Ok, let me first apologies for any kind of swearing or the like, as i am really pissed off right about now.
Ok, im a campbelltownian, living in leumeah. Thought to myself sarvo, lets go for a ride in kentlyn, i got some free time.
So i get my bike n all that shit, heading on leumeah road towards peter meadows on my mounto (07 norco sasquatch), and at the roundabout near the school, theres some dumb shit in her commodore approaching from the left going straight ahead on Junction road towards Ruse. Im doing about 35-40k, and enter the roundabout, and as she is approaching from my left, she aint slowing down, and
***BAM***
hits me on my left side. I fall off on one of my sides, roll about twice and stop on the road. First thing i think "fuckin idiot", second, OH FUCK MY BIKE. I get up and have a look at the damage as she moves forward to quickly park. SEVERELY BUCKLED FRONT WHEEL, my juicy 5 front lever looks like a fukin spiral, rotors bent, back wheel buckled, scratched to the shithouse, broken sun glasses, the whole nine yards. So she stopped, pulled over and gave us a hand moving off the road n shit, gennerally kind, Swapped details and all that crap. After walking 10mins back home, my brother n myself go down the cop shop and report it etc, and they will be speaking to her.
FORTUNATELY, i have no injuries, except for cuts, bruises n a sore hip.
Now, some questions,
1) I guess the damage bill is going to be in excess of $500, and am about to go calculate how much it will be. Is there anything wrong with accepting a check, and if so, should i be getting it for just the repairs and replacement parts, or for the entire bike.(will be posting pics later when i calm down)
2) I am in no way liable to any damage or anything am I. I CLEARLY had the right of way considering i was on the roundabout and she was only approaching. I have reported to the police already, and they will be speaking to her.
3) I am expecting a phone call from her tonight, so is there anything i shouldn't be saying, should i give her a rough quote on the price for repairs etc, or should i get it professionally done at the LBS
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED
