I had a brief chat with a solicitor. In short they said as the claim isn't for injuries it wouldn't be cost effective to use them but did say something similar A. The drivers version of events doesn't seem as credible due to the damageB. I didn't fall off which supports me either not moving or at least moving very slowlyC. There should be a greater responsability on the car driver to ensure that the main road is clear of other traffic then there is for a vehicle on the main road to allow for traffic crossing give way lines. They did say it was unlikely I'd get 100% but I wonder if I can swing this a bit more in my favour
Something like this you gotta step back and think 'what if this happened to a cyclist, would it unquestionably be the car drivers fault or would they point blame to the cyclist!?'So why think differently about a motorbike???

Good news! I hope you get 100%
Given the fairly low cost involved I'm expecting to pay any costs to avoid loosing no claims
I am amazed at this ! to me its clear cut 100% their fault
it comes down to who can afford the better legal team unfortunately as much as it pains me I do feel your right
