This also highlights the perils of riding mini-bikes on the road. Bus driver sitting high up, you 6 inches of the ground.

Hi Mark. Firstly I'm glad you (unlike your bike) came out okay. That could easily have been very ugly.
What is amazing is that looking at the pictures, this wasn't even a busy intersection! He had plenty of visibility and his lane was VERY wide. Look at how much he cut the corner!
If I were you, I'd approach a senior person at Stagecoach and be very diplomatic about the situation. Explain that while the insurance company has replaced most of the parts, you still have scratched forks. Send them the photo's supporting that it wasn't a freak accident and ask for their assistance. No harm in asking. If your approach is confrontational, they will jump on the defensive and just pass it to their lawyers.
A few years back I was driving my car down Ponsonby Road and there was this beached whale on a mail delivery scooter who just about t-boned me at a sidestreet. I drove on and when he overtook me he kicked my car! It left a scuff mark right were there was a previous door dent that scratched the paint. Oh yes! My lucky day. His boss was very nice and paid to have my car fixed.
Yours was more than a kick my friend! Go get em!
It growed up
Saw a stagecoach bus this morning in Penrose, advertising Wendys.
"We do not cut corners"
Nearly drove off the road laughing, if anyone sees it, get a photo and stick it on here.

You might want to be careful about approaching the police about that, is your bike legal to be ridden on the road? In the pics it looks like a little "Thumpstar" style bike, which I would have thought you werent allowed to use on the streets?
Either way, the driver deserves getting his nuts stapled to the wall for it, as someone said it could have been a kid on a push bike. But dont get yourself a ticket in the process . . .

All buses (and other long vehicles) noticably cut corners. That's just the geometry of the thing. That means the front has to go waaay wide so that the rear end does not cut the corner too much. Of course this prompts the peasantry to yell, "They think they own the bloody road!".
If you hear that statement be assured that you are in the presence of someone that knows feck-all about driving.
Generally speaking truck and bus drivers will be know more about driving than anybody else on the road, but they have to learn too and as human beings are as subject to the occasional brain fart as the rest of us.

If Mark hadn't had the presence of mind to jump off his stationary bike he'd be dead or seriously injured. That's not the kind of "brain fart" I'd excuse.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
