BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

For those that are wondering the circumstances of my little dice with death. Below in red shows the approx track of the car, and blue my track on the bike. The camera screen shot is at the point of impact crossing the 2 lanes of the dual carriageway, with the roundabout top right. My speed before the impact was 25mph according to the camera, thankfully the road directly behind was clear.

So at the last moment they cut you off because they were in the wrong lane going the wrong way. CNUTS.

Hi Glenn, Strongly suggest you watch the video below from White Dalton solicitors. Pay particular attention to the bits about not qualified legal advisers appointed by insurance companies and the bike hire scam.

I didn't take the hire bike that was 'offered' They did try to push the bike.

The bike has been written off, I need to wait for the 3rd party insurance to confirm liability and inspect the bike. I have asked how the claim will be settled, ie a cash settlement or a replacement bike + the value of the extras fitted.

Probably a bit early yet, but there's a nice one for sale on the "BMW R1200RT and R1250RT UK and Ireland only" FB page.

I have had an offer for the bike that I have rejected, I can't buy a bike with similar age, mileage, spec for offer value. I have given the insurers 4 bikes that are close to my bike, so I will see what offer they come back with.

In the meantime I pick up a 2019 RT on Saturday from Williams BMW (should have been last weekend, but they couldn't get it MOT'd).

My injuries are now part of a claim, I had my 2nd visit to the physio today, she was impressed with the range of movement regained over the past 3 weeks, but it's still sore in and around the front of the shoulder. Tomorrow I have an appointment to assess the injuries for the claim.

My bike may appear here later https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/surreymotorc ... 61.l161211

I'm picking up another RT tomorrow, 19 plate with 15k on the clock, still waiting for the settlement to come through.

The replacement RT, Snake Pass towards Bamford yesterday

@EasyRider Are you putting in bid for it?

No Glenn it will now cost more than my winter hack budget to buy and repair.

I bet it ends up being used for parts, which will be a shame.
I glad i never bought any parts for it as i nearly did.

I presume the bike has been sold as it's been withdrawn from eBay
