smashed me new bike on monday. bloody diesel. Depending on her condition, i haven't seen her yet, I may be on the lookout for/selling parts. With any luck it'll be the former. I can't even ride the missus' bike for at least a month either coz I need time to heel. If this 'as happened to anyone else drop us a note coz i'm a bitted urked at the mo, despite havin' some well cool scars.

Just talk to Mitch mate, he totalled his recently and has been waiting for ages to receive insurance pay out. It's not all bad though, it has enabled him to customise his bike using the insurance money and have something really nice on the road. Luckily the engine was unharmed and he's just modifying the frame. Should be ready soon so there is some good to come out of it.
Diesel is a swine though, I've nearly come off loads of times on it!!! Hope you are ok though and get another bike on the road soon dude!!!! ;)

Mitch says the insurance company told him his bike is worth just over a grand including salvage value (£1250 - £200 for salvage as he kept the bike) That's more than he paid for it wahey!!!!!! Should pay for the customisation ....easy!

unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover me 4 a noones fault accident.
I'm ok - cracked shoulderblade, chip in wrist an' a few scrapes along with a big hole in me wrist. The speed i was goin' i feel pretty indestructable.

Aye, diesel got me about a year ago - front end washed out so quick I ended up on the side of the bike... just before I rammed the back of a van :(
That'll teach me to ride sensibly - never again - if I'd been riding 'normally' (ie like a knob) I'd have been on the white lines, not the diesel!! :rolleyes:
