Saul Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 What a fucking day, just got back from MIU with Shadow. She rear ended a car and went over the handlebars. Badly bruised shoulder and in a bit of shock but fundamentally ok, thank the lord she had all her protective gear on and had luck on her side. I don't know what's up with her at the moment that twice in two days, normally she has been a careful and safe rider but the last couple of days I don't know. Yesterday she hit gravel in the rain so there was mitigation but today she was stone cold 100% to blame. Bike is fixable as is the car she hit but she is going to be off the road for a few weeks at least. All reported and insurance details exchanged so we have to wait and see what happens next. I have had better days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Doesn't sound like you had a good day ... but at least she's ok, If nothing else she should learn from this. Getting a call to say your kid has been involved in an accident must be the worst ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time to strip the valve cover and check out the timing chain definitively but I don't think it's that. I'm not going to touch it until I hear from the insurance people. Don't know if they will want to inspect it or not. EIther way I want to strip the forks and check the headstock before she goes out on it again. They look okay but I want to check them off the bike. . I don't know if they will cancel her insurance after a claim or not. I have told her to be prepare for weeks not days off the road. Give her time to get her head straight. Luckily she can walk to work, will put a crimp on her social life though. Needs new handlebars, levers, indicators and paint. Doable but getting tedious now. Bought her this earlier today bit late I suppose. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183006815366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She knows that but I don't think the gravity of the situation has hit her yet, not sure she will be able to get insurance. Her boyfriend (18) had a smack last year and his premium is £200 a month now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost feel guilty only paying £130 a year for mine….almost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nephew has got his test this month … where he can ride want he wants after … prices are mental for insurance , a 20 year old fire blade is cheaper than a 2 year old Trident 660 and that is still dear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 3 of us old codgers went out today plus Shadow. Run up to North Cornwall, Otterham Station, Slaughter Bridge, Tintagel, Boscastle and Camaford. I managed to save Shadow from being dragged into the Witches Museum, oh and apparently: “I’m not fucking funny at all” according to her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Had some good news for Shadow today, her insurance is not cancelled despite her being at fault for the RTA. Yes she knows the renewal will be painful in October. The parts to fix her bike were £80 so not all the world. She is paying me back next payday. Most will be here for Thursday so she could possibly be back on the road for Friday. Only fly in the ointment is the rear indicator that is coming from a breaker in London, has quoted up to the 19th for delivery but it could come sooner. At least she has some idea when she will be back on the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then hang them at appropriate places on her bike for impact absorption. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SW Motech Crash bars have earned their keep that's for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
