Glad you are in relatively good shape also! Just wait until the insurance assessor views the bike. They are so cautious; it will have many more new parts than you may anticipate; wheels, forks, etc. They do like to keep our premiums up If it goes Cat D it will be a good one to buy back
I guess both you and the bike could be a lot worse but still rates as a shitty day. Hope you and bike are fit and able soon.
Shit! Glad you got away with this relatively unscathed. The knee sounds a bit ropey but I'm sure with time and rest you'll be back to full fitness.
Hope the broken ribs aren't giving you too much discomfort. I have heard it can be very painful. No one wants to their bike damaged and getting a massive bill to get it on trailer probably didn't help.
One careful owner [emoji41] At least you now have a genuine excuse to buy some carbon for it, lucky bugger.
Nasty. Rest up and get planning the repairs while you are doing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
UPDATE : damage not too bad really. Not doing this via insurance. Will let the dealer deal with it. And no I didnt win the lottery last night either !!! Rescue the badge and a cone off any DVT will be fine New handguard, all other stuff easily transferred Carbon fibre hugger and brake pipe cover incoming Carbon fibre numberplate assembly as well
Try Mib you do not have to go via insurance there as can do claim on your own. Not sure if you have to report it to insurance but you will need police report.
Insurance know about it, why would I need a police report ? No one else was involved ??? edit : Sorry whats Mib ???
Cause it was rubbish on public highway so responsibility of other driver. They would have to investigate to try and find driver (give you crime refrerence) and eventually conclude untraceable driver. Then you claim on Mib for untraceable driver damage
You can order the Ducati Corse badge separately [GRAPHIC DUCATI CORSE - Part No. 43819771A], maybe £10 - £12 so a bit expensive. You might even be able to carefully peel off the one on your original nose. The full parts catalogue is on the Ducati Maintenance web page and you can get an idea of prices from the KFM-Motorräder web site. Looks like you came off worse than the bike, hope your recovery is as quick as the bike gets fixed.
MIB = Motor Insurers Bureau All insurance companies contribute to a fund. When you are injured as a result of the actions of an untraceable driver, you can claim for damages from the fund. Welcome to MIB
You'll also need to disclose it as an accident on your car and bike insurance for the next 5 years, even if you don't claim.
All done ! Police informed, got a number. I was more than angry to hear I would have a claim against me even if the insurers haven't had to pay out a penny, takes legalised theft to a whole new level
