    Well ..first proper ride out after the major service and this happens . A car on roundabout decided to change lanes whilst i was at the side of it .
    Almost definitely a write off due to holed fuel tank, radiator ,engine and a bent frame from what my mate who has the bike in storage tells me.
    Still .i have had the pot removed from my broken leg ,as they say it will either heal up or not ,(smaller bone in leg ) so as long as i can find someone to kick start one of my other bikes for me , i should hopefully be back on soon. IMG_0601.JPG IMG_0596.JPG

    Please don't think I am trying to brag, but may I suggest you look at my profile?

    I deal and specialise in motorcycle crashes and legal advice. I have helped a lot of members from this site in the past, even when it is just advice required, and I hope that I have helped and been of assistance to them.

    If help is required on a professional level, then I am able to assist on that score.

    I am actually guest speaker at a club tonight talking about motorcycle crashes and the litigation process.

    If you do a bit of a search on the site, I actually covered in some detail why I believe that you will get shafted if you use the solicitors appointed by your insurers.

    I always advise people not to bother with legal expenses insurance, you don't really need it, and in some cases, people have several LEI policies anyway.
