Just come off and dropped bike. Filtering down A13, some twat pulls out in front of me and I lock the bike up. I'm alright, just bruise ankle and bit shook up.
Bike doesn't look great, but it'll be off the road for a little while. Bent, cracked fairing (again), dangling mirror, mangled belly pan (again), givi rack bent, plate bust top box gone flying, exhaust popped off (again), indicator lens lost (again).
Just debating whether to take it through insurance. His car has small dent in rear wing (no paint lost though). Don't think I'll get much due to filtering, plus my outstanding claim (which I've now won court case on and got judgement served in my favour), for previous damage will limit what I'll get back. What do you reckon? Cut my losses, pay chap off, do bike up cheap, wait for other payout, try save my no claims etc.
