Wish I would be able to just walk away with a broken toe after a bike accident, with the accident insurance I got I’d get at least £1000 just for that
Sorry to hear about your off, bikes mend. It sounds like you got away lightly
As for the exhaust, I take it you didn’t declare it on the insurance? Do you still have the standard one? Does it have “Not for road use” anywhere on it?
as lil miss said put the standard back on or failing that take off the endcan and when insurance assesor has a look say it was not with the bike when returned and ya can claim for a new 1, could have come off when crashed or nicked when bike was left or transported etc etc, you get my drift? lol.
Damn, bad luck fella! I hope it was handled properly and the claim goes quickly! t-bones aren’t good for riders, or bikes! I doubt the cops will be interested in your exhausts mate, don’t worry!
Sorry to hear about the accident, but good to hear your OK. When i had an off through someone doing a no right turn, the bike had an illegal can. never had any problems in with the claim.
I hope you make out of it.
Bloody hell mate sounds as though you got away lightly, all the same get better quick. I have also had an off this week bike is not looking so good… but hey we are not replacable…
Binned the moped in 1975 when someone pulled out in front of me from the right, laid my suzook gently in the dirt having missed a sharp right hander, then trashed the Storm last week when airhead pulled a U turn without looking…how someone could miss ART cans and fluorescent HRC paint scheme… evidently guardian angel was on holiday last week… BC2
Glad you relatively ok. Pics suggest could have been much worse. Can’t belive damage to cage.
Hope you manage to get this sorted quickly thro insurance ((but that never happens does it?!) Have you got photos of accident scene, or even get photos of the site and surrounding area now.
I made claim against an illegal right turn, and photos helped when her statement suggested the road was of a different layout.
Sure illegal pipes won’t be an issue, as your claim is for damage to you and the bike and loss of associated bits of kit and loss of earnings/work. Try for a replacement bike whilst case ongoing.
Make sure that you don’t have some long term injuries, such as soft tissue damage, back injury, or other. These can sometimes take a day or so to become apparent. If so, consult your legal/insurance people.
