Had an accident last night, I was taking some blood samples from work to the local hospital on my way home.


Anyway...


I was filtering past standing traffic and went round a bus (on its right in the middle of the road) doing 10/15 mph, as I cleared the front a (bi)cyclist appeared to my left from between the bus and a car. There was another bus coming down the other side of the road and I didn't have the room to go round him. So I didn't hurt him I just about managed to glance off his side. I've lost the front end doing this and hit the deck. His cycle has hit the car we were next to.


The outcome is that the car has a crease in the wing from the cycle hitting it (I never touched the car), the cycle itself has a buckled front wheel and my bike has lost a load of paint of the fairing and snapped the infill panel on the right. Couple of marks here and there but nowt serious. Cyclist not hurt, I have bumps scrapes and a broken right wrist.


Both the other guys were dead on and cool with me, the police saw me in the hospital and said as far as they were concerned there was nothing that suggested driving without due care ect.




Now I guess my question is this -- If anything insurance wise comes out of this what could the possible outcomes?


Any ideas guys??


Cheers

Ey up,


I have a Blue gen 1 thou.


I like the look of wheel stripes, rim tape whatever you want to call it.


Couple of months ago I bought some white reflective tape in an applicator. I tried for a good while but couldn't use the damn thing then basically saw my @rse and screwed it up and chucked it in the bin!


Any hints tips experiences to help me have another go at doing this?


I've seen the curved ones but am I just gonna get mad again?!?!


It was that bad I'd bloody pay for someone to do it!!

Evening all, not long got myself a 2003 thou.


Nice tidy bike (26500 miles) (blue). Vario screen and hugger on it. Nowt else. Don't have a sale price as I swapped it for another bike (£2300 ish)


So far I've changed the indicator lenses to clear and the can for a cheap china special off evilbay. (the square/tri shape danmoto one).


758s, oberon s/s bar ends and oxford sport grips to go on soon.


Love the bike to ride, first 4cyl I've had.


Read a load off the old forum site and learnt loads so far. Hope to learn a lot more too!


See you all out there!
