The driver picking up a skip from outside our house yesterday knocked my bike over.

The damage isn't extensive, however it consists of a small crack to the fairing where the mirror hit the ground and a small scrape on the exhaust.

Had the driver been polite enough to inform his employers I would probably let it go with a few quid to get the vital parts second hand. However as my bathroom fitters who helped him put the bike up tell me he didn't seem to care. Plus when I phoned his company they weren't aware, plus the skip was only meant to be collected today. I think I want a new fairing and a new set of zorsts...Am I unreasonable?

Just done the sums, new front fairing, right hand mirror, associated parts to fit the mirror and a right hand silencer. A grand total of just over £1100.


And thats without labour!!!

Well, they've asked for a quote from a dealer due to the value of the works required.

Any suggestions of dealers whoc deal with Aprilias within a reasonable distance from Woking?

I've spoken to Infinity and whilcst they can give me a cost, they are not an official Aprilia dealer anymore.

Thanks,

Phill
