Christ it was only a minor spill really wasnt it, not as if you stuck it into a wall or anything :(

So would that be a write off???? surely not :(

Worst case scenario is you get a very good looking and cheap track bike

Best you get it touch with the old bill and talk about a prosecution hun, she can play it down to the insurance if you chose not too....might be costly...just an idea...:grin2

thats a very fair point.... new bike and the old one back as a track toy...

if the bike is written off, hopefully the bike will be a cat C or D, but if its a frame job it'll likely be a C :(.. parts and labour and all that


[slightly off topic]
to build a gsxr600 by purchasing the whole bike as spare would cost roughly £30,000

OH err, but she must pay....

What did the Police have to say at the scene, did they say it was her fault?

Its got to be her fault she cut across your lane didn't she?
