Hiya fellas,
Had my first collision in over 25yrs today. Polish van driver in a Mercedes box van pulled straight out in front, grabbed a handful, locked the front, stuck my left leg down and slammed into his wing on full left lock (bike stayed up). The right hand side of my fairing is buggered and also looks out of kilter - can only get one finger between front brake and fairing on full lock whilst a good four fingers between clutch and fairing on full lock.
Need to find a place for a repair quote nearish by (or in London as working there) so any recommendations welcome. Driver works for a Polish transport company but all good - have witnesses, insurance details, pics, reg etc. The owner wants a chance at a cash deal and have discussed with my insurance company who have logged it for now just to cover all angles.
As said, all recommendations welcome. Couple of pics below of his front wing - thought Mercs were supposed to be tough but maybe a Fazer fairing plus me at 6'4" and 18 stone is better
