I bought a brand new BMW C400GT last week and 24 hours later a numpty reversed into my bike tyre causing it to topple over on a raised pavement - I was present when it happend. Result was damage to entire left side. Arranged to have it collected from home to take to my local BMW dealer - that's been done. Being assessed by BMW tomorrow and hoping the claim won't take too long - numpty has admitted liability and I have this in writing so I am REALLY hoping it will be straight forward and I can get it back quickly ........... I was so very upset and angry but at least the muppet owned up and I'm not having to claim (directly at least) through my insurance company. I have a loan bike - a crappy little Honda Forza 350 but I guess I'm still mobile!
