Confessions from the fuckwits

Yep, will get it checked tomorrow when they're quoting on the front repairs. Gotta wait for the insurer to track down the tow drivers details before I can get it done, otherwise I risk copping the excess.

Was it a signwritten truck like the dodgy ass "Cameltow" ones that hang around Orrong road / Leach highway or one of those stealthy black ones that seem to be popular now.

It was from a company, not a solo operator. Not sure how big a company is.

None of that should worry you too much, it's the insurer's problem. But maybe don't park on the street for a few days. Did you snap a photo of the truck driver? Witnesses? They'll squirm...

Have a witness and photo of driver. Insurer reckons I cop the excess unless a driver is identified, not sure if that is right but wouldn't have thought it'd be an issue with it being a company vehicle.

Can't imagine the tow company making a thing of it with the states biggest insurer and road side assist provider.

Is this the orange bike thread? Or the dropper all the way up thread? Or the logo alignment Thread? Or the yellow logo thread?

I think I’ve committed some kind of crime, but can’t put my finger on exactly what.

The only one you haven’t is Hope hubs...but they’re orange...so you still have to perform community work.

Of all people, I thought @moorey would approve. It is after all an orange, single, Pivot.

Most states have laws that if you're in a collision it's an offence not to provide your name and address to the other driver / owner if there's property damaged.

Ring the tow company, tell them you're going to the cops if they don't cough up the ID of the driver. They should play nice after that...

I line my tyre logos up with the rim logos otherwise I have logos all over the place....is this acceptable or do I need to remove the tyre and line up with tyre valve?

Definitely law - up to $1500 fine and 12month suspension. If the cops bother investigating. Was deliberately rammed on the freeway at 100kmh about 15 years ago and they never did anything about that one even with the licence plate.

I've reported to cops and made an insurance claim.

Remove. Refit backwards. Swear. Refit skew wif. Have a beer.

No spilling sealant or tyre not seating so you give up and use a tube. Fitting tyres on bikes is hard. Is there any You Tube videos to show me how?

You should remove the rim logos because rim logos are ugly AF. Sorry, it's the rules.

Surely I don't need to micro manage?
