Wolfie 0 Posted May 9, 2011 For those who have not read my thread in the "say Hello" section, i had a truck reverse into last Tuesday (full story HERE)bit of a update!I am on the mend...kinda..i seem to have stomach cramps when i eat or drink so going to see if i can see a doctor, thats really making me worry, but the leg is on the mend...which is good.Spoke to the insurance people today and (as Greg will testify) had a major stress when they said it looked like the truck was not insured! At first they thought it was a farm tractor as the reg number was saying it was a Merc tractor (it was a Merc Axor)i tried to explain that the word "Tractor" was, in this case just a term used to describe a heavy-duty commercial vehicle used to tow trailers, but the lady had it stuck in her head that it was like a farm tractor then they said that the insurance details the driver gave me was only coming back as "quotes".but in the end it got sorted! and i get a hire bike its a Bandit 650 and they are picking up the TL to do a repair assessment.what fun....
