Another "Opps I didn't see you"

Arnica has a long tradition of use for bruising . Twas one of the witches weeds. You can get arnica gel or lotion or cream at any pharmacy or many supermarkets. It is totally safe.

Sweet thank you

lol we'd put it in a big jar of vinager and put it on top of the TV... and then if we break up we can fight over who gets to keep it...

Hmmm. Because she bought the leg into the relationship she'd probably get to keep it. Sorry.

Yeah but if we last until Jan 06 then we'd be together 2 years... then I'd get half...

*would want the ankle/foot half... she can keep the knee*

Just got the quote for the repairs:

New Back light/indicators: $159
Left Mirror: $121
Clutch Lever: $25
Gear Lever: $107 (might explain why it was stuck in 2nd gear after the accident)
Number Plate: $11
Labour: $187

Total: $611.25

Not bad, a LOT cheaper than I thought. I have faxed that to the lady who hit Sam, and havn't heard anything back from her as of yet... Also Sam has made an appointment and will be going to the Dr's tomorrow afternoon.

Hi Girlie...


That list sounds mostly mechanical...... what about the fairings??

[placidfemme]

Good question... I dunno

*goes to phone the bike shop*

Hi Girlie...

True. When my FXR got hit from behind it broke the tabs that hold the 'duck-tail' bit of plastic at the end of the bike. That was $160 odd to replace. Also, when it hit the ground it bent the sub frame that holds the fairing in place.
Just thinking of this, it is probably still a good idea to at least contact your insurance company and advise them that there has been an incident that is being settled privately. My concern is that some other damage may become apparant later on that the cage driver will refuse to pay for as she will believe that the matter has been finalised.

True. The foot probably is more useful. You could use the gap between the toes as a toast rack ... an envelope holder ... a key holder ... or even use the whole foot as a door stop. The mind boggles.

[justsomeguy]

Well PF you have seen my bike - all banged up on the right.......


To fix it up mechanically it cost me around $150 including parts and labour.... But to get the fairings done it's gonna cost another $1000+ to get it back to the shape it was before.

justsomeguy: I heard back from the lady about 25 minutes ago... she wasn't expecting the damage to cost that much... she said "but its a small bike" and I said "yeah so everything is packed tighter together so more gets damaged" lol

She is now going through her insurance, so it's run about time from her insurance co to my insurance co... what a bloody drama!

Thought so!!! Te b!tCh

Anyway - that's what you pay your insurance company for so they should sort you out.

How much is that bike worth anyway?? For if the fairings are damaged I think the bill may come to over $1000 - will the bike be worth fixing after that??

Best of luck -

Moral of the story: Always have insurance.

Firstly... I spoke to the mechanic... there is no faring damage.

I'm not sure what the bike is worth now... I paid $3995 for it (I know I was ripped off). I sold it to Sam for $2995 (it had under 5000km's on the clock and was in perfect condition). It's insured for $3795. We've already forked out $1500ish to get the farings replaced last time (but last time there was no mechanical damage). I don't think $611 is too bad. But we won't be paying for it so thats good

Ahem.... it is now 3 years, that one has to be togther to get half...

lol damnit

*sulks because then I might not get the foot*
