Bike is just behind a corner in a local bike garage.
Still waiting for estimate.
Story is that when police came in the Mercedes driver was long gone - so I am a bit fu... and have to DIY my bike as for now. And it looks costly even with ebay :'(:'(
I am trying to catch Swindon Council as policeman told me they are responsible for no light on these island on reservation area.
Fighting council will not be easy and it proves to be difficult so far :-X
Maybe you could check if the gas station has cctv to get reg plate of the Merc.
Got an estimate of full repair on genuine Suzuki parts
£4300
I can't believe it :o :o :o
Only downside is to find rear wheel - fronts are easily accessible.
That is bad news.
The fact that the traffic island wasn't lit must count against the council. When I went to check it on Friday, the bollard was still missing. There was a triangular warning sign, but it was lying face down.
I did not knocked it anyway :)
I have received forms from Swindon Council, so I will see how it will develop. I will post them on Monday.
Rob - have you made any photos by any chance :)
I am hoping to walk by Monday so I will drive there on Sunday - fingers crossed
Let me know if I can do anything to help
I have seen my bike today.
Only front wheel is in need for replacement, both both kept the tire pressure :)
I hope I can squeeze my repair budget under £600.
All this and I will have still a pretty ugly looking bike - no cosmetic work will be done.
First day in office is a pain, can't walk unable to carry stuff uuuufffff, less to do as long weekend is coming.
