Oh Deer (Sorry)

I hope you are both OK, that's all that matters. The bike can be fixed.

Jeez, sorry to hear that. At least you both survived. The bones can heal and Jack will have something to show off to the girls at school. He will be very popular lad, Jack will

OUCH.

We'll have to open a ward for collar bones casualties, that'll be you and earthcore. I bet the ribs hurt the most.

It explains why we didn't see you on Sunday.

We'll see you soon I hope.

You like quoting yourself it seems. Probably a side effect of the medication

ProfG · « **Reply #7 on:** May 17, 2016, 20:48:09 »

I was right

seriously though, an opportunist here that misses an opportunity. Can I have your MTC can?

Hope you recover quickly

You're a complete bunch of utter bastards.

nightrider · « **Reply #9 on:** May 17, 2016, 20:54:25 »

Thanks for the kind replies

Does anybody know if insurance covers accessories?

ProfG · « **Reply #10 on:** May 17, 2016, 20:58:41 »

Normally I'd say they would if you had declared them

MartinW · « **Reply #11 on:** May 17, 2016, 21:06:52 »

+1 - If you declared them in advance, then yes.

nightrider · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2016, 21:12:44 »

I didn't

ProfG · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2016, 21:15:13 »

Judging by the photos and not having seen the damage properly, I'd suggest you do it yourself and not go through the insurance company. They seem to be fairly easy fixes. If you claim through your insurance you will find that inevitably your premiums will rise more than normal and some insurance companies might not want to insure you when the insurance is due.

More importantly, it will be classed as an insurance job and you might have trouble selling it.

Just something to think about.

Since you didn't declare them then you will have a tough time getting anything from the insurance people.

Get well soon

nightrider · « **Reply #15 on:** May 17, 2016, 22:13:16 »

It's going to take about six weeks or so before I'm fit to ride again.That gives me plenty of time to think things through.I was only doing 60 mph on a quiet A road the deer ran straight across the road out of the hedges.It was horrid.I had just got the bike set up the way I wanted it as well

Hope you both get well soon.

Sorry to read about your brush with bambi. Get well soon mate. A plate of cheesy beans on toast will stick to your ribs...!

obalanga · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2016, 00:14:29 »

lucky escape. Hope you get better. If I'm not being too unsympathetic, how much in your estimation did the crash bars protect the bike's soft parts? could they have done better?

Dozz · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2016, 00:22:37 »

Hope the young lad doesn't get put off bikes and all 3 have a quick recovery
You heard about deer whistles, stick it on front of bike, deer hear it and stand still? We don't hear it, about £3
