not looking good!!!!

best photo i can get.

as u can see the exhaust is damaged, the subframe has snapped off, the number plate is touching the top of the undertray. the guy down at the local bike shop is doing all the work for me, and he is estimating it at about £2000, not sure if thats including labour. (thank f*ck i aint paying for it).....what i dont get is there isnt a scratch on the seat unit, i thought that would have been smashed to bits.

for those of you who weren't at the pub last nite.....i got knocked off on tuesday, by some stupid cow who obviously wasnt paying any attention to other road users. i was sitting in traffic and all of a sudden she came up behind me and knocked into me pretty hard, my bike was pratically under her car, she had parked it on my swingarm and the seat unit was resting on her bonett. for those of u who no me i dont take kindly to people who touch my bike, but i new my little precious was hurt so i stayed calm lol!!!

[gixer400]

OMG becky. thats terrible. are you ok??

good to hear you kept calm this time. im sure you would have killed her with your bare hands.

[Jetski]

:angrypun Only a little bit of damage then!!!??

OMG! It's a miracle you didn't end up under her poxy car! It's funny don't you think, that most of the recent accidents have been caused by women drivers? Not to slate my own kind and all that, but it's kinda funny don't you think.

How do you feel about the fact that you're bike has to be rebuilt as such? so it's not in its original state? Some people lose a little bit of love and I know how much love you have for your bike :)

I surprised you didn't give her a knuckle sandwich to be honest, but then I suppose an assault charge isn't what you want on top of a broken bike :(

Hope they get your preshus back on the road soon - you just don't look right on a tank!! :) x

[Juvenilerider]

****ing hell! looks like you were proper lucky! hopefully it'll all get sorted soon.

[becky]

ye it all seems to be women lol....dont like to slate me own kind either!!!

im all right though, hard as nails me hehe

i feel so lost without her, i love my bike so much, and all ways will. i loved her even more after the track day. at least the damage can be repaired. work should start on it next week....there even gonna get a brand new akropovic exhaust as well, so i had to go give em the baffle, just incase the engineers wanted to hear it running.

[Gixxer-TeZ]

I might be speaking out of turn here but have a private word with fall off as he might have an idea you could speak to your dealer about ???????


Might not work but try it if he knows what I'm on about.

[Spider]

hey girl so sorry to hear that happen! i think back to all the accidents in the past 6 months i think everyone has had one! inclkuding me! and i know normally its 50/50 like we were speeding or doing summink silly but the recent ones are all there faults and i all i can say is car drivers are out to get us!

[skid]

As soon as the sun comes out car/van/lorry drivers lose there brains, seen 3 bike accidents in the last 2 days, all hit up the arse.

The main thing is your OK.

Iv just ordered some mitsubishi shogun bull bars for my r6.So watch out car drivers I'm coming for YOU.See how you like getting t-boned you **** heads

[Juvenilerider]

GO ON THE DOUGIE! GET THEM BASTARDS! ha

[MickyGixer]

Awwww Bekki I recall vividly when the Gixxer had her mishap !! I love her more now we've been through the wars and the main thing is that you are in one piece and OK, and a tank the Bandit may be but at least you can stretch your legs on it till your baby is back on the road....

I dont like slating us lady drivers but the simple fact is too many women drivers have cars too big for them or dont know that the mirrors are used for checking for other road users etc.....not putting your feeking make up on and steering with your knees at 70mph!!....lololol :laugh1 :laugh1

[auroredj]

Becky, know I said it last night but glad you're ok, especially after seeing your poor baby, hope it all gets sorted sooner rather than later

[harriebird]

i feel sick again babe, it was bad enough when i heard about it. i hate seeing pictures of mashed up bikes, especially after you were so careful to get the race fairing for the track day! arghhhhhhhh!

xxxx

[Ride-or-die]

shooot man, sorry to hear this, get her fixed up and rideable asap!!!

[r6paul]

Ouch, sorry to hear. Hope she gets fixed up soon!

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

thats sucks the almighty big one some people really are just spstics aint they at leas it will be fixed soon. and glad you ok son on and so forth

[Whippet]

ouch :shooter

[Juvenilerider]

Good news, God just text me. He said, "The lady that crashed into Becky, lost her licence and job, happy days, peace out" - What a nice guy hey.

Is a big chunk of the £2k the subframe?

[jag]

Hi Becky, sorry to hear about that, hope you get everything sorted out soon.

