bastid! sorry to hear that mate, i was just about to stick up a post to see how you where getting on with it too! dont know if its worth your while but i know someone who works in the claims dept of my local council and they often pay out in these cases if evidence is shown.
hope the bike and yourself are back on the road asap

bpllox, sorry to hear it pal 

[WAZHALO31]

Jonah i am already on the case, I am going to be sending the local council a full rundown of what happened along with Pictures and repair quotes etc. if nothing happens I am going to take legal action against them to cover the cost etc.

Apart from the off the bike is brilliant to ride sooooooooo comfy!

I am good thanks Andy my thigh is bright purple at the moment

Cheers
Loz

good to hear that you are only bruised and not broken pal 

i guess that must have been a large pothole  ,

 i assume that you have pics of it taken with a tape to show the dimensions as they will be there filling it to avoid you being able to chase them for a claim

[WAZHALO31]

I sure have Andy, its about a 12 inches wide and around 3.5 inches deep. I had to pull up fairly sharpish and hit the damn hole usually I avoid that hole like the plauge but had no choice but to hit it this time,.

sorry los   fook me you got some luck ... next time mate don't hit the brakes ...hit the throttle to lift the front over it ... big trails bikes shouldnt let a pot hole stop em ...

long as you ok mate ....live to fight another day  

[WAZHALO31]

Hi Roy my luck at the moment is blooming shite, the pothole I hit was 20inches by 18'' wide big fooker. I had a car that had jammed his anchors on in front of me! so I had no choice but to brake, its in at triumph getting fixed all photos and stinking letter ready to be sent to birmingham council in th morning!

I don't expect much back to be honest but if they just repair the hole would be a start. loads of accidents at this junction as well!

I am ok

Cheers
Loz

[roy]

give them hell mate ...it could of been a lot worst for you and the bike ..make them take note  

[Jak]

take photos of the hole and evidence of bike damage

Get hold of the appropriate forms from the County Court to file a claim

write to the council and inform them of your intention to claim if they dont compensate you for the damage

if youre getting nowhere then file a claim, youve nothing to lose but the court fee which wont be a lot compared to the damage costs

Its easy to do and you can do it yourself 

[WAZHALO31]

I have a compensation form coming from the council should be here on Wednesday, will keep you all posted!

[fido]

Thats shit mate..... Glad you are ok!!

[WAZHALO31]

Tell me about it at least I get it back all shiny and new again the weekend.
