    Damn glad to hear he's OK. Insurance is a must have people, I can't stress that enough. Even my $2k ish VTZ has full cover.

    Crikey! Sorry to hear about the little incident ... woulda been bigger if it was the Ducati

    Glad to hear the big fellas ok and hes got the bestest nurse in the world to get him right again!

    Just hope the kiddy winkies don't take to doing a Bart Simpson ala "ow. Quit it. Ow. Quit it!"

    There's a lesson here ... no good deed goes unpunished ... sparing the Duc meant losing the cage!?

    Ahh that's terrible man!
    But at least you're still in one piece, and your ducati is still shining. I bet if it could talk it'd be thanking you right about now!

    Insurance should be compulsory like the UK if you ask me.

    See...they really are out to get us. That sticker led the prick to believe it was a bike he was targetting. Sure you want another?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Sorry to read the news, regards to McJim

    I was in a similar situation a few years back and my insurance paid out for my car because it was entirely the other persons fault. They didn't consider it entirely the other persons fault until the police charged them though
    3rd party policies often have this in them, apparently.

    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    3rd party - uninsured driver clause

    Yep, read our policy and said they cover up to $3,000 to repair your car if you are hit by an uninsured driver and if they are proven to be at fault, and if you have all the details for them to deal with. So it's being dealt with, wish us luck for a good outcome!

    McJims got whiplash and a mild concusion and a sore arm, saw the car this morning, it's amazing he wasn't hurt worse, the tow truck guy said he's lucky to be alive. Impact damage on three sides. The front looks worst. McJim will download photo's later that we took this morning.

    HOLY HELL!
    Bugger to hear about this guys, let me know if there is anything I can do to help, take it easy until you are sorted Jaime. Those concussions can take a while to come right, don't push it.

    Did the cops attend etc?? If so, get the crash report. It'll cost you $55.00, but may be very useful later, if the pillock decides to deny liability. You know what happened with hXc....
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
