Sadly not, as the title might suggest, me picking up a shiny new tuono.
Insurance assessors picked up my 2008 R after an altercation with a dozy bint who pulled a U turn on me as I was filtering past stationary traffic.
Im ok, bike has road rash all down one side - aargh!
On the positive side, it was a low speed spill, so bike looks repairable, on the negative side the @rse is contesting the claim, saying I shouldnt have been filtering on the chevrons.
Looking at the highway code, I *think* as long as the chevron boundary is broken white lines (which they were) and not solid, I should be ok - anyone had any similar experiences?
In either case, Im unlikely to get the bike back for a few months, so thats this summer done for me.
Oh, and of course, she was driving a Mercedes....
