Is it bad news? Crash!

[We Make Life A Ride]

Got back ended and rear wheel is no longer in alignment with rest of bike. Would say it is maybe 1-2 inches out. Otherwise little damage.

Hopefully not a write off.

 

[OnHellas]

The age and value of the bike will have something to do with its ‘write off’ status.

 

[Hartley]

Glad you’re ok abermarc

 

[We Make Life A Ride]

Hoping it can be fixed. I'm really not wanting to consider a write off.

 

[We Make Life A Ride]

Wonder if anyone else has had bike in same state.

 

[Santa-2512]

Knowing what bike, model year would be a start ... otherwise its just guessing

I'd say your still in accident mode,

leave it 24hrs and come back and ask the same questions ... you could potentially make a wrong decision ,

which may not go in your favour

70 plates GSA ?

70 plates GSA ?

It is indeed.

In fact both GSA involved. One smashed into back of me.

 

[leadfarmer]

Friendly fucked as the military say

At least it’s only material

 

[Robbi]

Sod the bike, are you OK mate.??

 

[We Make Life A Ride]

Aye. We both ok. Was the mrs that hit me. Car in front did emergency stop to turn into garage, I stopped in time but she didnt.

Fingers crossed it's fixable. It's heading to Motorrad on Monday. Hopefully to give me good news that it just needs new backend!

You could always see if you could use the undamaged bits from both bikes to repair yours and tell her she's got to walk from now on........

Just hoping bikes can be fixed.

Got back ended and rear wheel is no longer in alignment with rest of bike.

Was punted in to the back of a transit at around 30mph - amazingly, the chassis/swing arm wasn't bent.

 

[Pukmeister]

I got lightly rear ended at traffic lights whilst alongside a copper by a myopic twat a Mercedes coupe who couldn’t stop in time. Bike was undamaged, front end of his merc was a mess of shattered plastic.

With an expert witness already on hand, I left them to deal with the mess and rode home.

Bikes can be replaced .. you can't. You ok ??

So can wives!

 

[littleade]

So can wives!

It's far cheaper to change the bike, DAMHIK..........

 

[We Make Life A Ride]

Given a choice. I'd like the bikes to just be fixable. Thanks all for concern.
