Down and out.....

[EDIT]: just to point out i have not chased anyone the car had got held up in traffic anout 3miles from when i first saw him by wich time i had past the 4 vechials. Also this post was made in a very bad state both physically and mentally.

[Original] Right weather yesterday was lovely so decided to go for a bumble, so driving towards Macc on Chelford road I see a Silver Subaru Speeding like mad and taking ridiculous overtakes and endangering everyone that he passes. So i caught up with him when he got caught in traffic and had a look through the rear window to have a look who was inside and what the f*ck was going on.
The guy looked at me and then looked back down, his speed up a little and the looked back at me and tried to "stare me out" sort of thing before slaming on to a stop.
By the time i had relised he had stopped i was flying over his car after smashing into the back of the pretty Subaru Impretza.

Im lay on the ground screaming for my life and i just hear an almighty screach i look over and he's booted it and diissapeared!!! Fucking bellened!!!!!!!!

Witnesses pull over and assist with police ambulance etc
We were then told that the car that hit me had just 5 mins ago been stolen from down the road.
The police eventually find the car and the guy although he had ran off and hid.

He was well over the limit and an absolut fucking arse hole!

So bike/gear is a write off (as well as the subaru) and i have came off very very lightly with just a broken thumb and a massively brusied and painful back/leg.

Will be speaking to police today to give an official statement. They say the only thing that may cause problems is proving he was in the car but i have reassured them that i will remember that twats face and would be able to point him out.

So need new bike and helmet fairly quickly about £1.5k for the bike any ideas?

The insurence side of this is abit shite however I may claim off the owner of the car or through the MIB wich is a loooooooooong process.

Pic of bike taken by paramedic for me, Looks to be fairings, casings, tank, can, fender and all the usual bits too

With age comes experience and you'll soon learn just to leave idiots like that well alone.
We've all been in situations like this and best advice to give is pull over and let the idiots go while you calm down.

 

sh*t!!!!!!

Mate unless you need a bike to commute don't rush in, first things first pick up the phone now and ring sorry mate in warrington they will do everything for you
0800 630 0301

I'm texting all the details now

 

yeh sh*t luck m8. paul is right though... you see idiots on the road every ride, as you know by now.
best thing to do is put some distance between you & them, either by overtaking when its safe or by pulling over.
thank fk you're ok m8 and mrs wasnt on the back.
very often in situations like this the pillion comes off worse.

might do you a deal on the firestorm (and a lid!) if you fancy using this as an upgrade opportunity?
insurance probably isnt much different and better performance etc.... i need to make room for a new addition shortly

 

Wisdom did you good then !

I find every story I read about clowns on bikes racing cars so dumb your very lucky to still be alive !


Very lucky pal your not in a bad way the car could've ran u over !

Why would you be half interested about any car on the road what it was doing best bet if your so concerned just try and get the reg and report it !

So after all your good intentions your a bike down
Live and learn

 

I'd just like to point out I was a good 2 1/2 car lengths away when he slammed on and the skid marks are huge. I was being noise not trying to be some kind of spy.
I find it alittle upsetting that some of you guys are practically saying its my fault. f*ck me either your just grumpy bastards or you haven't read the post properly...

 

Get a grip fella and take on board what some of the more experienced riders are saying; the message is you're lucky to get away with your life. Next time just leave the idiots well alone. Lesson learnt me thinks?

 

could end up one of them shared liability things this tbh.... be a fkin pain if it does.
no-one's having a pop at you elliot, just showing concern thats all, sh*t happens m8, it's happened to most of us.
easy to criticise after the event but spur of the moment, how many of us have revved up to shake a fist or punch a mirror.... all it takes is for an irate driver to twitch the wheel or slam on and you're off.
jees ive had loads of close ones meself.

regarding braking distances... most decent bikes with good tyres on dry roads will stop from 30mph in 30ft, but like you say. if a car does jam on deliberately, take off a 0.4second reaction time and you're close to a hit!
never actually backended a car meself on a bike but fk ive come close a few times and ended up sideways and stuff!

chin up m8. :cheers:

 

My attitude?
Thing is you've caused an accident by ramming into the back of another car and you've admitted it on an open forum.

If you're gonna carry on like this you'll be getting no sympathy from anyone.
I suggest you take a deep breath and count to ten (or wait until your balls have dropped) before spouting your mouth off.

Think, look, listen has never been more appropriate.

 

I'm not little, I'm quite rotund! Ha ha ha
Tell ya what, come down to mmc and have a breakfast and tell me what a prick I am.

Tried to give you helpful advice about pulling over etc, but I can see you're not going to take anything onboard.

 

Bet you get far with childish behaviour. Nice one.

 

Don't think anyone is name calling here except for Elliot.
True words Lee, deep breath and count to ten.

 

Calm down, Calm down, Sorry about your Off, and glad your Ok, Think VVTR said it all, but 'there for the grace of god' i think, cont'd

 

Sorry some of the others not so Sympathetic, particulaly Antzx6r, mustn't have had there happy pills, Hope all gets sorted. Chin up.

 

I'll take a hug Jim
