what happened.

Depends upon whether or not your are claiming on your insurance or as a named rider on hers. I'd assumed the latter. Sorry.

Better for her that you claim on your's so as not to affect her NCD if the insurance renewal comes up whilst the claim is being processed.

Don't forget to tell your insurance/legal cover people that you wish to claim for personal injury. Assuming no blame on your part, the third party's insurance will cover you for that

hey mate,

get well soon! Sounds like you should have a good chance of a pay out.

Ouch!

From what you've said about the accident it would appear that the driver was at fault, so hopefully your insurance company will be out to nail him for everything they can

I have to say that the pic of your helmet re-enforces every negative thought I have about open-faced lids

Thanks still a bit angry but calming down a bit now. 6 weeks in a cast in this heat isn't fun. And I'm doing my PPL at the moment so have to put that on ice for a while.

Not to mention 6 weeks of public transport

Claim on mine she's very proud of her 6 years NCD, just got mine back after the claim for smashing the Trumpet up last year was settled.

Anyone want to lend me their bike

Sounds like you've got a good case with the 2 CSO witnesses - have you seen PAWS' 'letter'? So hopefully no worry that you've only got TPO. Do you have legal cover? possibly through any policy you can think of - eg. house contents? your own bike? (also ebike was giving it free with a quote).

My letter can be found here:

But as stu369 says its irrelevant if you have tpo cover. Do you have legal cover with it? If not consider one of the no win, no fee solicitors like White Dalton. Especially if you have witnesses as good as the CSOs and its clearly not your fault.

But glad to hear youre relatively ok. But definitely speak to insurers and find out if you have legal cover, if not sort it asap.
