Tromp

I would rather have legs like Peter Sagan than those of Chris Froome . And no , I am not g#y.

Do you also jump these squads ?

I have been to the Lawyers. They recon it has become the accepted norm to apportion blame. The only factor that is debatable is the % liability. In any case , they recon , it will never be lower than 10 % . AND to add to it , I can conciser myself lucky that I was not charged a % of the damage to said Pr#ck's car ( new Volvo )

You are lucky you don't ride a Mongoose or Ghost

In the greater scheme if things, it is not a fortune. However, the principle remains. My only and reliable means of transport is written off not withstanding the fact that I had zero responsibility. Why should I be out of pocket, inconvenienced ,sitting with a scrapped piece of metal, etc. ( Or were you thinking of donating a car or some money ? Ha ha )

At least you were "observant enough " . CIB Insurers would like that. If you were killed , not their problem. Then it is a third party claim from some government dept.

Why do they bother teaching us at school that Jan Van Riebeeck landed in the Cape in 1652, his wife's name was Maria , they had two children , named Boetie and Sussie, ???? They should be teaching us these life skills ( en n tweede taal like LEGALISE ) Ha ha

YUPPPPPPPPP ( Actually , there will be no No-claim bonus. Insurance premium stopped as there is no more car to insure. Flip , now that I think of it , maybe someone will come and steal the piece of scrap from my premises .)

" To late !!! " , she cried . With the benefit of hind-sight , this would be a perfect world. Outsurance had me sign an indemnity , indicating that I will not hold them responsible for administrating the claim. I know , I know. Crappy decision.

I was insured with Outsurance ( 3rd Party , fire , theft, never-ever ) Decided to not " use-up " no-claim bonus and handle the claim as Mr. Pr#ck admitted guilt in front of witnesses . WRONG DECISION. It is the insurance company of Mr.Pri#ck ( CIB , somehow linked to ABSA )that is making the offer in full and final settlement

I got them to adjust the values to a more acceptable base ( still not fair values ). They will not budge on the apportionment. Saw lawyers this morning. They will take it up , but their specialist say "apportionment " is the accepted norm.

This Pr#ck jumped the stop street. I collide with said Pr#ck. His insurer says I am 40 % guilty for " not being more observant " . Will only pay 60 % of my loss based on current values. Car total loss. Sitting with a piece of irreparable scrap and some pocket money. I am just letting off some steam with this post.

My insurance ( Santam ) does cover the towing . However , make sure that YOU phone the insurance company to get approval. It is known that the truck driver dials his " office " to get the go ahead i s o. the insurance company. Further , there are times that your car needs towing without being involved in an accident. In that case, you can also use the free service provided through the ( FNB? ) Petro card.

Okay. I will make that four in stead of three. The fourth being the Grim Reaper. Still , no charge.

Let me say upfront that I have no connection with FNB, other than using their Petro Card. Users should note that there are a number of FREE accident/towing/stranded options with this card that ACTUALLY work. Speaking from experience.

These days there are a number of ER24-type of accident chasers. Driving equally reckless ( but with blazing red lights ). At least , they could be saving a life - depends which of the three gets to the scene first.

Anyone in Jhb area want to buy this device ? .It is new in the packing bag. Cost me R700.

Ai ! Die lewe is lekker !

I bought a Rock Shock lock-out from a fellow Hubber. , not realizing it is a hydraulic system as apposed to the cable type ( not his fault ) . My problem is that it will not fit on the shocks of any of my bikes . It "obviously" needs some sort of cap for the "HOSE/BANJO" to screw into, be filled with fluid and bled. Aunt Agatha, please advice.

Picking up DSTV. !! He must have been VERY naughty ?

Sorry to interrupt the flow of these great pics. However, I sometimes get the impression that some designs are " just to be different " ( read weird ) . Surely , with the benefit of hindsight , CAD, etc., a "sweet spot " should have emerged ?

Noting your vast number of postings , I thought you might be the "EXSPERT". But taking into account the slant this thread is taking , the SA Champ (?) that mutilated his Kawa may be a tool and not a fool. Actualy, I am getting bored with this . Cheers

Is that like wanking ?? " its a feeling that's like no other and you do it to yourself "?

100 % windgat showing off !! Kyk Ma. Kyk hoe wonderlik is ek . VAAAAAK

No sympathy . Die fool moet voel. Likewise if it should happen to that pommy bloke on one of the biking programmes on TV.
