got t-boned on Friday

No matter how careful you are, no matter how much advanced training you have, you can't really do anything when someone just drives out from a junction like that.
Something similar happened to me, van was turning left off the main road onto a smaller road. I was passing the van and some woman in a fiat punto pulls out from the smaller road to the left. There's crazy people out there that are in a daydream as they're driving.

Got stung for storage costs for my bike. guards said first four days free.

300 to release :-!

Who rang the tow truck?

If the Guards rang it let them pay it, you didn't ask for it to be towed and if they wanted it to examine it (PSV) then they are liable for the cost

Get well soon fella.....I had two middle aged women pull out on me the other day doing the howth tour. Got the fingers from one!

I hope you take your one to the cleaners......ever receipt, etc etc. Get the best lawyer as her insurance company will be paying. Also do not and I repeat do not go for an early settlement.....wait it out till your up and running.

Take care.

Sorry to hear this Kaimera, glad you are okay-ish. Wishing you all the best and hoping you will make full and complete recovery real quick, better weather is only around the corner!

Get well soon Kaimera was glad to see your typing didn;t go out the window;)

Hope it doesn't put you off biking and hope you recover 110%

Iv'e been in a few crashes my self and have used solicitors that specialise in these types of incidents and would have got near to nothing if had gone at it alone. Best of luck.

kaimera

small update: have solicitor engaged.

Rang guards and have her details. also guard has 2 witnesses to get statements from.

my job offer is rescinded :-(

No surgery yet, still waiting on mri on shoulder.

also, I've had a lot of Morphine tabs the last few days...

That's a pain in the hole. Wonder if your solicitor will get compensation for you for that?

Sorry to hear that man, get well soon and hope you get sorted.

Yeah there's a lot of idiots out there driving that really shouldn't be on the roads.

Peanut2011

As if it was not bad enough that you were in the hospital already. Really hope your luck picks up. Really sorry to hear about the job offer.

RosieJoe

unclebill98

WHAT!? That's a bit ****e!
Usually you'd be able to claim loss of earnings if you were missing work. Have a word with your solicitor and keep any correspondence that confirms the job offer/lack of job offer.

Isn't morphine lovely though?

kaimera

Still waiting on mri on shoulder.

Moving ward...again.

Surgery thurs on foot. first of a few.

ct scan showed a crushed bone in the foot too.

also adrenaline is wearing off, starting to hurt allover in between meds.

Best of luck with the surgery kaimera. Just wondering how fast were you going when the cage ran into you?

Also two Fazers taken out on one day.. I better not let my Fazer read this thread, poor girl would be so upset..!

kaimera

bout 40km. was watching the traffic up ahead trying to gauge the lights and see which turn I'd take home.

if I was in a car, I'd have hit her front fender. on the bike I tried to avoid - would have been worse if I hit the side of her ( in hindsight I guess, just been thinking how worse it could have been)

the bike - pics to big to upload on phone.

cracked engine block, rad destroyed. but doesn't look too bad to be fair lol.

writeoff tho. more to repair than its worth

positron

Yep sounds like you got lucky-ish. Head on at 40 kms could have been bad.. but then again it all depends on what hits where and all that - I don't want to think about it. (Mental note to self: REALLY REALLY slow down while overtaking buses. Anything could appear ahead of the bus.)

PS: If/when you ever decide to fix up the bike, have a look at foc-u.co.uk, pleny of Fazer parts going around.

cantdecide

Glad to hear things are moving along.

At least you are able to see the upside, so I would guess you are feeling better!

No point in thinking about that, I am sure you know how lucky you were.

Hope all goes well with the surgery! Best of luck!
