Bike was parked today, when I went out to ride home after work I noticed that it was on a totally different angle. As I was hoping on I noticed a not on the speedo saying "Hey someone hit your bike, I picked it up for you, their rego is ######"
So I thought cool, checked the bike and it only has minor scuff scratching marks to the fairings.
The owner of the car that hit mine was actually still there, turns out they have bad english and that they hit my bike, into another bike which then went into another bike. One of the other bike owners was sorting things out for them with the rental car company etc so I got all the details. Owner was really apologetic and genuine about it.
Called up my insurance company, told them about the situation and was told that to fix the minor scuff marks on the fairing they would need to order a new fairing kit in, but chances are the bike would be written off.
Part of my was like screw that its only minor would rather keep my bike.
Then I was also told that because my bike was knocked into someone elses then they would need to claim insurance off me, and the 3rd bike owner would need to claim insurance off them.
Going to be a real pain having to claim insurance just to protect myself from having to pay for damange to another persons bike, lose my no claims bonus etc because someone else hit me.
ARRRGGHHHHHHHHHH
