Moderator drewpy Posted July 6, 2013 Moderator Posted July 6, 2013 Oh dear mate. At least your here to talk about it. come on, somebody must know her
wild foamy Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 i'll keep an eye out in/around the cosford/wolves area bud
slice Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Sorry to hear that mate, hope your not to banged up and the driver gets a rocket up her arse, trouble is probably has no insurance so would not stop even if you were dead (which your not more by luck than judgement) can't help you out with a bike for your DAS but hope you get something sorted by Monday.
Prichard XT Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 yerp im alive and sore as fuck, luckily iv got a lot of experience over 3 1/2 years 45000 miles and new how to leave the bike when in danger as safely as posible I payed upfront for all costs of the lisence bike comes included cheers though any info will be of help well a friend just told me of some one over wednesfield wolvo same description and was driving like a dick almost force his car with his kids in off the road
pilninggas Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Worth contacting the local press, might provide a lead. Hope you feel better soon.
Prichard XT Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 iv used a local spotted facebook page with over 3000 likes had a few responces no leads though
wild foamy Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 plaster it everywhere you can bud, local church bulletin board, newspapers, ring around local garages to see if they have had a vehicle matching that description with the damage you describe in for bodywork, someone will rat them out.
Prichard XT Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 hopefully insurance will pay out if so new bike
Ttaskmaster Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Best wishes for a speedy recovery and hope to find you back in the saddle soon, fella. These things happen to some of us occasionally I'm afraid. Part of the lifestyle. But while bikes can be fixed or replaced, you can't so it's good that you're still here to tell the tale. Don't let it get you down too much. 45,000 is a pretty serious mileage, especially on a 125, so you're clearly doing something right. People who drive like prick-features will eventually come a'cropper one way or the other, so keep posting his description it and you'll either get him in the end or find him upside-down in a hedge where he belongs. Meanwhile, if you go ahead on the DAS, I wish you every success and many more decades of trouble-free riding!!
Prichard XT Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 I had spend a fair bit on it but even just in service parts I have just been buying all the parts for an engine swap now that's gone t waste read though my insurense the bike value is 1200 and my excess is 950 on a TPFT but luckily I whent with MCE and they do excess cover on non fault claims so MCE will only give me 250 pay out and I will have to wait up to 6 months to receive the 950 excess that MCE take off the value gutted I would fix it in a few days but the engine does not sound good which could get expencive and ignitions fucked key doesn't work so I wouldn't leave it any where other than locked up might start looking for a new bike soon Whats an equal in Yam land to a Kawasaki ZX4 (90s)
slice Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I have a SUZUKI GSF 400 (I think it's that?) if your interested!!!!! Just got it going today believe it or not and will get it MOTd sometime this week. Just a thought!!
Sacha Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Glad you're okay! Here's hoping the caged gets what's coming.
Prichard XT Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 thing is I don't want to change from Yamaha they are reliable engines in my experience just need looking after but ill try anything let me know im getting on the phone to insurance in the morning and got it booked in at my local Yam dealer for accident repair estimate if its a write off (worst case) I wil look in to buying it back for a reduced price and crack on with 250ing it
gizmo666 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 good luck on finding the twat but as was said contact local garages and give them the details you never know you might get them yet
wild foamy Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 dont let the fecker get away, start yourself a facebook page aswell 1
Prichard XT Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 eh im a very busy man I work full time and am a full time carer for me missus and trying to start a business but iv got the solicitor on case to get me paid out even if its just for me gear and injurys and loss of work iv bodged the xt so it runs just got to fit indi's and new bars which il fix tomoro should do for now im making sure im on the road as much as I can ill I find the corsa problem is im chasing around every blacked out black corsa to check for damage fuck no's what these drivers think looking back
slice Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Just a thought but are there no traffic cameras where this happened? Or even in the direction she buggered off to, might be worth a trip down the same road to see if perhaps someone has a camera in their shop that might have got her on video!!
Prichard XT Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 police went straight to highways control room and only got it driving off couldn't get a plate
