FreshAl's trip to Spain (pics)

[FreshAL]

Didn't quite go according to plan...

Fortuantly, no-one was hurt. The bike was being towed on a trailer. The car towing the trailer failed to make a bend, span and smashed into the crash barriers at about 50mph. The trailer was destroyed, and so was my bike.

No, I wasn't driving the car! My mate Rob was, and his bike was totalled as well.

The rest of the holiday was great though, kayaking, snowboarding, canyoning

Insurance is proving a pain in the arse, so until it's all sorted I'm borrowing this beauty

1988 XL500R - first bike I've ever kick-started, and it's 500cc! Great fun.

So, anyone got a SV (or similar) going cheap?

[McGee]

Oooo that sucks mate

At least you had a good time.

Any more pics of the wreck

Why were you towing in Spain?

[colin1]

sorry to here about the bike
im glad no one was on it when it got smashed up

trailers are tricky things

some of the founder members of this site were involved in a nasty accident involving a trailer

insurance on that one is gonna be wierd, as the bike was cargo at the time

it just shows that cars may be safer than bikes, but bikes are safer than trailers

Bummer. At least nobody got hurt though.

I'd have thought insurance would be tricky in that situation, I take it the car was fully comp and that's what you're claiming from?

[FreshAL]

[Dexter]

Your mate must be either
a) really stupid
b) really irresponsible and not give a damn about you

That damage is pretty nasty . Sounds like a bit of a fuck up just losing it on a bend with that lot on the back.

[colin1]

i think if you are not used to driving with a trailer, it can catch you out.

I personally would say you ought to be claiming on your fully comp bike insurance. Fully comp covers damage you do to your bike through your own accidents, be it dropping a ladder on it in your garage, or it falling over in the back of a van, or off a trailer. Unless your small print in your motorcycle policy says no cover is offered in the event of damage occuring during transit of the vehicle or word to that effect, they have to pay out.

[SoND]

That's one way to wreck a bike

Unlucky mate.

i think pheonix deals with bike insurance stuff at his work sort of so he is more likely to know than most of us

That sucks

The bikes totaled and it was'nt even your fault. Is there anything on it thats salvagable?

Hope you get it back on the road soon
