If crash involves injury have to report it to police within 24 hrs, if crash involves damage to someones property, report it to property owner within 48 hrs or if owner unavailable to police within 60 hrs, if you just damage your own property then it's just a matter between you and your insurance.
Thats what my road code says anyway. Bad luck mate, wet roads eh!

Glad to hear your Ok champ. I know how bad this must have pissed you off!

Let me know when you want to test ride a Zuki

Got to be some KBer down ther that can knock your bike into shape to ride for the holidays got to be only cosmetic dammage eh! Duct tape is good mind you it is a Honda so would probably fall apart anyway. Na sorry to here that mate I wrote mine off but now got it back on the road again.

Oh I think its much more then cosmetic. Saw some pretty decent chunks of metal on the road, hope it wasn't the frame or engine bits.

Let me no what the Insurance Company does if they write it off then I could be interested in the wreck

When I had my crash I didn't report it or talk to the police or anything.
But my bike got towed while I was away getting a trailer and the police phoned me a few months later to fill out a report.

Damn sorry to hear Andrey. Glad the jacket held up.

**sels1** · 31st December 2008, 10:20

Sorry to hear that mate, good luck with the repairs/replacement

Any news Capt? Are you mobile yet? DJ

**captain_andrey** · 5th January 2009, 13:24

Insurance will get me a brand new honda

or i can take the money. I think I will just get the same bike. Should be mobile by the end of the week.

Way to go mate... Swan isnt too bad to deal with.
We just picked the wrong time of the year to come off.

Swann just rang me they have my claim and the guy doing the assisment is a biker so he knows what to look for. He is comming today or tommorow.
Just rang my home and contents and they are getting the qoutes they need for everything else.
Might have mine back or money by the end of the month.

**captain_andrey** · 5th January 2009, 13:46

yeah they were very nice to deal with, they are definitely bikers as they knew what they were talking about. The guy even cracked a joke at the honda and that its my chance to get a Kawasaki or something 'different'
