Hope you're OK mate,

the boys in Steak & Kidney will come to help you with the bike. Just diagnose the problems, organise a barbie and they will come.

You've been around KSRC too long to think about giving it away now. We love ya mate.

Hope you didn't damage the twins. :shock:

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the kind words and offers of help :)

If I could get the bike to Madkaw's I would, but it can't be ridden with no oil in it :?

I am getting the bike picked up and taken to Caringbah to be repaired, hopefully the casing can just be welded or a cheap spare part found for it.

I didn't get the details of the cabbie (yes, I know, I know), but my manager at work suggested I contact the police and let them know that the cabbie knocked me over and basically left the scene without giving me details or offering help. Also, he suggested I contact the RTA as they will have ctv footage as it was in the cbd.

not to be pessimistic, but what is the resolution of the cctv like, each cab has a big sticker on it with an unique id number, doesn't it?

worst case scenario a 2mm steel plate and a shitload of epoxy resin will fix it for you!!!
