What are the odds?

Wow, glad McJ's OK.
Was recently hit by an insured driver in our cage who caused $3500 of damage but had the decency to admit full liability. Not very common I'd imagine.
Hope it all comes through OK for you and you're back on the bike soon.

Thanks for all the best wishes folks. I'm not badly hurt - was a slow speed impact anyway. At times like these my heart goes out to those involved in accidents who have fared worse that I did.

I'm not particularly lucky - I just wasn't going very fast.

Assessor has written the car off (no surprise there) it's off to be valued now - damn shame - was a good runner - probably won't get enough money to get another car as good.

Glad you weren't on the Ducati my love, that would of really hurt - no side intrusion beams on the Ducati, just things called legs.

Mt Wellington Police force were helpful too so a big thank you to them if they're reading.

Yep, read our policy and said they cover up to $3,000 to repair your car if you are hit by an uninsured driver and if they are proven to be at fault, and if you have all the details for them to deal with. So it's being dealt with, wish us luck for a good outcome!

McJims got whiplash and a mild concusion and a sore arm, saw the car this morning, it's amazing he wasn't hurt worse, the tow truck guy said he's lucky to be alive. Impact damage on three sides. The front looks worst. McJim will download photo's later that we took this morning.

There you go, told you so

Cheers mate - I'll try that. Now how do I get the engine out of the passenger seat?

Fer fucks sake, mate. He's given you a start. Do you expect everything done for you?

Question.

Have you been "AT THE PHYSIO" this afternoon?

Spotted a Ducatti outside of the "Pelican Club", so instantly pissed myself laughing, that you were inside getting "sore bits"... "rubbed better"...

Fuxache Swoop! My wife reads these forums - do you want her to know ALL of my movements?
