zadok bins it!

[Highlander]

That seriously sucks.

Good thing is you're insured and unhurt.
Lot of guys get neither from a situation like this.

Now to go shopping for the replacement...

[Virago]

Just caught up with this thread. Sorry to hear about the bin Marty, but glad you came out fairly unscathed.

I hope you get your insurance pay-out promptly, and can get down to some serious bike shopping!

[Posh Tourer :P]

I'd better be careful round here then..... I didnt know you had problems as bad as Auckland!

[Warr]

Got the word today.......bike written off.

Darn .. Remember you getting that one.. sounded a sweet number for the Ausi roads.
Will you replace it with the same or do you have a inkling for a change?
If so would you care to reflect on any thing you would look for different - other than the obvious "Being able to avoid deviant cars"
.... what are you plans ...

Got my eye on a Tiger 955i, like this one, with panniers:

Nice one on the new bike you are looking at! Sorry to hear of the off........ What did the driver of the car have to say?

[M1CRO:Me]

Hopefully we will catch up for another ride when you are over.

Zodok,

The scrapes are healing up well, but I have pain in the right side of my chest. No bruising there and no broken ribs, but must have done some of the muscle between the ribs. It's barely been two weeks since the off, so I guess it will still take a couple of more weeks to be completely right.
Hope to have the replacement bike about this time next week. The insurance seem to be sitting on their hands a bit.

hey mate, yeah mum told me you binned it just before she came over, sorry to hear man but glad your alright. heard you managed to save at least one of your panniers. Good luck with the next one.
