My mate has a CBR 600 ( dont ask,its really not this fault lol)
He was on his way home from work last night , goin up the road doing 23 mph ,
taxi driver pulled out in front of him .
he smashed into the drivers door and threw him over the taxi to other side of road !
Bike complete write off , (he is fine today ,few grazes, just a bit stiff)
anyway , police turned up taxi driver said "I did not see him" " i thought i had time to pull out".
surely one or the other .....

Can he claim for injuries ? :dunno
i told him to get to the hospital today !!
if it was me i wudda wanted ambulance there and then , and took the taxi driver to the ****** cleaners !!!!
why the *** do they think they OWN THE ROAD :banghead
my mate only been riding 12 months , knocked his confidence loads.
At least when his money comes thru he may get a tuono :lol
tosspot taxi drivers, i hate em more than anything else on the roads .
 
Glad he's ok. BUT he could be dead, get the ****** taxi **** strung up by his bollocks and empty his pockets or the insurers pockets for everything he can.
Should make everyone ride a scooter for 12 months before theyr'e allowed behind the wheels of a car. Might actually learn a bit.
Tell him to use 'Sorry mate' and keep us informed. Nice to know if they can walk the talk.
 
Taxi driver has admited it by saying " I did NOT see him ". Remember the phrase and when in court it should be used in the prosecution part.
Always be definate and never say I think or you could loose the case.
 
I had a taxi driver nearly hit me (thank **** for Brembos!!) and when I actually got him to pull over, the black as the ace of spades can barely speak Engish ******* says to my face, "Well. I didn't hit you did I?". He sped off when I got off the bike to punch his ******* lights out...
 
i will keep u all informed , he just rang me, hes a bit pissed off he has no bike , but i told him its winter anyway , if there is a good time to be off a bike...its now.
yeah the taxi guy has owned up to full responsibilty too, police have his statement.
#his bike has been took to a place called ESB in bolton, they will write it off....
 
You can get cream for that you know. :crazy hehe




ouch

As long as the Suzuki is a TLS, he'll be ok...




If it's a Gixxer, we have to drown him or perform an intervention...
 
my mates seriously pissed off today..
he phoned in sick (we work together) ..so i went to visit him .
He is in loads of pain,can hardly move .
he is just really stiff all over , very muscular due to the flying thru the air and landin at a unnatural speed.
...feel sorry for him :thumbdown
