Hey all im looking for a little help my bike got backed into by a guy last night id just got off it a few min before and parked it in front of a friends building was about to walk into my friends house when i saw this guy get into his car and start to reverse he must of bin drunk cause he went back about 6ft right into my bike my helmet is chiped my head set broke off the helmet and my bike has broken tabs on the light housing and cracks to the rear my question is now that I have his insurance information if I try to put a claim in with his insurance company will they contact mine I don't want my insurance company asking to see my bike because of mileage discrepancy
Sounds kinda wierd, what do you mean by mileage discrepancy. And I dont know what insurance company he has. But I always contact my insurance company as a backup. What if he tells his insurance company that some crazy guy it claiming that he hit their bike.
Really only supposed to use bike 5000 miles a year i may be a bit more than that & When he backed into my bike i ran infront of his car cause he was takeing off and i called the police they came and he admitted to everything they took down our information and made us exchange insurance information he apologized for the inconvenience now I'm stuck with a chiped helmet and broken bike
Sorry. I think if you added a few . And a few , and maybe a few ? It would help us a bit. Also, sorry to hear about your bike. It depends on the insurance... Sometimes they send out a claims adjuster and sometimes they don't. If you have his info you call his insurance. As a matter of a fact... He should be submitting a claim and his insurance will contact you to verify his story. You can submit a claim with your insurance just in case he decides to lie, then you have a claim open and your insurance will go after the party at fault.
But this should be a lesson learned for ya. Why lie about your mileage to save a few bucks a year? Now, you may not be able to claim an accident and loose a lot more $$$$ in repairs. Just do shit the right way the first time that way you don't worry about shit biting you in the ass later down the road.
Just say you replaced the guage cluster/ecu due to an electrical problem. :P
Dont stress on the mileage. You want your insurance company to deal with the other guys insurance. Since your not at fault they wont be nit picking your bike. Especially about the mileage.
Ive been wishing someone with good insurance would back into my bike. Would love to get my paint job redone at someone else's dime. :facepalm.

I’m going through this right now, just waiting on my fairings from Auctmarts to show up. Nothing says a free face lift on your R6 better than a sympathetic apologetic insured motorist to back in to your bike and help you finance your bike rebuild.

I can't speak for all the GDC members though...There is certainly an abundance of jackassery over there... :lol
1 Call his insurance file a claim
2 give an accurate account of what happened
3 they send out an adjuster to checkout bike
4 they send you check.
5 you fix the bike yourself save money
6 Profit
