My bus takes on a bus

**Pab13** · 08-06-2008, 06:36 PM

Hi people, Thursday was one of those days I would like to forget sitting at home 300k's away from Melbourne I got a phone call, my brother Mick had a bus pull out in front of him as he left work on my bike. He was fine apart from tendin damage to his foot and bruising[B)] but my bike not so good

it looks like a bent frame bent forks front wheel and discs look bent so I think they will wright it off but have to see what happens as I will lose about $10,000 that my insurance wont cover[V] but might be able to buy something else or build a fighter at last

will post pics latter. I just can't believe his luck people say it happens in 3's so hopefully thats the end of his shit run of luck.

What exactly do you mean by "have to see what happens as I will lose about $10,000 that my insurance wont cover"

Is your brother uninsured? Have you put aftermarket goodies on the Bus?

If it's the latter and they're not insured, you still own them, so can you replace them with originals?

by losing $10k he means the aftermarket goodies that he has fitted large

**Large** · 08-06-2008, 11:03 PM

If you've got the originals, take the aftermarket stuff off and replace it.

**BANDITROD** · 08-06-2008, 11:15 PM

yeah it was a thought but i think from the pics i have seen all the good bits are fucked aswell i am thinking the only good parts left are the braided lines

**Learnatic** · 09-06-2008, 12:52 PM

At least your brother is ok this time,good luck with the bike.

**Pab13** · 09-06-2008, 08:59 PM

yeah large what rod said and i'm happy my bro is ok that is the most important thing i'm just waiting to here back from the repairer if i can buy it back if they wright it off.

**Fight_fan** · 10-06-2008, 01:56 PM

FAARK! Bad luck Pab! I feel for ya mate, that really sux...

**Gix11** · 10-06-2008, 03:02 PM

Fuck me. Mick hit again? He's not having a good run hey? At least he's not so messed up this time. Poor bastard! Hope everything works out for you Paul.

Hang on a minute. You do realise this is your big excuse to actually build a Streetfighter now don't you? Maybe Mick was trying to help you out?

**Weaselman** · 10-06-2008, 03:46 PM

its a sign

**BANDITROD** · 10-06-2008, 03:48 PM

its allready been discussed si

**Pab13** · 10-06-2008, 09:16 PM

Yeah I have to see what happens been looking over seas at frames and other bits hoping they wright it off and i get to buy it back

**Jockney Rebel** · 10-06-2008, 10:03 PM

shit luck mate .....but every cloud has a sliver lining ...

**Pab13** · 11-06-2008, 03:38 PM

I wish every cloud had a silver lining. I just found out my insurance wont cover me as I was not riding the bike, so spent all day trying to chase info, police wouldn't help because of the privercy act or some shit so finally chased down the bus company manager, to have him tell me that it was still undicided whoes falt it was so there insurance company will look into it. I think i'm about to be shafted I hope they use some vass first.

**JackTar** · 16-06-2008, 09:20 PM

Fucked if I am ever lending my bike to your brother Paul. As a matter of fact if you and Rod stop at my joint on your way up to Sydney make sure you don't bring that jinxed fucker with ya

**Pab13** · 19-06-2008, 08:40 AM

no need to tell me mate I wouldn't lend him any of my bikes again, if it doesnt get sorted soon I will be inheriting a Z1000 and a ZXR750 but I would rather have mine back
