brings cutting corners to a whole new level really!

[skidMark]

bit of an update got the bike repaired they paid out for the bits except for some front forks because they were only "scratched"... yeah they look like shit they were perfect before... it was 3 weeks old

so now ill have to get out some touch up paint not to mention the inconveniance of not being able to ride it for like 3 weeks saw 9 buses today cut corners.....do none of them know how to drive?

maybe i should start laying complaints on all of them that do it .... hehe :eyepoke:

Mate, with those pictures, I'd be talking to the bus company CEO about getting rid of those "scratches" before those pics get e-mailed to the paper or the cops. Point is, even if you don't want to get nasty and get the guy charged and that - you still want your minta bike back in minta condition. Even if it has shrunk.

Mate that's not right!!!
Demand that it be put right - to the "exact same condition it was before it was run over". A 3 week old bike dosen't look like shit - and "you want it back to the same condition". If they refuse that, then you probably have a case for some compensation for loss of resale value, etc.

I'm not making any excuses for this bus driver. He/she needs some serous retraining, like starting from scratch with a learners licence.

You were lucky. Not many walk away after an accident with a bus.

As above. Tell the bastards that "as before you ran it over" is what you will settle for.
Was this the bus company or their insurance people?

[skidMark]

thier insurers bought all the parts but they ddnt seem to bother with shocks a few scratches i don't want to shit stir too much though aye don't really want to take on stagecoach im too poor for a court battle lol

[James Deuce]

Don't want to take on Stagecoach?

Geez, THEY RAN OVER YOUR BIKE.

Shit stir away. If you don't I'm sending this thread link off to a few TV channels and radio stations.

[skidMark]

ooo lordy LOL

[skidMark]

please don't lol my face aint pretty enough for tv and i don't have the voice for radio

[James Deuce]

You've got 48 hours to post that they are fixing the cosmetic damage.

[Zapf]

the sad part is that this happen everywhere on a daily basics...

[Dadpole]

Did they take the bike and return it after the repairs or did you have to arrange things?
At only three weeks old before the bus attack you would expect it back without a mark on it (sorry) Sounds like they are just trying to fob you off with the least they can get away with. Don't forget that you have a PR embarrassment for them (with photos)
They should be doing their best to keep you happy after one of their clowns nearly killed you.

Did you get the law involved - accident report etc?

if you stopped pissing around with teh small ones you could afford a working MOTORBIKE.

[Zapf]

please don't lol my face aint pretty enough for tv and i don't have the voice for radio

yep... u better get onto it... I know a few reporters too

[kro]

definately charging him ....

absolutely !!, I know those bus drivers have tight schedules to stick to, but thats sheer laziness imo, and inexcusable. What if some dim-witted kid had been on a push bike at that same intersection, he'd be toast.
