    my

    my thoughts exactly. A couple of years ago I accidently backed into a car in a parking lot. My fault. I was actually lighting a ciggy while backing out with no throttle and my foot off the clutch. Made a minor mess of both cars. My car is insured and my insurance had to pay for both vechiles. It was my fault. I pay. This case, it was/is the farmers fault. he pays. I will wait till the police get back to me tonight and then go headhunting in the morning.

    Sorry about your accident with the cow.
    I trust you remembered the tag id numbers and cut pattern shape in the cow ear.
    You'll then be able to find the owner very quickly.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    I shall allow this slight modification and burning of my words as I could have phrased it better. But snuffles, they know what I meant, now do not nit pick!

    Are you prepare to go to Claims Court? Are You able to prove that the cow is definitely from a particular farm? If not, hope that the Farmer is an honnorible person and takes responcibility for the damage to your bike, otherwise you will have to right it off as bad luck.

    Sorry to hear about your accident and do think the farmer needs to pay damages, but I just don't like your chances of getting compensation (specially if his insurers want to weasle out of paying).

    Out of a ACC report:

    Mr Millar said stock owners need to realise they are responsible for their animals and could be liable for any damage they cause. "What we are trying to get through to people is to secure their stock. In all cases stock security and fencing is discussed with owners, pointing out potential dangers and liability," he said.

    Yes. I am prepared to pay $5000 to get some a dork who is trying to weasle his way out of paying $3000 just to teach him a lesson. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. I consider myself a reasonable man and am willing to talk reasonably about how he is going to pay. There is no excuse for stock on roads. I farmed for long enough to know what stock are like. I know it is not difficult to maintain boundary fences even if stock is running a muck inside the boundaries. I just hope that the cow came from a dairy farm with money and they will write it off as a bad accident and payup rather than a lifesytle block with some poor guy with a 90% mortgage. Massive generalization here but you can't get blood out of a stone.

    Time will tell.

    And it works quite well, if a little slow - good luck with the process.