Jag

[becky]

my dad has been on to the insurance company today and all i have to do is get the repair estimate and send it off to the insurance company. then they can tell him to go ahead and fix it. should have it back in a few weeks. wahooooo

[kasandrich]

God just text me. He said,


ROFL!!!!!!!!

In regular contact is he?

[fall off]

happy days, things are looking up:clap:laugh2

[robsal0230]

saw your bike today whilst i was there you were very lucky you were not hurt my dad had a similar accident and is now disabled.
Glad you are going to get it fixed soon though, (you look so small on that other bike!!)

[nori1000]

dumb,dumb,dumb,tin box drivers,still at least ur ok, i presume,could of been a lot worse,hope u get it sorted out quickly

[becky]

****ing hell i was lucky wernt i. suppose u dont no how lucky u are until u see it in a different perspective (if that makes any sence)

[Gixxer-TeZ]

(if that makes any sence)





That didn't make any senSe Becky. :grin2

[Tori]

Glad you're ok, that's the main thing. Is horrid seeing the bike all mashed up after, but hopefully it'll fix ok. I felt the same when my z got smacked big style. Get it booked in somewhere where they'll give you a decent courtesy bike :-D

[rembrandt]

glad your ok , looks like you were very luck ,bike doesnt look to great is it repairable ?

[becky]

i actually dont no if they will repair it or not until tuesday. im getting worried now, even the bike shop saying its coming close to a write off.....i dont no how, its not damaged beyond repair. and how much will they pay for it to be repaired......this sucks. why are some people spastics!!!!

[rembrandt]

Hi Becky , insurance companys normaly work on a percentage basis , it doesnt need to be more than the bikes value to write it off I think its about 2/3rds of the bikes value when it becomes uneconomical to repair but it is your bike dont forget and argue with them if you do want it repaired, the other option is money in lou of repair which means you keep the bike and they pay you for the bike minus the value of the bike in its damaged state and the bike doent become a write off and you just repair it your self. your options depend on what you want or if they do write it off make sure you get full market value and dont take there excuses why the offer is low

[becky]

if it did get written off and they paid out the market value. would i be able to buy it back off them, for a lower price coz it'll be smashed up. but then if i did buy it off them and get it insured again would the insurance be higher because it would have been a write off? also if i come to sell it on will it be harder to sell?

[SDM]

Becky, glad your OK, both Dawn (Auroredj) and Graeme (Whippet) got knocked off by car drivers (well taxi drivers:mad: :mad: ) and they claimed on the other drivers Insurance, they did not involve there own Insurance company's.

I'm not sure how it all works, but I'd go down the route that it wasn't your fault, so you want the bike repaired no matter the cost, why should you lose out, your victim here........... Just my two pence worth

[rembrandt]

Becky it will be harder to sell and it also depends on what write off catagory they class it in , buying it back can be a mine feild you would have to surrender the v5c then repair it , get it checked by vosa to make sure its the same bike then reapply for the log book and get it moted, its a long winded to try and stop cars and bikes being ringed etc if they wont repair or do money in lou of repair I would walk away it would be easier but , I would try and get it repaired if thats what you want dont back down it wasnt your fault remember fight it all the way

[stu600cc]

all depends wat catergory its written of in as the swing arm bust they sell for parts only. I hope you have been to the doctors with bed neck pains etc. Your leathers, boots and lid where damanged yes! Sue that bitch!!!:shooter

waht the point in saying taxi drivers you ****

waht the point in saying taxi drivers you ****

Its called freedom of speech, and I used my right to speak freely :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

[auroredj]

what the point in saying taxi drivers you ****

Watch your mouth Mr :angrypun, he said taxi drivers coz they were both taxi drivers, he didn't say F***ing taxi drivers did he? it's the same when you blokes say got knocked off by a woman driver, you don't see us women taking offence then, do you :headbash

I don't take kindly to people using four letter words when my family are concerned

PS I've corrected your spelling of what for you :grin2 I didn't have time to correct the grammar as well

[Juvenilerider]

ROFL!!!!!!!!

In regular contact is he?

As a matter of fact.... :p

[RaceMeNSee]

food? lol everyone calm down, let the spankings happen then everyone can be friends again!

