    "Shit happens everyday"! Nice response.

    well, I hope he gets shafted good style, and you go for the jugular insurance wise. Claim for everything.

    Van driver sounds like a right tw@t. Make sure you take him and his insurance to the cleaners. Hopefully the rise in his premiums will make him a bit more considerate. Hope you and the bike make a full recovery!

    "Shit happens everyday" ! I'd have said that back to him after i American History X'd his teeth on the curb !! :mad:
    Every cloud has a silver lining, at least it wasn't a Blade ;)
    Remember, for the insurance company: Whiplash, internal bruising, inability to work, bike (written off), custom made leathers (trashed), Carbon helmet (finished), Boots, gloves, underwear... Fear and mentally effected going near roads and vehicles.. Depression, due to previously mentioned fear..Crumbling relationship with everyone and reclusiveness from the depression etc etc :D
    Play it right and it could be well worth all the pain ;)
    Get well soon mate...

    Utter rubbish :( wishing you a fast recovery and a painless as possible dealing with insurance. Did the police attend? Many witnesses come forward? It was my witnesses statements that won me my case a few years back!

    GWS matey. Was it a plain van or was it logo'd. If it was a "big" company don't be afraid to make a complaint about his attitude to the MD/CEO via email.
