I know the difference between 125 and R6 and R1 for example... But Is a bike safe by the size of the tyres ??? I don't ride a bike yet, I am learning. I have however driven a car for 20 years + On the bike I am afraid of skidding off the road LOL so I was wondering if the tyres are bigger does it hold the road better

Oh it was not the experience thing it was seeing his mate cut across him to avoid the stopped car, my son brakes hard and my poor boy hitting the tarmac ! Yes the money thing is a big thing too . He is saving already lol. And already looking for a 2nd job to do around college As for me I am liking the Fazer right now. Not sure what my old ladies will say when they see their local nurse in leathers on a bike !!!

NOW I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE FOOTAGE OF THE CARSH, NOT SURE I WANT HIM IN BIKE EVER AGAIN : ( THANK GOD SOMEONE HAD HELMET CAM

Told I had no bike Exp...i just sat looked up all bikes bit silly Ah getting an R6...He can have a moped instead like he did when he turned 16 lol....

I love that bike..... Maybe I should start riding.

Waha i love it

My son is doing his Bike theory next week. he says he will then be doing a mod 1 and 2 and will get better bike he already has some cash saved (I never knew that lol) he wants an R6 says they stop better !!! he will say anything to keep me quiet

We will get another Yamaha ! But not from West London Yam... This morning I called him up. Said I was sending a lorry to collect bike, he asked How much that costing? I told him about ebay...He said hold the line, came back and said , To help you out come and a get a cheque for £ 600 I took it...was getting to the point where the bike was causing me a lot of stress !................... But won't ever go to that store again !

Hi all. Thanks again for the help. After a long chat with my Lad he decided that selling the bike was best. He felt it would not be the same riding it after the way things had happened. He would feel bad because his mates bike is beyond repair ! However the bike sold for 720.00 on ebay. I just hope it goes without any Drama as I'm not a fan of selling things... My son is going to start again on a new bike, he is getting a second job and going to start riding again soon (Im not too happy) This time i will go fully comp and we will both put it down as a learning curve & experience but he is actually a very good rider its just some of the car and lorry drivers LOL....He now has an Audi phobia thank god I drive a ford fiesta.

Thanks guys x

forks were not bent or twisted so thats a good start ! I am planning to now get the bike brought back home tomorrow as long as i can find a recovery company to do it.... You have all been magic, and have helped me so much Thanks everyone xx

Thanks Dirty XXX

thanks

You are really helpful Thank you so much......

The accident was... A Jeep was turning right off an A road, The large lorry in behind slammed on his breaks, The audi behind the lorry did the same, son;s mate swerved to miss Audi hitting an on coming car, he was thrown back into lane he was in, My son then threw the bike away from him to avoid Audi and Mate and ended up under the Audi with his body....My son was the last to crash, They have it all on Video too as they were blogging. Anyway police told me on the phone as no one was badly injured its not recorded. Even tho paramedics came too. Because everyone walked away from it case close as far as police concerned. My insurer said just cancel policy as there is no claim to be had unless the Audi wants to claim from my son. She said she does not want to claim she glad he alive and her car was only a small dent, and a punctured tyre.

Hiya Its 3rd Party Insurance, Dealer said Bike is fixable, I just can't afford to do it. so he offered me the £200 . Its all the front . light speedo Too be fair I only glimpse at the bike, I was more concern about my son when the recovery guy dropped off at the dealer. They just wheeled it in and said its about 1,500 to fix without touching the domestic stuff like farrings. I do have a picture of it if that helps . I bought the bike outright so No Finance on it. Yes I am happy my Boy is ok... only bruising . He was in a concertina accident and jumped off the bike pushing it away so it didn't hit anything. Or his mate who crashed first . There is No claim on the insurance, they said they couldn't help with fixing the bike up and just cancel insurance

Thanks Dirty DT...

Thanks.your reply is good news . I have not slept all night because of this. I feel I am being ripped off, dealer knows I am a single Mum doing a nursing Job he see's me coming lol..... He was happy to take my saved up hard earned cash for the bike, now does not want to bend a help a little. He knows the crash was not my son's fault too. and he knows he is only 3rd Party.

Hi All, I am no biker ! But my son who is 17 is... well was up until yesterday. In April I bought him a 2012 125 yzf R something ! Anyway yesterday he crashed it but only on tarmac and was not too badly hurt thank god. Its going to cost me 1500 just to get the bike rideable with out having the cosmetic stuff done. Dealership is offering me 200.00 scrap its only done 6000 miles and I paid cash for it 4,300 4 months ago. I can't afford to fix it . What do I do Oh and its only 3rd party insurance...the bile is not under any claims or finance Thanks Jen I feel that 200.00 dealer is ripping me off can you advise me please ? http://www.ebay.co.u...9#ht_500wt_1413 Like This Quote MultiQuote Edit
