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.

    • I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return
    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
    • Before and after, headlight's done along with bumper.
