What did you do to your bike today?

Is that the sound of blazing sun crashing against the bedroom window?


Hmm. *pulls duvet tighter*

 

So the procrastination was successful and you are safe to nuture your hangover and pine for the open road?

Hangovers are a distant memory at the moment, I’ve been banned from drinking...and almost everything fun bar bikes.

Knocked off the thing. Bugger. Nearly made it to Cadwell an' all. Annoyingly the clutch lever snapped clean off and so it's been abandoned 40miles from home with no roof over its head.

Haha thanks. Yeah I'm alright, got a badly ankle since it was smushed between some car and the bike (side swiped!). Was all at low speed but the bike should magic itself home tomorrow. Currently it is at the back of the (at the time) local rozzer shop. Quite a few bits bent, but hopefully not them forks lol! Buggggger

Hello likle bike. I'm just having an interview with the roz, back in minute.

Bit bent. Foot was smashed on this side. Probably right where that fairing mount lug is (smashed).


https://i.imgur.com/lVaA6JNl.jpg' alt='IMGUR>'>

The cable tie holding the fairing on where the mirrors would be has gone missing, can I claim for that?


https://i.imgur.com/brSuRJ5l.jpg' alt='IMGUR>'>

Oh no, the last bit of the original castrol fairing!

Couldn't retrieve the bag of duct tape, subframe a bit squished. It's 3M stuff, if it gets wet I think I'll claim for that too

Came out of tesco, just topped up, heading north (green line). At junction there was a big black pickup on the left waiting to pull out and a shiney blue thing to the right, which didn't see me and possibly sped up to nip out after dithering (conjecture). Bike ended up in front of that pickup on its left side (to give that side a good going over too), possibly hit it a bit. I ended up in the gutter more than slightly miffed and threw a glove at the bike for some furious reason. The driver did come straight over actually but I was too busy being dramatic in my gutter. Loads of others were helping out, because obviously I was trying to lead the rescue effort of the bike whilst being told not to move by an off duty fireman. Felt like I'd had the Misery treatment, sledge hammer to the ankle. I've got the details of the driver from the copper that turned up, so I suppose I'll have to start faffing about on the phone tomorrow. Will all be a bit better when the AA man turns up with the bike :D

Spent too much time in the back of the neenaw to get any names and numbers of witnesses or pictures but fingers crossed it just goes swimmingly. It shouldn't cost a lot to sort but the effort... And the pre booked track day on Monday too... Bah.

Cheers all. Blessings counted, excitement worn off and whatnot, plus bike is back so I can chill out now. AA man seemed to take forever, must've stopped for a cheeky maccy dees. Time to make a list now. The lass wants to avoid going through insurance but I don't think she realises how much all the "superficially" damaged bits cost. And the boots. On closer inspection of said boot there is a nice imprint of that fairing lug 'ole and matching abrasion on me ankle. It's almost done a better job of making a hole in the leather than the Chinese hole punches I got the other week :D Fine Italian leather boot with a divet, never right.

Insurance have been notified anyway so it might be a bit late for that now.

Just cos insurance is notified it's not too late. I did it once then told them I was mistaken and I hadn't hit a thing. Nowt they can do if you don't claim.


Go run a quote on compare the market right now (or bikesure :-)) with you having just had an addicent and claim today, and see what the increase on your premium is vs cost in fixing own repairs.

Just seen this. That’s a b****r. Glad you are reasonably OK. Hope the ankle recovers soon.
