Okay no need to worry guys and gals but I thought I'd let you know I had an accident on the bike today. Nothing too big luckily was only doing about 20. A car pulled out a side road on my left and I was just getting up to speed to not tearing away or it could have been nasty.

Bike seems okay just a scratch that I won't claim unless the bikes bent at all.

Myself I'm okay, just a bruised stomach, painful wrist, and it shook me up quite a bit.

Still could have been a lot worse just means no bike for a bit as I can't pull the clutch in

Also bikes fine as my tyre hit his wing. He couldn't open his door, and was deep so he came off a lot worse

Bloodyhell Chad glad your allright firstly as for the insurance if you hit the car at 20mph somethings bound to be bent...as it wasnt your fault and the knobhead pulled out on ya i'd let the insurance company sort it

Got to agree with the others firstly get to the docs get yourself checked and then report to the insurance because if his car is damaged he will and then your ins will be all over it.
The bike needs checking

[dick65 0]

sorry to hear that chad,go and get yerself checked over m8,peace of mind,the bike will mend

[aceuggy 0]

As the others have said. Get yourself and the bike checked out...in that order.

[finger 0]

Ok m8

Glad you are ok

Now did you get they name & address ? get them to pay for every thing. As they pulled out on you it is they fault.

Hope your back on the bike soon

[sparky 0]

Had similar thing happen with me last week New driver pulled out I managed to only just hit him he panicked burst into tears cus he'd only passed his test last week no damage to mine so just had some wise words told him watch for bikes in the future shook me up still tho

Like they say tho get checked out make sure nothing's broken as for bike there repairable your not so easily repaired

[gravelrash 0]

You really need to get yourself checked out Chad 20mph is a fair old impact mate could have hairline fractures or worse you need to be sure, same with the bike Chad forks and headstock have taken a good wallop and as it wasn't your fault, get your insurance company informed. Hope your back 100% soon mate!

[stantheman 0]

get yourself checked over mate and get a claim in if youre lucky you could get a nice bit of wonga and they pulled out on you mate so they are 100% at fault the same thing happened to me when i was 19 and the bike was written off it was only 6 days old and i bought it back off the insurance company i made a lot of money

[lee1 1]

as said chad go get checked out,and tell the insurance company

speedy recovery

[mdhillug03 0]

Hi,

I had a very similar impact in September 11, only the car hit the side of the bike, rather than bike hit side of the car. The speed was about 20ish. Bike was written off. Full claim taken from drivers insurance. You don't owe the driver out. If it was their fault claim. Your helmet is useless, never use a helmet that been involved in an accident. If you were hurt the police should have attended the scene and took statements from you both. Did an ambulance attend. You need to replace all biking gear that you were wearing. You need to put the claim through! You dont know whats broken if anything on the bike and you don't wanna find out on the move! or it could be RIP

[mdhillug03 0]

Oh and by LAW you have to inform your insurance company! Even if not your fault and 100% of claim is going through drivers company.

yep if its just wheel i dont mind if its replaced like when someone hit my car it was £70 to repair so it was done the next week. but if forks etc are bent then i will be talking to his insurance

[mdhillug03 0]

his insurance will assess the bike from top to bottom and prob provide you with a courtesy bike! You should contact them especially if you are skint. You should not be paying for an inspection of the bike, particularly if incident not your fault.

[flange 0]

Sorry to hear Chad.Get checked out mate.It sounds like you gonna have to claim because of your bike anyway.Respect for a young one(or anyone) for not trying to claim falsely(sp) for injury but it wont take much to write your bike off.Did you damage any clothing etc.If they write ya bike off so be it but u might get to buy it back for a good price.Why should you loose or have to lift a finger to put anything right.
Just my op m8

[General-Lee 0]

Hope you get better soon dude, the twitchyness sounds like your yolks might have slipped a bit, doesn't take much to sort that. Keep your hand and stuff rested, definitely get the insurance involved.

