Default Smidsy !!!

This is what happened when someone pulled out in front of me on a dual carriageway last Saturday:

Ouch! Luckily I fared better than the bike and was able to get up and walk (limp) around after it happened. Can't say much more as its still an open insurance case. Make sure you wear your kit people...and watch out for them there cars.

PS Thanks to Paws for your help, it all looks to be going through ok so far.

cheers

Thats pure vandalism------One of the best bikes Kawasaki ever made mindlessly destroyed.Glad you got away with it,now hit em for loads of money.Every item of kit/clothing and a bad back is worth a quid or two.

make them pay for not looking properly depending on when you want your money tho, i does take a while, especially if they dont admit its their fault, hard to believe they wouldnt in this case but it still happens

gawd, I'd have hopped over and smashed his car in, to see how he liked that.
Theres just no need for mindless pulling out and trashing someones pride and joy
