Hello to anyone who remembers me from years ago on the old site. After being left in the garage for a few year, I finally got my y-reg Fazer back on the road last December. Have really enjoyed my commute for the last few months, cold weather and all. Until last night! A van reversing into a drive suddenly pulled out in front of me. I wasn't going too fast, and managed to get some braking done before I hit the side of the van head on, so impact wasn't too bad. Apart from some very sore ribs, I'm OK. Bike looks very secondhand and is unrideable, so had to leave it at the roadside. Just learnt that it looks like he had no insurance. Suddenly no-one at Bennetts and their satellite agencies is interested in helping me, because there's no third party insurance to recover against. So all that talk about replacement leathers and helmet, replacement hire bike until mine is sorted... has gone out the window. Can't even get it collected. RAC want £156 plus £1.68 per mile to recover it.
Any ideas how to get the bike home before some scrote helps himself?
Thanks
Jonathan
