Sorry to hear about the crash, my fxr's been in my garage for over 3 months GRRRR!!! It sucks aye.

Haha!! That would be awesome. Maybe make it look a bit wider while I'm at it

I'm glad you came out of it OK..... but would be curious about the time the car was reported stolen compared to your off.

True - but I expect it'll be a charred shell in a remote gully before long (sorry - but hell.. if I was going to cover my tracks...)

Did you get a semi decent description of the driver?

Gender, Age, Race, distinguishing features?

Don't give up though. Keep at it - one day you'll get some satisfaction out of it.

**phoenixgtr** · 8th August 2006, 10:09

Yes, thats actually what my work mates said. Sometimes cars suddenly get "stolen" after they've been involved in something like this, but it has actually been missing for 2 weeks

**Bend-it** · 8th August 2006, 14:36

So where's the damage on the car? Noticeable? Take it it's the rear... which side?

**Drum** · 8th August 2006, 14:48

Glad to hear you escaped relatively lightly PGTR.
A lesson for all those that ride around without insurance maybe?

**Shadows** · 8th August 2006, 14:59

Thats a bummer dude, glad you could walk away from it though! I'll keep an eye out. Knowing the area I'm in its probably parked around the corner!

**Macktheknife** · 8th August 2006, 15:50

Bummer dude, glad to hear you are ok, even if a bit sore.
Take care and best of luck with the repairs.

**poorbastard** · 8th August 2006, 16:31

Man the cunts deserve to have their heads ripped off especially considering they stole the car in the first place.

At least you didn't look too bad today, hope that leg gets better man.

Hope your insurance sorts out your bike quickly as well.

From the type I bike I am guessing a younger rider hence the excess is likely to exceed the cost of repairing the bike from a minor slide, insurance is of no gain in this case.

**Wasp** · 8th August 2006, 16:56

My excess is $500 Saslex, better than what the main companies offered ($1,500)

Drum, rg100 is the perfect example of the "if you ride without insurance...." murphy's law lesson

Glad to hear that you got to walk away from it all. Still its a shitty thing to happen, I know! I had a woman fail to stop at the scene when she took me out years ago. In court she explained that her reason for not stopping is that she thought she had killed me! She didnt want to "deal" with the body by herself and went & got her partner. Arrived back at the scene as they were loading me into the ambo and was duly charged.
Will keep a look out for it since Im working in the area, but as its already been said its probably toasted by now.

**Str8 Jacket** · 8th August 2006, 18:12

Farken 'ell Tristan, im glad that you are OK! I hope that you manage to hunt down the bastards! Let me know if I can help at all. Hope you're feeling better soon!

**gijoe1313** · 8th August 2006, 18:23

Ouch - at least you're able to post this and talk about it. Hope the insurance comes through quickly and some info comes your way about the miscreants. Paybacks always a bitch and they've got it coming with interest.

Soooo ... you going to replace your bike or get a different model?
