Do you have any picks of the damage caused to your bike? get some cause a hit that big (that they are claiming) would of bent the frame on the bike or at least busted the forks or shifted the engine, if none of this happened then there is nothing they can do you for. Is your bike registered? If not then the worst they can do is call the police saying you were riding an unregistered bike, with no evidence you were :D the details you then gave them were to say you saw someone hit the car and ride off not that it was actually you that did it, it now becomes a their word against yours and they will have to take you to court and will loose cause you can prove no damage to your bike :D I have been there before...

My guess would be that he admitted liability in the note he left.

I agree with Brad. Most people would admit responsibility when they leave a note. Then you get the people like the guy who hit my car last night who don't leave notes at all and leave me to fix the damage myself... Slightly annoyed. Point is, I'm interested in decent but cheap panel beaters you guys reccommend.

I think it depends exactly what the note said... if he said bluntly i hit your car then yes, but if he just gaves his details to say there was an accident then he can claim otherwise. If they are pricks then be one back i say. I had a situation where a women hit me and admitted to police to seeing me, my car, my passanger, and the time and place but said she did not hit the car even though there was damage, i had to take her to court to get it fixed, she then also had court costs :P

i didnt leave a note. i literally hit the car got up all shaken up and they come running out to see if i was alright. got an email from some debt collectors the other day. they want payment, told them there not going to get a cent until the insurance company contacts me respectfully and provides me with information. the only info they gave me was to pay this etc etc.

The guy at the panel shop that forwarded the quote on said cant do much about it car is still under new car warranty. I said no its not. Its been three years and hes like ahhh, ummm ahhh ahahhaha. D!CK!!!!!!

Woh back up there m8, wadda ya mean it's been 3 years............Since the accident?

If it's taken this long to claim then look up your statute of limitations.

Also I call BS. Over that time frame the vehicle may have sustained additional damage from a H&R, for which they are pinning on you.

I think hes trying to say its been over 3 Years, so its no longer under Warrenty :(

what i would do since u obviously know were the owner of the car lives.

get $500 in cold hard cash. walk up to there front door, tell them heres $500, now tell the insurance company u no longer want the car repaired.

most ppl i know would take the $500 if its waved in front of there nose.

thats what we did when my sister hit a sh*t box old honda city.

regards

Chris

i wouldnt do that $500 thing as it means u are claiming responsibilty for the accident. if you do no settle claims it means you are not responsible. as for more quotes!!!

more quotes ftw.. tell the guy to eat a dick. hes obviously doing a dodgy either declair it as a reparable write off or hes getn half the car resprayed in reality (doing other things that he wants done making you pay for it)

put it this way.. i had a lady run up the back of my old AE101 levin.. there is about 5 in perth.

I had the rear pulled back slightly, bumper was bogged slightly and resprayed, new tail lamp.. i got the roof sprayed as well (figured what the hell), had the front bumper touched up.. that cost 1100 bucks...

your getting dodged for sure.. im in the parts industry, call SSS auto parts or Kenji auto parts, they sell new aftermarket parts.. I would be sourcing hte parts from there, they are cheap as chips.. they might be quoting on genuine parts but even then thats just crazy.. bumpers are tops 500 bucks genuine for somthn like that, guard woud be about 360 for a genuine one i rekn.. plus paint and laybour.. your getn jipped!

sorry mate but its been fixed already, i was informed that insurance companies who have insured the other guy (i wasnt insured riding an mx bike) wont do me any favours at all. this means i cant choose where they are to obtain quotes from, where i want the car repaired. its all up to the owner of the vehicle. no doubt she chose the highest quote she could as the prices started at 2600 and went right up to 5300.

they even tried to charge me a $300.00 towing fee from their house to the repairer!!!! terrible hey considering he drove the car 600km from Kal to perth after the accident hahaha. cheers for the offer but mate, would have been super handy if i was able to choose the repairer, however they have knocked a grand off the bill anyways so im more than happy to cooperate with them now.

stories like this shit me!

I can see why you gave in and decided to pay etc. My mate accidentally scuffed an 02 e-class rear bumper (his NEIGHBOUR) while reversing and left a note... that evening the guy came knocking and wanted 1.5k cash that day and threatened with swearing and saying he'll him to court and the whole thing. He agreed to my mates choice of repairer and got it looking like new for 300 bucks...

yeah its unfortunate but there is not much you can do. It was a serious wake up call and now i put my bike on the back of a ute if i want to go riding. Which is the way it should be. The guys didnt threaten me or anything.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
