Send them a message, explaining the situation in a fair bit of detail (include the fact that you'd only just got it fixed after it got reversed into, then someone drove into you, and his insurance won't cover it, the tow company is charing $15 a day, etc).

Can anyone think of any other good 'shaming' programs and such? Maybe close up or campbell live, but they seem more 'official' and less of a little problem thing

they took ages to fix the bike

now i don't care how bad the damage was, 4 months is an unacceptably long time to fix the bike without a courtesy vehicle. you really got shafted on that deal mate.

should i jst call the cagers insuarance company and see whats up straightup without waiting for the cops to get back to me??

should have done it as soon as the doctor returned you your phone.

if you leave it any longer, expect to get shafted again.

I haven't been reading much into this thread but glad to see that you're recovering, jith

Without an insurance company advocating for you - NOTHING is going to happen unless you contact and harass the driver's insurance company.

You need to contact them by phone first. Do this ASAP.

Think about what you want and when you want it. Be very clear.

Point out that the other driver appears to be at fault, and that they are liable for your costs.

The longer they delay, the more storage will cost them.

This is important:

Write down who you spoke to and what they said. Then follow up in writing: "Further to my phone conversation with X on Y date..." Please take the following actions X, Y and Z and please reply in writing by the following date.

That should start the call rolling. If they won't play ball, call every day and always ask to speak to the same person. They'll get sick of you and you'll eventually get some sort of resolution.

maaan i dont have insuarance on the bike!! cz i was in nepal all of last year (studying at Medical school in Pokhara) so the bike was unregistered (i got an exemption or wateva thy call it) and was sitting in my parents guarage for a year.
Then i got back from Nepal on 8th of November last year... took the bike to da shop da next morning so i can get a WOF so i can get the bike road registered.... on my way to the shop da bike was parked outside a post office and this lady reversed into it.....

so since 9th of Nov 2008 the bike was at the shop being fixed by that lady's insuarance!!
they took ages to fix the bike and finally on 10th of March 2009 (the day before the accident) the bike was ready, and ma mechanic had done a WOF on it too so algood.
so on 10th of March me and Ehab and kyle went to da shop and picked up the bike and brought it back..... and it was parked up in ma parents guarage at home.
on 11th morning.... i rode the bike to da post office (da one infront of britomart) and got it road registered and i was riding to Uni up princess st and this accident happened!!!

so hence ive got no insuarance on ma bike :-(
sooooooooooooo unlucky man!!

and i havent even riding much AT ALL...

and at this point i dont know if the cagers insuarance is paying for it... cz i keep caling da cops to see what their conclusion is and they wont call me bak!! errrrr

should i jst call the cagers insuarance company and see whats up straightup without waiting for the cops to get back to me??

Pot, kettle, black?

Pot, kettle, black?

not to condone the massacre of the english language that is committed regularly in these forums, but the mistakes you point out have sort of become widely accepted as the forums dialect of choice... while the ones he points out are more on the extreme side really, i am guilty of a lot of them tho.. SO MACROS JUST STFU!

P.S. i am foreign so i should get some leeway in all of this engrish business anyway!

I say that if the Good Lord had meant things to stay on topic he wouldn't have invented shrooms. Or tits. Or beer. Who are we mere mortals to fly in the face of divine intent. .
