Sorry to hear it, at least they honoured the 'let's not involve insurance' thing.

Glad your OK, bikes fix.
Well done on the payout, you must have the gift of the gab there! Quote:
Sorry to be a bit harsh, but if you talk like an accident is 100% another parties fault, when it's not, then you can't learn from the accident and prevent it from happening again. To learn from it, first you need to admit to yourself what actually happened and realise what you did wrong. (Obviously don't admit to anything at the roadside, but you need to admit it to yourself) Last edited by -Ralph-; 23-04-11 at 08:34 AM. |

![]() The amount of blown bulbs on the road is ridiculous though, another consequence of replacing police cars with speed cameras. Also the number of folk driving along with an indicator on when it shouldn't be. My driving instructor asked me all those years ago what a flashing indicator meant. When I told him, he replied "No! It means that the bulb is working!" |

I totally agree it was my Fault.
![]() Why he offered to pay out I have no idea, i was a bit shell shocked after the off, and was pretty much resigned to just havin to pay out myself. Brake lever ordered _ £42 !!!! the robbin gits, have drilled and put a bolt in so I can use the bike next week. Fairing mounts bent back, exhaust sanded down and looks ok. Have 'coloured' fairing in with permanent marker! just to hide white scratches till I can replace or paint. If any body want to book me - Proffesional Stoppy King - my fee is £250 for a 30 second show. ![]()

Also, if one bulb goes on indys, the flasher relay flashes faster to let you know.

Glad to hear you came away ok, I've seen a friend come off far worse and end up with his hips pinned together.
A little scare now and again helps keep us on our toes ![]() |
