what got welded?

I'm unsure

I'm going for the steering stop on the frame.

Well seeing as the guy didn't know what to do when I passed the bike to him... He said he'd take a look at it on friday, called me this morning saying it was done

He seemed like a good bloke, I don't care honestly, it's just money... I'd rather have that woman off the road. At the stop light before she hit me, she cut off another car in the lane and I'm just going to guess, she does this shit all the time because she has such a big truck (completely oblivious to other road users) (I wish they just put pink stickers on the back of all vehicles being driven by women, so I know to stay the fuck away from them)

You'd be lucky to get one fork stanchion, you know, the shiny chrome thing the bottom of the fork leg slides up and down on, for $480. You were lucky they were repairable.

I don't think we have the whole story around the accident. It all sounds a bit dodgy and there's something you're not owning up to in this whole thing.

Pay the man.

My thoughts exactly.

Okay there's a two lane merging, she's in the left, i'm in the right behind another vehicle
the car in front of me is well ahead of her and the lane is merging
(this is at 8.30am auckland traffic on a thursday)
she boosts it forward so she can be infront of the other car, cutting him off
I go into the left lane as the car in the right brakes to avoid hitting this other woman
we continue on in the single lane, for 100 meters, me behind her, car behind me
(she's driving a truck with a horse trailer)
everyone's going 50 which is fine
she's quite far on the right side of the single lane and all of a sudden pulls into a driveway
the only thing I could do was dodge left and break
I hit her side door going about 10km/h while trying to make a 90 degree turn left into the same driveway she is

she didn't indicate, simple as that, didn't even lead up to it,

Pretty reasonable price I think. If anything ali was welded count yourself lucky.
I charge a minimum of 30 bucks no mater how big the weld is and .50c a tack then $1 a inch for ALI TIG. If you ever have to fill up a argon cylinder you will understand why.

Tough shit sounds like you were at fault. You should be following at a distance where you can safely stop without hitting the vehicle in front.

So you were following to close and hit the side of her coming from behind? So your fault.

So you were following too closely or what? *Edit* I'm following so far behind I was beaten to the post twice...

[Katman]

Yeah I know, I'll see if this insurance business will sort it out first, otherwise I'll sort out payment myself. student/territorial

No, you owe the workshop $480.

If you want to chase the women for the money afterwards that's up to you (although it doesn't sound as though you have any case).

Pay the guy the money you owe him.

[AllanB]

Shit mate you may end up paying for the panel and paint work on her door yet ......

[Madness]

Fucking cagers.

[The Reibz]

Mate stop letting these guys wind you up. Pay for the forks then go and get a box off piss and consume.
Don't try and explain your accident on here, you just end up sounding like a muppet. This attracts more muppets to make fun of your muppetness.
Glad your all right and the old bag didn't run you over or anything

[Mushu]

Seems to me the charges from the mechanic are quite fair, I'd have no problem paying 480 for a bent fork, far cheaper than replacement.

The accident seems like your fault, it boils down to you running up the back of her, you should be paying for her door as well.