[finger 0]

If you are going to put a clame in to his insurance do not leave it to long & find out how bad you are as the insurance comp may say you have left it to long and will drop the £ on every thing they have to pa out for.

Glad you are ok and good luck

[Chadatious 0]

okay good news on me feeling a lot better and been workin in a bodyshop today with very little pain.

bike wise where the wheels buckled i told him he could replace it as £100 to £150 for a new one, he said he cant afford it and would pay to have it refurbed, that sayd from £75 i bet you it will be more for mine.

yet some how hes fixe dhis car first

hes going to take my wheel down thursday, if he doesnt sort it i will be contacting his insurance and he can pay the high excess rather than pay £110 for a nice wheel and be done with it

[mdhillug03 0]

Sounds a f$%kin cowboy! I would get on to his insurance now. You owe him nothing.

[Chadatious 0]

no he keeps saying he needs it cheap. i said i dont care about cheapo mate, you damaged my bike i want it sorted asap and properly or i will go through your insurance,

way hes back chatting it worried me, but was he insured to drive his wifes car

[dick65 0]

get on to his insurance,hes taking the p**s chad

Chad mate i dont like to say but he as no right telling whats what you should have gone through your insurance company end off, lets hope hes a man of his word otherwise he'll make a mug of ya...soz its sounds a bit harsh but most folk are out for them selves, lets hope this dosen't bite you in your arse

[Davehutch-hutchs 0]

stue is right as you get older you will realize not to trust anyone , GO THROUGH YOUR INSURANCE !!

[Kenb 0]

The guys are right chad you will end up with sweet nothing if you don't take control of the action. You need it sorting now at your convenience not his. The longer you piss about, the easier it will be for him to walk away.

[Chadatious 0]

lets see what he sayd tmoz once hes phoned that place, and i will say i want a reciept for proof that its been done professionally.

[Oldfart 0]

Chad dont mess about go straight to the insurance. Are you going let someone take your wheel and get it fixed by someone you dont even know is qualified to fix it. If its alloy it needs special treatment to remove stresses and limit cracking. I would put it back on my bike. You need a proper inspection on that bike m8. What if something else goes wrong and you have another mishap? Dont trust him. I could make you a receipt for that with a bogus name, it means nothing

[General-Lee 0]

oh dear you haven't let him take care of it surely? Honestly tell your insurance before it's too late, he's going to mess you about and do god only knows what if you dont, whatever you do dont trust him with anymore of your bike, for all you know he might sell it.

[Chadatious 0]

what the wheel?

i know where he lives,

and im seeing what he said tomorrow hes bouind to back track like he has then ill say new wheel or insurance, you choose!

This is, as everyone else has said, the correct answer.

Glad you're (almost) fairly OK though mate. Bear in mind if the shoe was on the other foot, it's most likely that he would be getting a quote from the dearest bodyshop in town, as well as making calls to an ambulance-chasing company about his whiplash/backache/erectile dysfunction.

[ken s 0]

Tell him you want a new wheel and he can have to old one get it repaired and sell it to recoup some of his money. The last he can do it get you a new wheel or as the others have said its time for the insurance company.

Glad you're okay mate

No need for me to say anything as it's already been said in earlier posts. If you're wheels buckled Chad, new one, not refurbed. Would you buy a refurbed front wheel for your bike? Would anyone on here? I certainly wouldn't, not prepared to take that risk. As ken said earlier

Tell him you want a new wheel and he can have to old one get it repaired and sell it to recoup some of his money. The last he can do it get you a new wheel or as the others have said its time for the insurance company.

As flange said earlier, respect for trying to do it properly, but this guy is taking the pixx. No money for your wheel, but gets his car repaired? I think he's seen a young lad and is taking advantage. Stop waiting for him Chad and set the wheels in motion.

August not that far away and there'll be a few lads down there with you. Nip round and see if he's in

[mdhillug03 0]

All respect too you on the not trying to make a fast buck! but if this guy shafts you.

You might need to visit a GP. Damaged wrists could have huge impact upon your career as a crafts man/body specialist. Just remind him of this.



boom!
