Just over a year since my last non-fault accident, I had another one last week.
Standing still at a T-junction wanting to turn right onto a major road, a car on the main from my left wanted to turn right into the minor road I was coming out of.
He cut the corner and ploughed into me. He was doing about 10 mph and I was thrown backwards. A little battered and shocked, I got up in some discomfort and managed to get the bike to safety with some assistance.
I could not ride and thus called BMW warranty. The collected and took it to a dealer for inspection and offered a courtesy car. This is of no use as I use the bike for commuting and I do not want to drive into the city due to time and parking restrictions.
My question is my insurance is still being processed for my accident last year as 4th dimension (who my loan bike was with were charging ?103/day for a crap CBF1000 which the 3rd party are contesting.
They did mention alst time if I could pay and buy one myself and then claim that back from the 3rd party...... Bahnstormer are saying that the repair work will not be able to be done until 1st week july.... :-(
I do not want to be stuck will a loan bike bill if contested by the 3rd party... cheaper to buy a hack bike and claim back....
Suggestions / advise please?
PS... I have notified my insurance company.