[MickyGixer]

Ccooorreee food and spankings....:laugh1 .....can I bring me studded paddle?:jumping2

you are quite clearly and ***** anit you mate its like trying to talk to a little kid

[SDM]

OH SORRY FELLA, but I thought that it was ME talking to a KID ;)

[The Guvnor]

waht the point in saying taxi drivers you ****

Drew......I think you should think before you rite things like that ! Weve been down this road before. Everyone has there own opinion on drivers and just cos someone puts TAXI drivers in a post dont mean you can chuck a personal insult ! Not only that........if you read the post properly all SDM was pointing out was that the two accidents involved TAXI DRIVERS ! That was a fact........not an insult !
If you want to make enemys then go ahead....but personaly considering we are all on here for the same reason I think you should stop taking offence to things that obviously arent directed at you (or your dad!!!!!)
One day you might insult the wrong person !:rolleyes:

[FasterThanU]

now now whats going on here then...

ok its a 3 round bout any thing goes (apart from fish hooking. Jon) ill be the ref and then take on who ever wins sounds fair to me. lets do it!!!!!

[becky]

****ing hell...........go start ur own bloody thread

[Juvenilerider]

You had any good news yet, Becky?

[becky]

na not yet. the engineer is coming to have a look at it tommoro. so i could hear sometime this week.....fingers crossed..:)

[Juvenilerider]

They're crossed. So you going to Claim for your lid and that?

[gixer400]

i would. juice them. say the diamonds fell out of your mushrooms.

[becky]

na im not claiming for anything else, my lid isnt even scuffed, and i like my lid its cool :D

[Juvenilerider]

ha. That's alright then. Long as it ain't damaged!

[The Guvnor]

na im not claiming for anything else, my lid isnt even scuffed, and i like my lid its cool :D

I would claim for a new lid and leathers !! Just get an old one and drop it ! Claim as much as you can :clap

[Juvenilerider]

You can't be too safe with lids, they can't really prove you didn't hit ya head can they?? Or can they

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

sorry it just seem pointless to say they were cabies any way back to realtiy

sorry if i ofened anyone

[becky]

im not gonna claim for anything else, my bikes close to a write off any ways, i dont wanna add more money to it.

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

did the swigarm get damaged?

[becky]

did the swigarm get damaged?

no it didnt......i dont think it will get written off, because its easily fixed, THEY DONT NO WHAT THERE TALKING ABOUT :D

[EverSoSlightlyFasterThanU]

i hope it doesnt get writen off but if it does you can pay off the loan and get an 06 one and show us all uo or better still ge the new k6

[SDM]

i hope it doesnt get writen off but if it does you can pay off the loan and get an 06 one and show us all uo or better still ge the new k6

Now that's a plan.................K6 suits you miss............ :rockon :rockon

[becky]

does rossi ride a suzuki? no he dosnt!!!! lol

[Juvenilerider]

haha!

[SDM]

does rossi ride a suzuki? no he dosnt!!!! lol

So its a ferrari next then...............:laugh1 :laugh1 :laugh1

[becky]

well the bike is costing about 1700 so they should fix it...wahooo.

i also got a phone call from the other drivers insurance company and they have sent me a cheque for £200 quid, compensation apparently, but im ringing up my soliciters tommoro, coz i could get more money out of them, we'll see. the lady who spoke to me said i understand that our party is at fault, but when i told my dad that they are sending me a cheque he rang them back and spoke to another lady who says that no one has claimed liability yet as we havnt received the lady's claim form.....so its all a bit wierd.

[Juvenilerider]

that's good news.

Chances are the second person was a mong, or couldn't be arsed to look properly.

If they've said it once, and it's recorded on the phone it'll be hard for them to go back on it.

[harriebird]

well i'll still keep everything crossed, its such a pain in the arse to sort it all out. which is stupid considering there you were, minding your own business and some stupid person couldn't be arsed to pay attention and is now causing you all manner of grief. :shooter

good luck xxx

[DoodleBug]

Bloody hell Bex, glad your OK. Switched on my 'puter after just getting in after our holiday to find this. If bad luck was pennies, you'd be loaded. :(

[becky]

bridge street motorcycles in witham

OOH dear.......hope you get it back when they say and it works OK afterwards.

I've had bad experiences with them, and would never go back.

Had a complete engine strip and rebuild due to a bearing failing, under warranty on my Sons moped, they had it SIX WEEKS, and it sounded like crap when it came back, defo not right, but I wasn't going to take it back 'cos I didn't want themm to have it another six weeks, I put it in somewhere else and paid, even though it was under warranty, and the generator was loose on the end of the crankshaft and a week later the clutch baket came loose on the other end of the crankshaft...............tw@ts! Then a couple of weeks after that another bearing went........bl88dy cheapskates replaced one crank bearing but not the other GGGRRRR, makes my blood boil thinking about it.

[Juvenilerider]
