Recovery and repair estimate

Hi all,

After brilliant ride on Wednesday I had a less pleasurable ride back home.

Silver Mercedes puls out from gas station - it was dark - I go around it and hit dark kerb on the reservation area :'( :'( :'(

Walking is a bit of a pain right now :-[, but nothing broken.


Back to subject.
Bike is located on A346 in a small village of Chiseldon just before M4 and Swindon.
Engine casing is broken and no oil to ride it. Other bits are missing too.

I need some recovery as I managed to use some friendly resident to park my bike.
At the same time I need insurance estimate and later repairs.

I am trying to contact local bike repair, as it is very close to where I live.

Any advise welcomed.

Thanks all and see you on the road soon I hope.

Oh no bud, that's not good news. Seems to be a lot of this going on right now :(

Sorry to hear this.

If it's an insurance job, make sure you speak to them asap and get advice from them. You're supposed to report incidents immediately otherwise it could invalidate your insurance. Only DIY recovery & repairs etc if insurer says to or refuses cover.

Good luck with it.

Hope your ok fella. I also hope that you get sorted with the bike. :(

You have no breakdown cover I take it?

Have you informed your insurance people? They may be able to help get the bike back home, shouldnt be a problem if you have comprehensive cover? Give them a call, say you were in a state of shock if they question the delay ;)

I have only Third Party Fire & Theft
Also have LLoyds cover - but they say recovery is not included, and if for repairs they will take it only to the closest garage :(

I am going forward with my local garage than.

I am still in a shock as by faces on side :o :( >:( :'( :-[ :-X :-/ :-?

Thanks

There are recovery references on this site.
Hopefully they will be in touch once they are aware that you need assistance.
At least you live to tell the tale. Good to know you are OK :)

Have you managed to get this home / to the garage yet?

Did the Merc driver stop? If he caused the accident, he (or his insurance) should be paying for it...

Can you get hold of a cover & oil & ride it home? Keep an eye out on ebay, etc...
