Help needed: I have been knocked off TPFT only!

Hi

Just an update for this. After some faffing around they have agreed to get the bike all fixed up. Going in next week for new fairings/exhaust and crash bungs. So the bike will be like new!!

So the question is do I put it up for sale now when its looking great??

Thanks for the advice people

This happened to me, the cyclist was very apologetic said it was their fault and offered to pay for everything then a few days later said that they can't afford to pay for the damage and said iot wasnt their fault. I had witnesses so I got in touch with my insurance legal team but the insurance legal team didnt want to know saying that the person didnt have any money and it it wasn't worth pursueing.

I was advised that the uninsured driver fund doesnt cover this sort of thing and to claim of their house insurance.

The cyclist claimed not to have house insurance eventually I ended up footing the bill, now I'm very wary of cyclists.

But without a juicy fat lame duck insurer who judges hate and view as something to be milked by claimant solicitors, there is no money to be had, so despite the rights and wrongs, ambulance chasers won't help you if they can't help themselves.

Sueing cyclists is always dodgy as without household insurance, they may not have means to repay, lets face it if they could afford a car they'd have been in it. From a liability point of view, they are also a tougher proposition to win on liability, and will get the favour of a court over a biker every time.

Phone her find out what she wants to do, but defo let adrian flux know as it could go on and on and on. My TPFT claim is still outstanding, 1year 2months on.
