Hey Doug, play the sympathy card while everyone remembers. Ring up the local cop shop, they'll be the one that attended yesterday (should be same section {shift} too). Ask to speak to the sergeant and ask about an exemption for the 636 until the bandit is back on the road. Given your height, you'd possibly get one anyway but that's a bit of a process.

They might just say ok since your full test is only a few days away and they will flag it against your license in their system

its an entire month and 1 day, 21/4/07

Bugger ... well no harm in asking them if there's anything you can do

[Wasp]

Next thing apply for an emergency exemption .. while you have injuries to show what happened

[Wasp]

went to the police station and talked to the sargent, he said the AA handle it and he doubted i would get it

went to the AA and asked, i have to follow the normal applying method which apparently takes atleast 3-4 weeks

im going to try find some info on the ltnz website....

edit: feeling really crap right now

Any chance of insurance paying out quickly so that you could get a dunger 150 for a month? I noticed a couple of real roughies on Tardme the other night.

[Wasp]

doesnt look like it, dealing with state as the 3rd party insurer

[alexthekidd]

thats a real bugger mate, just seen this thread, glad your relatively ok. least you all in 1 piece.

shame about the Bandit! are they all leavin us now?

Get better soon mate

[Macktheknife]

Bugger about the bike damage Doug, still at least you can use it for parts or a track bike with a bit of effort.
Seems like no point in applying for the exemption if it takes 4 weeks to get it and you sit the test in a month anyway.
Good luck getting it sorted.

Just read the thread Doug,
Sorry to hear 'bout the damage to the Bandit but pleased to hear that ur not written off!!!
Sing out if I can help out in anyway.

Was the other driver insured for 3rd party only? Is not a problem, unless he recants his 'My fault' statement. State will settle quickly if liability is admitted.

State will end up owning the bike afterwards if it is written off not my insurance company so very doubtful i'll get it back

I am going to apply for an exemption, wont explain the reasons here but you should be able to figure it out

my understanding is he has full insurance
