Sorry to say but I have become the latest victim of fazer down.
Waiting in the traffic queue on Bristol bridge in Bristolnfor the lights to change about six cars back from the red light and crunch I am sent up in the air five foot and my mint fazer 2002 foxeye is lying in the road like a dying fly.
Anyway after five minutes of claiming myself down I managed to get my Fazer to the side of the road not wanting to look at the damage as it would break my heart with my right leg and my back very sore.
I exchanged details with said woman driver who didn't want to join the smidsy club but told me she had missed the brake pedal which I already knew as it was my Fazer that stopped her car,
24 hours later I am still sore but I have had her insurance company contact me an authorise me to get the bike repaired up to 75% of the agree value which is £1750.
The really good news is that I rode the bike home and had a look round it and because the engine bars took the biggest smack I think it can be repaired with a new rear mudguard rear footrest and a maybe a fairing as it is scratched but it is only a chip the size of a five pence so if it means not writing bike off I will happily use some touch up paint.It will also need a new silencer but I got one so will fit that
I was very unlucky to get hit but my bike will live to ride again. Now just a case of rubbing in deep heat for the rider
